Just after sending Charlie Carrel to the rail, Julian Stuer raised to 90,000 out of the small blind and Javier Gomez Zapatero called in the big blind. The flop fell 
and Stuer continued for 75,000, which the Spaniard called.
After the 
turn, the second barrel was worth 220,000 and again Gomez Zapatero called with some 650,000 behind. The 
river completed the board and Stuer finished his triple-barrel story by moving all in. Gomez Zapatero gave it brief consideration and tossed in a chip for the call, and Stuer rolled over 
for a jack-high straight.
Gomez Zapatero mucked the cards, but as per all in showdown rule, his 
for flopped trips eights were revealed. Gomez Zapatero receives €306,500 while the next spot is already worth €384,340.

Charlie Carrel raised to 75,000 on the button, Julian Stuer three-bet to 250,000 from the big blind, Carrel four-bet shoved 1,125,000 and Stuer snap-called.
Charlie Carrel: 
Julian Stuer: 
"Ahh," exclaimed Carrel, who let out a chuckle. The vibrant Brit was looking for a miracle and spiked one of the cards he needed on the 
flop. Carrel needed more than that though, but the dealer failed to deliver on the 
turn and river.
Carrel received €235,450 for his sixth place finish, while Stuer almost has half of all the chips in play.

Level 23

Charlie Carrel raised on the button to 75,000 and Julian Stuer defended the big blind. On the 
flop, Stuer check-called a bet worth 100,000 before check-folding the 
turn to a bet of 225,000.
Then, Stuer raised to 75,000 on the button and Thomas Muehloecker defended the big blind. Muehloecker check-called a bet of 55,000 on the 
flop before facing another bet worth 210,000 on the 
turn. That proved to be too much for Muehloecker and he folded.
Last but not least, Muehloecker limped in and called a raise to 75,000 by Dario Sammartino in the big blind. The flop came 
and Muehloecket check-folded to a bet worth 75,000 by Sammartino.

Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
After several hands without any flop in the last level, the new level kicked off with a bang. Dario Sammartino raised to 65,000 first to act and Ekrem Sangiolu called out of the small blind. On the flop, Sanioglu quickly checked and Sammartino continued for 50,000. Sanioglu looked up from his massage and said two words only: "All in." Sammartino called as quickly and the cards were turned over.
Dario Sammartino:
Ekrem Sanioglu: 
"Come on," Sanioglu said in French and asked for diamonds or to pair his jack and queen. However, the turn and river were both blanks and Sanioglu was sent to the rail in 7th place for €171,300. All remaining six players have €235,400 guaranteed and the pay jumps are getting bigger and bigger.
