Rizzello Eliminated In 12th Place (€8,600)
Level 34: 125,000/250,000 (250,000)
Entries: 12/2045
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 A♦8♦ while Falkowski held A♠J♣.
The flop was promising for Rizzello, coming 2♦10♠5♦, 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.
Eichner Eliminates Mercier In 13th Place (€8,600)
Level 34: 125,000/250,000 (250,000)
Entries: 13/2045
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: A♣5♣
- Charles Eichner: 9♦9♥
The flop was ideal for Eichner, coming 8♠7♥10♣ 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
