Daniel Dvoress	5,700,000	1,225,000

Jerry Odeen raised to 200,000 from early position before Niklas Astedt put out a three-bet to 475,000 from the button. The action folded back to Odeen, who put in the call.

The flop fell    , and Odeen checked to Astedt, who continued for 250,000. Odeen then shoved all in for 1,800,000 and Astedt immediately called to put the Swedish player at risk.

Jerry Odeen:   
Niklas Astedt:   

Odeen's flush draw was nullified when Astedt filled up on the   turn, making the   river meaningless as Odeen's elimination was already set in stone on the turn.

Odeen was the first player to leave the final table, leaving the eight remaining players on the official final table.

Niklas Astedt	8,000,000	2,445,000
Jerry Odeen	0	-2,260,000

Michael Rocco raised to 240,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Tamas Adamszki in the big blind, who defended. Admaszki then check-called Rocco's 350,000 bet on the     flop before he checked again on the   turn.

Rocco bet again, this time for 475,000, and Adamszki followed with another call. The   river double-paired the board and Adamszki checked for a third time.

Rocco spent some time in the tank before coming out with a massive bet of 2,200,000, almost enough to put Adamszki all-in. Adamszki threw off his glasses and slid forward his time bank extensions, but ultimately made the call before he had to use one.

Rocco showed    for nines full, and it bested Adamszki's    for sevens full. Adamszki headed to the final table with just over three big blinds, while Rocco had nearly 100 at his disposal.

Michael Rocco	9,550,000	2,850,000
Tamas Adamszki	325,000	-3,375,000

Orpen Kisacikoglu jammed his remaining 350,000 chips in from the cutoff, and Cedric Schwaederle made the call from the button. Jerry Odeen then three-bet to 1,500,000 from the big blind, leaving only 120,000 chips back and Schwaederle quickly got out of the way.

Orpen Kisacikoglu:   
Jerry Odeen:   

The     flop helped neither player, but the   turn gave Kisacikoglu a flush draw. The   river was a big blank, however, and Odeen's ace-high held to eliminate Kisacikoglu in 11th place, leaving the field on the final table bubble.

Jerry Odeen	2,500,000	-800,000
Orpen Kisacikoglu	0	-3,800,000

Martin Kabrhel opened to 200,000 from under the gun and called when Orpen Kisacikoglu three-bet to 800,000.

Both players checked the     flop before the action repeated on the   turn.

Kisacikoglu checked again after the   river and was facing an overbet when Kabrhel slid out 2,400,000. Kisacikoglu took some time before making the call.

Kabrhel showed him    for a flopped full house to take down another big pot.

Martin Kabrhel	11,000,000	5,200,000
Orpen Kisacikoglu	350,000	-3,450,000

Daniel Dvoress raised to 160,000 from under the gun before Nacho Barbero jammed all in for 895,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Dvoress, who snap called. Play was halted until the other table had finished their hand, and once it did the cards went on their backs.

Nacho Barbero:   
Daniel Dvoress:   

Dvoress' dominating pair would not encounter any threat on the       runout, and Barbero left the tournament in 15th place, as the last to leave without any money.

The fourteen remaining players, in the meantime, secured the min-cash of €41,610.

Daniel Dvoress	5,700,000	1,130,000
Nacho Barbero	0	-1,095,000

Michael Rocco raised to 160,000 from early position, as he had done a couple of times on the bubble with great success. Big blind Leonard Maue made the call, and the pair saw a flop of    .

Maue checked and Rocco fired a continuation-bet of 80,000. Maue then responded with a raise to 225,000 and Rocco swiftly folded his hand, marking the first hand the chip leader had lost since the start of hand-for-hand play.

Michael Rocco	6,700,000	290,000
Leonard Maue	1,300,000	300,000

Orpen Kisacikoglu	3,800,000	840,000
Diego Zeiter	0	-485,000
