Nível 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The action was caught on a turn of 3♦10♠9♣10♥, where Fahredin Mustafov checked from the small blind to Fabian Riebau-Schmithals on the button.

With 550,000 in the pot, Riebau-Schmithals fired a bet of 250,000. Mustafov made the call and the 5♠ river rolled off.

Mustafov checked again before Riebau-Schmithals put him all-in for 775,000. Mustafov spent one of his time extensions before letting his hand go, leaving himself with less than 20 big blinds.

Shortly before, Robert Cowen busted in 23rd place.

Nível 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

"Jay" had gone all in for 185,000 preflop and was looked up by chipleader Youness Barakat.

"Jay": A♠K♣9♣7♣ All in
Youness Barakat: A♦9♦7♠7♥

"Jay" flopped top pair on 3♠8♦K♦, but Barakat's flush draw came in the 10♦ turn, locking up the pot. The meaningless K♠ fell on the river as "Jay" said his goodbyes and Barakat continued building his massive stack.

Nível 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

"Alakazam" had three-bet for his stack of 335,000 over an open from Youness Barakat. Barakat quickly called and the cards went open as soon as the other tables finished their hands.

"Alakazam": K♦K♣8♣2♣ All in
Youness Barakat: 10♥10♣6♥5♦

Alakazam had gotten it in relatively well with his kings, however, the J♣Q♦10♠ flop made Barakat a set to take a big lead.

The Q♠ turn upgraded him to a full house, and "Alakazam" failed to hit a king on the 3♥ river, setting his fate as the bubble boy in stone.

The remaining 27 players were all in the money, being guaranteed at least €10,600 for their efforts.
