Then Luis Rufas squeezed from the Small Blind making 315,000 to go. Goncalves was tanking for a moment and then called. Stang was thinking even more but finally went out. Then flop came 7:h 5:d J:s and Luis Rufas moved all-in without hesitation. Candido called him with A:h J:d and was in trouble against pocket Q:d Q:h holding by Rufas which has him covered.

No help in two last streets where we saw 7:d and 5:d and Todd hit the rails.
Roman Makhlin eliminated in 17th place (€20,000)
Roman Makhlin hit the rails just before the break after some crazy play. First Action folded to him sitting on the small blind and He decided to shove all-in. Big blind folded and Russia took the pot down. After, he shoved from the button taking blinds and antes. When he was sitting on the cut off position, he did the same and one more time everyone folded. 4th time it was too much for opponents, when Roman went all-in from the hijack, Kent Lundmark made the call from the cut off. Mikhalin showed A:s 4:d and Kent A:c K:c for domination. Board 7:h 9:c 3:c 3:d Q:d hit no one and Lundmark scooped the pot sending Russian player to the rail.

25th blind level 20,000 / 40,000 ante 4000
Alessandro Longobardi eliminated in 16th place (€23,000)
Georgios Skotadis was the one who started this action. He raised from early position and Kent Lundmark called on the button. Alessandro Longobardi decided to squeez all-in from one of the blinds, Skotadis went away but Lundmark made the call.
Italian showed A:d K:h and Lundmark pocket 7:c 7:h. On flop we saw 6:s Q:c A:h and thing was looking very nice to Alessandro. Everything changed on turn when 7:d hit the board leaving Longobardi drawing dead. He waited for the last card but 8:s couldn't help him anymore.
