Andras Nemeth: 
Liang Xu: 
Xu asked for a queen, which prompted Nemeth to ask the dealer for a nine.
"Ok, nine," Xu said jokingly.
The flop of

on the turn helped Nemeth jump in the lead. The 
on the river was a blank and Xu exited in third place for €288,090 ($326,275).
Nemeth and Eibinger are now guaranteed €451,350 ($511,174), playing heads up for the trophy and €653,000 ($739,552).
