kaum zu glauben, dass Horecki mit 33 der zweitjüngste am Tisch ist. Kann mich kaum an einen durschschnittsälteren FT entsinnen.

Very first hand and action!
In very first hand of the final day Slovakian player Jan Bendik shoved from the button and Manuel Bevand called from the big blind.
Bendik: A:s 6:c
Bevand: K:d Q:h
Board: A:c Q:c J:s 9:c J:h
Bendik doubled up and Bevand is crippled to about 100,000. He pushed from the button again and both leaders Horecki and Leonzio called from the blinds. Every street there were checks from blinds and when we saw whole board: 4:h 5:d 5:h J:c J:h dealer ask for showdown:
Bevand: Q:h J:d
Horecki: Q:c 3:c
Leonzio: A:h K:d
Bevand doubled up to about 300,000.

Roberto Nulli eliminated in 8th place (€54,550)
That was simple action. Roberto Nulli shoved from under the gun and Marcin Horecki called:
Nulli: A:h T:c
Horecki: Q:h Q:s
On flop T:h Q:d 3:h Nulli was in big trouble and he was hoping for runner runner miracle to crash Horecki's set. When 4:d hit the turn Roberto was drawing dead. Dealer showed us J:c on the river but that card couldn't change nothing. We are down to 7 players and with over 4,000,000 Marcin Horecki is now closer to the chipleader Leonzio!

Manuel Bevand eliminated in 7th place (€71,000)
Very short-stacked Manuel Bevand shoved for 300,000 preflop and Roberto Romanello decided to re-shove. Action folded around and:
Bevand: K:d 2:d
Romanello: T:c T:d
Board: 8:s 7:h 3:c A:d 7:s
Now we're down to six players!

Jan Bendik eliminated in 6th place (€100,000)
We have crazy action in first 40 minutes. Jan Bendik is out of the tournament after another preflop all-ins. Slovakian raised to 150,000 and then action passed to Peter Skripka. He checked his cards and moved large tower of chips behind the line. Bendik called and:
Bendik: A:c K:d
Skripka: 9:c 9:h
Flop J:c K:h T:c was good for Bendik. He caught top pair and a gutshot Broadway draw. But then … 9:d came down on the turn and Russian take the lead in this hand. Bendik was preying for a queen in the last street but there was only the blank 4:s and he's out of the tournament.

MAIN EVENT
Romanello has his momentum!
Two hands and Roberto Romanello became a chipleader. First he raised from the cut off to 125,000 and only Leonzio called from the big blind. We saw T:c A:d 2:s on flop and both players checked. When 6:h came down on turn, Leonzio decided to take a lead and bet 230,000. Roberto called and we saw T:h on the river. Then Leonzio made a very quick pot bet for 700,000. Romanello was cool. Just counted chips and made a call. Leonzio mucked his hand and Romanello reveald 9:h and said very serious: “I've said it before in this tournament. Do not bluff the Romanello.” Emilliano Bono looks confused and then Marcin Horecki eased tension and said: “Let's tell him in Italian in case he don't understand.”
After this hand Romanello was up to 2,625,000
Short after Roberto won a biggest pot in the tournament so far. Skripka has been very active before this hand. He opened lot of hands and took down lot of small pots. Anyway, he raised from the button to 170,000 and Roberto made a huge 3-bet to 605,000 from the small blind. Skripka then lookedd down on his stack and announced all-in. Roberto snap called:
Skripka: 3:h 3:s
Romanello: K:d K:h
Board: 7:c 5:s 8:d 4:h T:c
No help for Skripka and Roberto made a huge double up to 5,480,000 and now he's leading the field.

The power of believe
You don't have to be a good player to win a one tournament. Emilliano Bono has been classified by media and other players as a biggest fish standing in the tournament. But he has cards and he never loose a flip – that's enough to win the tournament. He's won another coin flip to double up.
Action folded around to Bono on the small blind and he pushed for 859,000. Horecki on the big blind ask then: “Do you want me to call?” Then Bono said: "I play for wins tournament, only this," - and he really means that! He believes as much as in God. Horecki called:
Bono: 4:d 4:h
Horecki: A:s 6:d
The window card was the A:h, but another two saw: Q:c and … 4:c giving Italian a set. When K:c felt down on the turn Polish Team PokerStars.com Pro was drawing dead. River was the 9:s and Bono doubled his stack up to around 2,000,000. Horecki is down to 2,450,000.

Break
11. level come to the end and players went on 15 minutes break. There is good news as well. Black Member cYde went on a break as a chipleader. There is lot of very aggressive moves at the table. After button open raised, the chipledaer put a 3-bet from the small blind and then cYde decided to 4-bet from the big blind. Button folded but chipleader shipped all his chips into the pot. cYde made a snap call with Big Slick A-K and the race against pocket 9-9 had started. Flop blanked but Kx on the turn gave cYde a pair and double up to over 200,000. Before the break Black Member lost some chips and now he has almost 200,000.
I have all details about a deal. €100,000 has been shared between all players by the chipcount:
John: €27,100
Nichlas: €26,600
Victor: €23,600
Alex (cYde): €22,700

Bubble bursts!
Field is down to three players. The shortest stacked guy raised with pocket J-J and got called from the blind. Flop was 8:s 4x 2:s and both players went all-in. Called showed A:s 4:s with a nut flush draw and another spade hit the turn to eliminate pocket Jacks holder.
Black Member cYde has lost his lead and now he is the shortest stack in the tournament. I saw an action in the turn when board showed: K:s 5:s 6:c 3:s and cYde bet 15,000. Opponent check-called and the river was A:c. Both players checked and cYde revealed K:c J:s with a second pair. That was enough to scoop the pot.
cYde has now about 80 BB, so the shortest stack doesn't mean a shortstack
HIGH ROLLERS EVENT
Action!
Black Member cYde is up to 160,000 (100 BB) and he has second stack. First Nichlas clashed with John. He raised from the button to 4000 and John called from the Big Blind. Flop was Q:h J:s 6:c and John check-called 6200 from Nichlas. Turn was 9:s and John made another check call for 12,400. When the K:d hit the river both players checked and Nichlas showed 9:h 8:h. Then John revealed J:c 5:c to scoop the pot and extends a massive chiplder with almost 300,000.
Short after than Nichlas lost another few chips in clash with cYde. Our Black Member raised from the button to 4000 and Nichlas called from the Big Blind. On flop 6:s A:c 6:h Nichlas check-called continuation bet for 5500 and dealer showed us Q:d on the turn. Both players checked and 9:s felt down on the river. Nichlas made another check and then called 11,500 from cYde. Black Member showed A:s 7:h and Nichlas mucked.
In the very next hand Nichlas folded from the button and cYde raised to 4800. John called and we saw K:c 4:s 6:h on flop. Alex made a continuation bet for 6300 and folded when John put a raise to 15,500.
So, Nicklas is getting shorter all the time, cYde is trying to play and he's chipping up but he has very tough play with leading John on his left.
