First it was German pro Niklas Heinecker who doubled through Antonio Esfandiari and just now it was another German pro in Ole Schemion who took care of "The Magician".

After the elimination of Hoi Cheung in 17th place, the tournament staff began breaking a table and moving players to their new seats to form two tables of eight. There was a problem, though.
On the official structure sheet for the tournament, it states the following:
"The duration of each level is 40 Minutes for the first 6 levels, 60 minutes thereafter. Tournament will commence up to 8-handed, moving to 6 handed as soon as practicable after registrations close. One re-entry per player permitted."
Some of the players began to object the breaking of the table, stating that the tournament was to be played six-handed as soon as possible per the structure sheet. The tournament staff then checked the official sheet and this claim was verified. That's when the tournament staff began moving the players from the broken table back into their old seats. That's when the second problem arose.
Fabian Quoss was moved to one of the tables where they had actually played a hand. Quoss is quite short on chips and had to give up more of his stack to play this hand. Quoss argued that because the table was incorrectly broken and the players moved, the hand played shouldn't count and the players should all get their chips back. The tournament staff said that wasn't possible, but Quoss attempted to explain the process would be relatively easy as it was only one simple hand, and it could be reconstructed to give everyone their chips back.
Quoss pleaded his case, but it amounted to no avail as the tournament staff they weren't going to reverse the hand, so in the end, Quoss was out some chips, as were others at the table.
