Ketzer Picks the Wrong Time

Nível 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Sam Grafton was riding a heater and it continued as the money bubble approached. Felipe Ketzer was in the cutoff and opted to get all of the chips in the middle against Grafton in the big blind.

Sam Grafton: K♠K♦
Felipe Ketzer: A♣7♣

The board ran out clean for Grafton but the stacks were very similar. It was Grafton who was at risk for 812,000 and earned the double-up, leaving Ketzer with just 16,000 chips after the hand.

On the next hand, Ketzer got the last of his chips in the middle against Artur Martirosian. Ketzer was unable to connect with the board and was left with just five-high, as he bowed out of the tournament.

Kayhan Mokri Eliminated in 11th Place (€8,700)

Nível 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri moved all in for just for around 150,000 in the cutoff and Nacho Barbero reshoved all in for slightly more on the button. The blinds folded and the two players revealed their cards.

Kayhan Mokri: K♠9♠
Nacho Barbero: K♦J♥

The flop came 7♣3♠2♠ and Mokri picked up some outs despite being dominated. The Q♥ on the turn changed nothing and the J♣ on the river paired up Barbero who claimed the bounty.

Barbero instantly went to the treasure chest to redeem his ticket and drew the last €50,000 bounty.

"What am I doing playing this tournament with the top 0.1% luckiest people in the world!? I have no chance!" Sam Grafton exclaimed.

Nível 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Joao Vieira was one of the shortest stacks remaining and moved all in for 210,000 in the cutoff. Sam Greenwood also pushed all in on the button and Julien Sitbon called off his last 340,000 in the big blind.

Joao Vieira: A♣J♣
Julien Sitbon: A♦Q♦
Sam Greenwood: 6♥6♦

The flop came 8♣3♥2♠ and Greenwood was still in the lead with his pair of sixes, looking for the double knockout. However, the A♥ on the turn put Sitbon in the lead after spiking a pair of aces. The 9♣ bricked the river and Vieira was the lone casualty.

Guram Andronikashvili Eliminated in 8th Place (€13,600)

Nível 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 60,000 from middle position and received calls from Julien Sitbon on the button and Guram Andronikashvili in the big blind. The trio saw a flop of K♦2♣7♠, which they all checked.

The turn was the 4♣ and saw Andronikashvili lead for 75,000. Greenwood got out of the way, but Sitbon obliged with a call. On the 2♦ river Andronikashvili fired out another bet, worth 130,000 this time. Sitbon consequently went all in, covering Andronikashvili's 150,000 chips that he had left himself behind.

Andronikashvili used one time extension before he ultimately made the call.

Guram Andronikashvili: 4♦3♥
Julien Sitbon: 7♠7♥

Andronikashvili tried to hero call, but Sitbon had the goods with a flopped set that the river made a full house.

Sam Greenwood: A♣K♥

Barbero tried to do the stand-up trick in jest, but to no avail. The board ran out an inconspicuous J♠J♥9♠5♣7♦ and Barbero was headed to the payout desk.

Julien Sitbon Eliminated in 6th Place (€21,150)

Nível 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Julien Sitbon was sitting on a short stack in the under-the-gun position and decided to put around half of it in the middle for a raise of 200,000. Sam Grafton called from the button and the other players got out of the way.

The flop fell A♥8♦J♣ and Sitbon pushed the rest of his stack in, getting a snap call from Grafton.

Julien Sitbon: A♦9♣
Sam Grafton: A♠Q♥

Sitbon was dominated by Grafton and neither the 6♣ turn nor the 7♣ river brought him relief. He was eliminated in sixth place while the other players continue to battle for the trophy.

Maksim Vaskresenski: 10♠6♠
Sam Greenwood: A♣K♥

Both players flopped a pair but Greenwood had the best of it. The 4♥ on the turn and the 9♣ on the river changed nothing, sending Vaskresenski home in fifth place.

Artur Martirosian: J♦6♠
