Busted Players That Cashed for €2600

Level 30: 50,000/100,000 (100,000)
Entries: 31/2045

The MPF Grand Event continues to narrow down as we say farewell to the players finishing in 32nd to 38th place. Each of these players fought hard and cashed out for €2,600. We’re now down to the final 31 players as the excitement builds!

Ten Pointer For Backstrom

Level 30: 50,000/100,000 (100,000)
Entries: 31/2045

After an early position open, Per Joakim Backstrom went all-in for his last 1,345,000 (13.5 big blinds), and Rui Soares re-jammed with his massive stack. The original raiser folded, setting up a showdown:

• Per Joakim Backstrom: 10♠10♣
• Rui Soares: A♥Q♠

The flop delivered a 10♥4♥9♠, with a ten right in the window, putting Backstrom in excellent shape. But the tension rose on the K♥ turn, giving Soares a hefty 13 outs. Fortunately for Backstrom, the river was a total blank with the 2♣, allowing him to secure a crucial double-up!

Per Joakim Backstrom – 3,100,000
Rui Soares – 3,600,000

Biggest Stacks After The Short Break

Level 30: 50,000/100,000 (100,000)
Entries: 34/2045

After a short 15-minute break, the 34 remaining players in the MPF Grand Event are back and ready to continue their journey toward the final table. With blinds now at 50,000/100,000 and an ante of 100,000, the pressure is on as everyone fights to climb the leaderboard and secure their spot.

Only the biggest stacks are safe from the blinds, while the others will need to stay aggressive or face the risk of elimination. As we edge closer to the final nine, keep an eye on the chip leaders who are setting the pace in this intense stage of Day 3. Nikolaous Konstas started the day 2nd in chips and kept growing his stack to first. Average stack is sitting at 3,000,000 so everyone is getting shorter and shorter.

Take a look at the biggest stacks after the break:

Peluso Scoops A MASSIVE ONE

Level 29: 40,000/80,000 (80,000)
Entries: 34/2045

Fabio Peluso (pictured below) opened the action from under the gun, and Zigmas Pekarskas decided to defend his big blind. The flop brought 3♣2♦8♥, and after a check from Pekarskas, Peluso fired a bet of 250,000. Pekarskas made the call, keeping things interesting.

The turn came 8♥, and once again, Peluso bet after a check, this time for 750,000. Pekarskas still wasn’t ready to back down and made the call.

With a river of 4♥, Pekarskas checked for the third time. Peluso asked for a count and, upon learning Pekarskas had around 1.4 million left, bet 1 million. Pekarskas thought for about 30 seconds before tossing in a single chip to call. Peluso quickly revealed Qc Qs for pocket queens, and Pekarskas mucked his hand, giving Peluso a pot worth over four million chips.

Fabio Peluso – 6,000,000
Zigmas Pekarskas – 400,000

Not Everyone Loves A Chop Pot

Level 29: 40,000/80,000 (80,000)
Entries: 36/2045

Stavros Petychakis moved all-in with his remaining 425,000 chips and got a call from fellow Greek, Nikolaos Angelou Konstas, on the button.

• Stavros Petychakis: A♥J♣
• Nikolaos Angelou Konstas: A♠8♦

Petychakis was in great shape to double up to 12 big blinds. The flop brought K♠Q♣5♦, keeping him ahead. The turn 5♣ paired the board but didn’t change the outcome. However, the Q♥ on the river meant they split the pot, each taking a share of the blinds.

Petychakis busted shortly after this hand in 36th place.

Stavros Petychakis – 0
Nikolaos Angelou Konstas – 4,500,000
