60 Minute Dinner Break
After all the drama packed into the last hour of the final table, the remaining three players probably need a dinner break - although superstacked Martin Hruby may be the impatient to press home his advantage. We'll be back to see it through to the end in one hour.
Daniel Negreanu Eliminated in 4th Place (€175,000)
So it folded around to Daniel Negreanu on the button, who shoved for 1.205 million. Martin Hruby in the small blind thought about it briefly, and then announced, "OK, I call."
Said Negreanu, "YESSS!!! Oh, did I say that out loud?"
Negreanu: 
Hruby: 
Board: 
Negreanu was unhappy, to say the least.
"Good luck. I shouldn't even shake your hand because that's the dirtiest thing I've ever seen, but I will anyway. Ewwww that's greasy." He was clearly still on considerable tilt from the huge three-way hand that knocked out Luca Cainelli, and his cheery tone could not entirely mask his upset. "Why did you slowroll on that hand? When you had the nuts, and...?"
"I don't slowroll," said Hruby quietly in broken English.
"When he went all in, then I went all in, and you thought about it, and then you said call? You don't remember?"
Hruby: "Yeah."
Negreanu: "Why would you think about it? You had a straight."
Hruby: "Well, it was a big pot for me."
Negreanu: "But you already had a straight," Negreanu said, "You had the nuts."
Hruby: "Yeah, I know."
Negreanu: "Ha. It's all right. It was just weird."
Negreanu agreed to Konstantinos Nanos' request to have his photo taken with him before heading to his exit interview, where he continued to talk about that big three-way pot - "It was really bad poker etiquette but I'll give him a lesson because I know he's new," Negreanu said of his fellow Team PokerStars Pro. Either way, there will be no triple crown for Negreanu this time, Phil Ivey will stay just a shade ahead in the all-time money list for the moment, and as we head into the dinner break, there are three players remaining.

Michael Eiler Doubles Up Through Martin Hruby
The young German Online Player Michael Eiler has just won a very important flip against Team Pokerstars Pro and Chip Leader Martin Hruby. Eiler open shoved for 1,975,000 from under the gun and Hruby called.
Eiler: 
Hruby: 
Board: 
Eiler avoids the Ace and the Ten to double up.
Negreanu Talks Nanos Into Call
A bombardment of speech play just put Daniel Negreanu in prime position for a double up before the dinner break - unfortunately the deck had other ideas. He threebet all in over the top of Konstantinos Nanos, still only with just over a million. As soon as his chips were over the line, he was off, at a mile a minute:
"I've only got seven minutes. I'm gonna ship every hand! I don't want to go to dinner break like this."
Pause while Nanos appeared to waver.
"Please call. PLEASE call. Please!"
Nanos' eyes headed towards his stack.
"Do it do it do it do it," chanted Negreanu, and after a second's further hesitation, he did it.
Nanos: 
Negreanu: 
The flop: 
The turn: Now all the chop possibilities ran back and forth between them...
The river: That was one of them!
The dealer split the pot and handed it out in equal chunks. Maybe Negreanu will need to face the dinner break as a short stack after all.

Negreanu Misreads Nanos; Now the Short Stack
Daniel Negreanu made it 240,000 from the button and Konstantinos Nanos called out of the big blind to see a 
flop, which he checked. Negreanu bet 300,000, and Nanos called it.
They both checked the turn and got to see a 
river for free. And here is where it gets interesting. Nanos bet out 680,000, and there commenced a most impressive dwell from Negreanu.
Eventually he announced: "This thing in my gut is telling me I should call you." We hope that he is not suffering from a Aliens-type parasite. But whatever the thing in his gut told him, Negreanu did not yet call. Instead, he talked. Things that he said included:
"I'm gonna feel dumb about this one."
"Nine-ten?"
"Six?"
None of this elicited much of a reaction from Nanos.
Eventually Negreanu declared, "Nine-ten or nada. So based on that read, I guess I'm supposed to pay it."
He called, and Nanos turned over 
for a straight. Negreanu mucked, and dropped right down to a million or so.
