The last hand of the level saw Cristian Dragomir open to 60,000 on the button before Koen De Visscher made it 140,000 in the small blind. Call from the Romanian.
Theflop was

Dragomir: 
The turn was the 
and the 
came on the river, De Visscher doubled to 1.9 million and Dragomir dropped to 1.3 million.

Wow, What a Start For Maisto
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Italian Giacomo Maisto has had what can only be described as an amazing start to this final table and is the chip leader, despite starting as one of the shortest stacks!
He has managed to double up in consecutive hands, the first saw Kevin Vandersmissen min-raise to 60,000 from middle position and Maisto, next to act, clicked it back and made it 120,000 to play. The action folded back to Vandersmissen who wasted no time in moving all in and Maisto instantly called.
Maisto:
Vandersmissen:
Board:
This boosted Maisto to 1,800,000 and dropped Vandersmissen to 3,180,000.
The very next hand Maisto opened the betting with a 73,000 raise, next to act was Vladimir Geshkenbein and he folded. Next to him was Philip Meulryzer and he made it 176,000 to play and when everyone folded back to Maisto he asked how many chip Meulyzer was playing then moved all in. Meulyzer quickly called and the Italian flipped over 
which were up against 
Meulyzer joked that he was "pretty good at these" possibly referring to his jacks versus kings hand on Day 4 but his luck ran out on this occasion as the board ran out 
.
Maisto now has 3,700,000 whilst Meulyzer is the short stack with around 500,000 in his stack
Get Behind the Meul
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Some huge Belgian-on-Belgian action now, as Koen De Visscher min-raised to 60,000 UTG+1 and Philip Meulyzer flat-called on the button. They saw a flop.
Flop: 
De Visscher bet out 85,000. Meulyzer quickly called and they saw the turn.
Turn:
De Visscher now bet out another 172,000. This time there was a short tank from Meulyzer. Then he called.
River: putting four clubs on the board.
De Visscher bet out 292,000 this time. Meulyzer tanked for perhaps 20 seconds this time - before raising to 677,000.
Now it was Meulyzer's turn to enter the tank. After about three minutes of silence, he shook his head and sighed - but continued to tank. Meulyzer stared impassively at the ceiling. Another three minutes later, and Geshkenbein called the clock. 40 seconds later, De Visscher's hand was in the muck and Meulyzer was raking in the pot - he's at over 2.1 million now.
"Sorry, nothing personal," Geshkenbein apologised.
"No, I understand," sighed the dejected De Visscher. He's down to little over a million.
Gesh We Can
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Kevin Vandersmissen opened to 60,000 from the button and Vladimir Geshkenbein made the call in the big blind.
Both checked the 
flop before Geshkenbein led out for 90,000 on the 
turn. Vandersmissen made the call to see an 
river and Geshkenbein now quickly fired out 202,000 - Vandersmissen did not waste too much time in calling but mucked when the Russian turned over 
for the pot.
"Your lucky streak is over..." said Geshkenbein.
First Four Hands

Denis Murphy opened to 62,000 from the button and Morten Mortensen made it 350,000 (around half his stack) in the small blind, Murphy folded quickly.
Giancomo Maisto raised to 62,000 from UTG+1 but Koen De Visscher 3-bet to 156,000 in the big blind, the Italian reluctantly folding.
Cristian Dragomir opened to 60,000 on the button and won the blinds and antes.
Philip Meulyzer raised to 60,000 from middle position before Morten Mortensen made it 145,000 from the hijack, Meulyzer asked for a count, "750k" was the reply. Meulyzer folded.
