First into the pot from the small blind, Robert Kreutzer open-shoved for his final 45,000 chips. In the big, Daniel Van Kalkeren made the quick call with his covering stack.
Showdown

"No queen," begged Kreutzer. We all know what happens next, don't we? The flop came down , and the turn and river blanked off with the and respectively.
Kreutzer got his short stack in good, but he's got nothing to show for it except a small payout from the cashier.

Board:
Brecard made a straight but Carson made a flush, and Brecard busted out.
What looked like a three-way preflop all in bonanza resulted in the elimination of Adrien Alibert. Bernhard Perner took the main pot to put him at 190,000; Florian Döhnert took the side pot to put him up to 350,000.
We arrived at the table to see Luca Cainelli all in for 144,500 on a flop with roughly 60,000 in the pot. Richard Toth was his opponent and went into the tank for about five minutes.
He opted to make the call and tabled , drawing against Cainelli's . The turn card and river card were no help to Toth, down to about 910,000.
