Dan Ryan just escaped elimination by the skin of a favourable river card. All-in with A-2 he was called by Dan Carter with pocket queens. No ace on the flop, no ace on the turn, bang – an ace on the river to double him up.

Carter was in another hand soon after, left with no option but to act fast. In with A-4 he hoped to have the best of it but Andreas Gulunay called slightly ahead with A-8.

5-T-J on the flop. Dan needed high cards for a split. The seven on the turn wouldn’t help there though and only a four would save him. It didn’t come and Dan Carter, who a few minutes before had around 250k, is our 12th place finisher collecting € 41,100.
