Bastian Bluem was still musing over the final hand of Day 2 after making his exit in 17th at the Gran Casino Madrid. The German (pictured) had been ahead of the 230,000 average heading into that decisive moment, but his AK ran aground against a villain's JJ and left him clinging to his tournament life.
There was to be magical Day 3 comeback from Bastian, either, as at the first opportunity to ship his short stack his K4 couldn't overcome the big blind's 88.
"It's a long way to come to play just one or two hands," he rued, "But any time you cash in a tournament like this you've got to be happy as it's not normal.
"I feel like I played well over the whole event too, it's just a shame the timing of that hand, but that's the way it goes sometimes."
Bastian won €1,500 for his efforts and was swiftly followed to the rail by Omar Rodriguez, as the field was reduced to 15 players in quick time. Omar wins €1,600.
