The Money Bubble has Burst
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Three eliminations came so fast that there was no need for hand-for-hand play. We managed to catch the busts of Jannick Wrang and Christian Golob, but not that of Alexander Lakhov, who appeared to be the 152nd-place finisher.
The rapid eliminations resulted in the tournament staff pausing the tournament several minutes so they could conduct a head count. After tallying the player, and checking it twice, it's been determined that 151 players remain and the remaining field is in the money!

Multi-Tabling Live!
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Day 1A chip leader Tiberu-Florian Georgescu is multi-tabling at the moment and he was on the bubble in both the Main Event and the €2,000 side event at the same time! He's got a healthy stack of 345,000 in the Main Event and so is devoting his attention to the side event right now. There are currently 51 players left, 47 get paid and again Georgescu is looking good to make the money as he's got an above average stack.

Let’s Gamble
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
With everyone in the money and a while to go until the money jumps there is a completely different atmosphere for the low to medium stacks. Certainly that’s how Mikhail Marchenko from Russia sees it as he opened for 10,500 in the small blind and called a raise to 21,500 from big blind fellow Russian Dmitry Ponomarev. The flop was 
and they both elected to check. Turn card 
elicited a check from Marchenko, a bet of 16,500 from Ponomarev and a check raise all-in from Marchenko. “Call. “ Said Ponomarev who turned over 
for a set but was behind to the turned straight of Marchenko who tabled 
. The river was the 
and Marchenko happily doubled up exclaiming “Before (the bubble) I’d fold.”

Kuo Eliminated in 144th Place (€8,600), Ladouceur Short
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Nicolai Kramer opened to 8,000 under the gun plus one and Marc-Andre Ladouceur made it 21,500 from the button. Kitty Kuo in the small blind shoved her chips forward and made it 36,000 total to Kramer. He made the call and so did Ladouceur.
on the flop and both players checked. The turn was the 
and Kramer bet 18,000. PokerStars Team Online player Ladouceur made the call, but folded on the 
river when Kramer set him all in.
Kuo showed her

and raked in the chips while Kuo was already heading out the door.

Volpe Eliminated in 143rd Place (€9,000)
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We ran into Paul Volpe in the hall way and he was so kind to give us the details on his bust out hand.
He had worked his stack up to 85,000 but would lose most of them in a hand where the player under the gun opened to 9,500. The player was playing a 70,000 stack and Volpe shoved from middle position with 
. The older gentlemen, who had opened under the gun more than once, tanked for some time but eventually made the call with pocket fives. The board didn't help Volpe who was left with just a few chips.
Those remaining chips would soon be gone too. He got it in with pocket fours against ace ten. The flop gave his opponent top two and the remaining two fours didn't pop up on the turn or river. Volpe finished 143rd for €9,000.
He immediately took the little booklet the organization was handing out, to check which side event to play.

Can Anyone Knock Him Out?
Nível 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
I've observed Dimitri Holdeew play 40 levels of poker this week and he's yet to have been busted from a tournament. He won the Eureka Poker Tour Main Event on Thursday and then started playing the Main Event on Friday. He's still in and currently has 150,000. Holdeew was deep in conversation with Dominik Nitsche about mix-max tournaments and reverse mix-max tournaments.
In a mix-max play starts nine handed, then at some point goes six (or four) handed and then the last eight or sixteen play heads-up and the reverse mix-max works the other way. Both players said their preference was for reverse mix-max, but for different reasons. Nitsche said, "I prefer reverse mix-max because then the final table plays out like a normal tournament and there's pay jumps and ICM considerations."
