It had to come sooner or later as Kirill Zapletin's stack started to get into that terrible shoving zone. When it did come Zapletin will be cursing his luck at the way it finally ended.
Bruno Launais opened with a raise and Zapletin shoved for the rest of his stack ~427,000 and Launais called.

It looked certain that Zapletin was going to double up when...

Zapletin became our final table bubble boy with a tiny consolation of €44,000 and we have tomorrows final table
He declared himself the chip leader yesterday when he turned out to be in second place behind Konstantinos Nanos, but today he actually is the chip leader. Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu is way out in front as we head into the final, and there is a lot at stake here for him. Not only will the €700,000 first prize, should he win it tomorrow, nudge him back into the top spot on the all-time money list, but if he goes all the way, he will also join Roland de Wolfe and Gavin Griffin in the elite club of triple crown winners.
Negreanu may have the most chips, but the outcome of this final is far from decided. Still in the running are also Negreanu's fellow Team PokerStars Pro Martin Hruby, Sunday Million winner Michael "MAE9690" Eiler and 2009 EPT Deauville finalist Bruno Launais.
We'll be back at the Kursalon Palace tomorrow from noon CET - although owing to the clocks going back in Europe tonight, it might be an hour later than you expect. Your faithful reporters will be on the floor from then, and we'll be bringing you all the shoving, reraising and check-folding action you could possibly desire.
