39 players advanced to the final day 2, with 13 new players joining the action. Boris Angelov began the final table as the chip leader and knocked out Paul Lagan in 9th place. Paul Lagan walked away with €12,800. Thomas Haverstad soon followed Lagan to the rail for 8th place, earning €16,000.
The Young Gun Boris Angelov’s next casualty was the Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel. Angelov eliminated Erik Seidel in 7th place for €20,000. Thomas Lee left with a few big blinds and moved all in with A-J, only to be called by Ren Lin, who held A-K. Thomas Lee received €25,000 for his 6th place finish.
Cristian David put the last of his stack into the middle with A-J. Sam Greenwood, from the small blind, called the all-in with his K-9. The board ran out K-5-4-9-J, ending David’s deep run in 5th place (€31,300).
Sam Greenwood bowed out in 4th place after his J-5 ran into Ren Lin’s A-Q. Greenwood received €39,100 for his 4th place exit. Sondre Suavnevik just had 5 BBs in hand, so he moved all-in to save his tournament life with Q-8. Ren Lin called it with his K-9. Lin hit a top pair in the flop, taking the lead and eliminating Suvanevik in 3rd for €50,800.
On the first hand of the heads-up, Ren Lin took the chip lead and extended it further with a 7:1 lead against Boris Angelov. Angelov didn’t fall back. He soon reversed the role — unlike Angelov — Lin couldn’t reverse the role.
In a post-flop action, Boris Angelov limped with 10-2, and Ren Lin checked with 9-8. The flop came out 9-7-10, giving Angelov a top pair and Ren Lin having a straight draw. Both the turn card and the river card were revealed to be 3. Angelov already hit a top pair, so he put Ren Lin all in, and Lin called only to see his lesser two pairs. Ren Lin earned €71,200 for his runner-up finish and a bounty of €37,500.
