Nível 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Mark Johnston raised to 850,000 in early position with J♥10♦. Stephen Groom called in the cutoff with 7♠7♦, while Tero Laurila and Vidmantas Beliauskas tossed in chips from the blinds, with 6♦6♣ and 3♠3♦ respectively.

The action checked to Groom on the 7♥J♦Q♦ flop, and he fired 1,900,000 chips in the middle. All three other players folded their respective pairs, and Groom won the pot without seeing a turn.

Tsouloftas Overtakes Ninh

Nível 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hiep Ninh raised to 900,000 from middle position with 10♥7♥ and the action folded to Georgios Tsouloftas, who looked down at J♥J♣ and just called.

Ninh continued for 850,000 on the 9♣K♥10♦ flop and Tsouloftas tossed in another call. The 6♦ was then checked by both players before Tsouloftas bet 1,700,000 on the 3♥ river.

Ninh spent some moments in the tank but ultimately tossed in a call with his second pair. Tsouloftas showed his jacks and eclipsed Ninh in the counts when he was shipped the pot.

David Tous Eliminated in 9th Place (€38,420)

Nível 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hiep Ninh opened for 900,000 chips from under the gun and the action folded to short-stacked David Tous in the big blind, who went all in for 3,825,000. Ninh made the call and Tous' tournament life was at risk.

David Tous: A♣10♠ All in
Hiep Ninh: K♥J♣

Tous was ahead and remained so when he paired his ten on the 5♥10♣4♣ flop. The 9♦ turn gave Ninh some extra outs with a gutshot, and the Q♣ river brought in said gutshot.

Tous, who qualified online, was the first to leave the final table after starting it third in chips, while Ninh regained some of his lost chips.

Ninh Gets Adventurous

Nível 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hiep Ninh limped in from the cutoff with 3♦2♦ and it folded to Tero Laurila in the big blind, who looked down at 7♥7♣ in the big blind and shoved all in for 6,475,000

Ninh quickly folded his low cards and Laurila got some bonus chips from the chipleader.

Ninh Limps Again, Causes Mayhem

Nível 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hiep Ninh limped in from early position with A♣Q♣ and Stephen Groom raised to 1,400,000 from the hijack with A♠4♥. Georgios Tsouloftas then three-bet to 3,800,000 in the big blind with A♦10♣, and the action was back on Ninh.

The chip leader back-raise four-bet to 8,000,000 chips, which quickly let Groom muck his hand. Tsouloftos eventually followed suit, and Ninh was kind enough to table his cards for all players to see.

Adrian Thorne Eliminated in 8th Place (€49,960)

Nível 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 1,000,000 from the cutoff and Adrian Thorne tanked for a while on the button before shoving all in for 9,050,000 chips. The action folded back to Tsouloftas, who immediately slammed in a call to put Thorne at risk.

Adrian Thorne: A♦5♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♥K♣

Thorne was heavily dominated and needed a five to survive. He hit one on the 5♥K♦10♥ flop, but Tsouloftas paired his king to stay in the lead. The 2♣ turn and 3♣ river did not help Thorne, and he said his goodbyes in eighth place.

Tsouloftas Ascends Further

Nível 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 1,000,000 from early position with K♠9♠ and the table folded to Tero Laurila in the big blind, who defended K♣Q♣.

The flop fell a monotone 6♥2♥A♥, and Laurila checked to Tsouloftas. The latter made a bet the minimum bet of 500,000, which quickly got the better hand to fold.
