flop, Badziakouski bet 24,000 and Thorel called before doing so again for another 54,000 on the
turn. Badziakouski then bet the
river for 85,000 and Thorel called.
Badziakouski sheepishly turned over ![{9-Hearts}](/img/cards/9h.gif)
for a bluff and Thorel scooped the pot with ![{K-Diamonds}](/img/cards/kd.gif)
.

, Greenwood improved and Badziakouski said "an interesting flop." The
turn made things even more spicy with trips versus straight and flush draw. A blank
on the river failed to improve Badziakouski and he was eliminated in third place for €99,530.
Thorel will start the battle one-versus-one with a slight chip advantage. The duo has €156,200 locked up and plays for a first-place payout of €226,600.
