Rizzello Eliminated In 12th Place (€8,600)

Level 34: 125,000/250,000 (250,000)

Saverio Rizzello open-shoved his last 10 big blinds from under the gun, and action folded around to Poland’s Jaroslaw Falkowski, who made the call. Rizzello showed A8 while Falkowski held AJ.

The flop was promising for Rizzello, coming 2105, giving him a flush draw. The turn 10 added some chop-outs, but the river [invalid notations]7c sealed his fate.

Rizzello exits in 12th place, earning €8,600, narrowly missing a spot at the final table.

Dennis Mercier, down to his last 5 big blinds, moved all in from under the gun. Charles Eichner, who had just taken almost all of Mercier’s chip-lead stack a few hands ago, the French re-shoved from the small blind. Andre Grech in the big blind considered his options but ultimately folded.

Showdown:

  • Dennis Mercier: A5
  • Charles Eichner: 99

The flop was ideal for Eichner, coming 8710 with only one club. The turn 3 didn’t change anything, and the river 6 completed a straight for Eichner. Mercier exits the MPF Grand Event in 13th place, taking home €8,600.

Charles Eichner – 32,000,000
Dennis Mercier – 0

Dennis Mercier, our chip leader, opened to 575,000 and found a single caller in Charles Eichner from the small blind. The flop revealed J85. Eichner checked, and Mercier led out with a 475,000 bet. Eichner responded with a raise to 1.4 million, only for Mercier to come back with an enormous re-raise to 4.4 million. Eichner made the call.

The turn brought the 2, and Eichner checked again. Mercier followed up with another aggressive bet of 5.4 million. Eichner then moved all-in for 9.5 million, and Mercier snap-called.

Showdown:

  • Charles Eichner: JJ (top set)
  • Dennis Mercier: AA (pocket aces)

The river 9 sealed the hand, and Mercier was left devastated as Eichner scooped a massive pot worth nearly 30 million chips, taking over as the clear chip leader in this intense Day 3 showdown. Mercier was left with one million behind.

Dennis Mercier raised under the gun to 475,000 and faced a 3-bet from Italy’s Antonio Alba to 1.3 million. After everyone else folded, Mercier made the call, and the action-packed flop came J58.

Mercier led with a bet of 650,000, and Alba responded by raising to 1.4 million, which Mercier called. With 6 million already in the pot, the turn brought the 4, and Mercier led again with 1,150,000. Alba simply called, bringing the pot to a staggering size.

The river was the A, and Mercier fired a third bullet, betting 1,430,000. Alba took his time before slamming down his chips for the call.

In the showdown:

  • Dennis Mercier: AK (pair of aces on the river)
  • Antonio Alba: KK (pocket kings)

With a look of frustration, Alba tossed his cards, and Mercier claimed the massive 11,060,000 pot just seven minutes after the other players had left for their 20-minute break.

Dennis Mercier – 14,700,000
Antonio Alba – 2,800,000
