Gerald Karlic Eliminated in 2nd Place (€396,086*)

Level 43 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Gerald Karlic
Gerald Karlic

Gerald Karlic limp-called from the small blind versus a raise to 8,000,000 from Martin Tsvetanov.

On the Q62 flop, Tsvetanov led out with a bet of 5,000,000, which failed to shake off Karlic.

Tsvetanov slowed down on the 3 turn, check-calling a bet of 5,500,000 from Karlic. Tsvetanov then check-called a bet of 20,000,000 from Karlic on the 10 river, who left himself only 2,000,000 behind.

Karlic tabled 96 for a pair of sixes, but Tsvetanov got there on the river with A10.

Karlic was forced all in blind in the next hand, and Tsvetanov made the call.

Gerald Karlic: 74 All in
Martin Tsvetanov: J9

Although Karlic turned a pair, he was rivered on the Q6549 runout, and finished second for $396,086*, while sending Tsvetanov the title.

*Denotes heads-up deal

Level 42 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Ricardo Caridade
Ricardo Caridade

Ricardo Caridade raised from the small blind and Martin Tsvetanov shoved from the big blind. Caridade quickly called all in for approximately 30,000,000 total and a showdown was held.

Ricardo Caridade: QQAll in
Martin Tsvetanov: A10

Caridade was in good shape to double up again with his queens, but the A3595 runout paired Tsvetanov's ace — eliminating Caridade in third place.

Tsvetanov On a Tear to Retake Chip Lead But Maybe Misses Value?

Level 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Martin Tsvetanov limp-called from the small blind in respect of a 6,000,000 raise from Gerald Karlic.

The KJ5 flop was checked to the 8 turn, where Tsvetanov check-called a bet of 4,500,000 from Karlic.

The 5 river completed the board, and Tsvetanov only check-called versus a bet of 7,500,000 from Karlic, who looked surprised when Tsvetanov tabled A10 for the nut flush, with Karlic holding J6 for two pair, jacks and fives.

Ryan Plant
Ryan Plant

Martin Tsvetanov opened to 2,000,000 first to act and Ryan Plant three-bet to 9,000,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Tsvetanov, who shoved. Plant committed his remaining stack into the middle and hands were revealed.

Ryan Plant: 33All in
Martin Tsvetanov: JJ

Plant was in rough shape, and the board ran out 105J82 — leaving Tsvetanov with a set of jacks to eliminate Plant in fourth place.

Theodoros Ampelikiotis Eliminated in 5th Place (€138,370)

Level 38 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Theodoros Ampelikiotis
Theodoros Ampelikiotis

Ryan Plant opened to 1,600,000 first to act and action folded around to Theodoros Ampelikiotis in the big blind, who committed his stack worth about 10 million into the middle. Plant called to put Ampelikiotis at risk and the board was run.

Theodoros Ampelikiotis: AKAll in
Ryan Plant: 77

It was a familiar match-up, and the 38599 runout kept Plant's sevens out in front to eliminate Ampelikiotis in fifth place.

Matthew Micallef Eliminated in 6th Place (€106,400)

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Matthew Micallef
Matthew Micallef

Gerald Karlic opened to 1,200,000 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet jam by short-stack Matthew Micallef of 4,950,000 from the small blind. Karlic didn't appear to like it, but after some thought made the call.

Matthew Micallef: J8 All in
Gerald Karlic: A7

Micallef needed some help from the board, and although the K63 flop was sweat free for Karlic, the 9 turn brought Micallef a flush draw. However the 9 river was a brick, and ace-high was good enough to send Micallef to the rail.

Alexantr Spatharis Eliminated in 7th Place (€81,680)

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Alexandr Spatharis
Alexandr Spatharis

Alexantr Spatharis shoved for his last 8,200,000 from early position and it was folded to Martin Tsvetanov in the big blind, who stuck in a call to put Spatharis at risk.

Alexantr Spatharis: QJAll in
Martin Tsvetanov: 88

It was a race, and Tsvetanov had a real sweat after the 9102 flop gave Spatharis an open-ended straight draw in addition to his two overs.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 4 turn and 4 river bricked out — leaving Tsvetanov's eights best and eliminating Spatharis in seventh place.

Jack Sinclair
Jack Sinclair

Jack Sinclair raised to 5,000,000 on the button, leaving himself just two million behind, and Ricardo Caridade called from the big blind.

Caridade shoved on the 392 flop and Sinclair called all in to put himself at risk.

Jack Sinclair: A10All in
Ricardo Caridade: 55

Sinclair was drawing live with his overcards, but the 95 runout left Caridade best with a full house and Sinclair was eliminated in eighth place.

Mikkel Nielsen
Mikkel Nielsen

Mikkel Nielsen shoved for approximately 5,000,000 first to act and action folded around to Martin Tsvetanov in the big blind, who asked for a count and tanked a while before putting in a call to put Nielsen at risk.

Mikkel Nielsen: A10All in
Martin Tsvetanov: AJ

Nielsen found himself out-kicked, and the 52932 runout provided no help to eliminate him in ninth place.

Konstantinos Nanos Eliminated in 10th Place (€37,250)

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Konstantinos Nanos
Konstantinos Nanos

Action folded to Konstantinos Nanos in the small blind, who jammed for 4,750,000. Much to his concern, he received a snap-call from Alexantr Spatharis in the big blind.

Konstantinos Nanos: A8 All in
Alexantr Spatharis: AK

Nanos had been unfortunate to run into a bigger ace behind him, and the king kicker played on the A433Q runout.
