With 193 players remaining and 191 making the money, the tournament director has just announced that the tournament will be dealt hand-for-hand until the money bubble has burst.
All players who make the money are guaranteed to take home €8,420.
There was around 80,000 in the pot as Ka Kwan Lau and Daniel Erlandsson went to the turn on a board of A♠8♣6♠2♣. Lau then bet 50,000 from the big blind and Erlandsson called in the hijack.
The river was the 8♠ and Lau moved all in, having Erlandsson's remaining 111,000 covered. Erlandsson tanked for several minutes until he called.
The players waited for hands at the other tables to finish before showing their cards, smiling and laughing with each other despite the gravity of the situation. Lau eventually showed J♥6♥ for a bluff, while Erlandsson turned over A♥Q♦ for two pair and doubled up.
Heads-up on a board of 9♥6♠10♠7♠, Arthur Thiriart bet 8,000 from the small blind and Patrik Zidek called in early position.
The river was the 4♣ and Thiriart fired out 65,000. Zidek tanked for several minutes as cameras began to surround the table, with this being the last hand remaining in the room.
Zidek eventually called and Thiriart turned over K♠Q♠ for a flush. Zidek tossed pocket sevens into the muck, his turned set not enough to avoid handing over the big pot to Thiriart.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Erik Bauer shoved for his last 65,000 and was called by Joao Mestre to be put at risk.
Erik Bauer: A♣10♣
Joao Mestre: K♣Q♠
Bauer held the lead and kept it on the J♠10♦3♠ flop, but the Q♦ turn paired Mestre's queen and Bauer began to get up from his seat.
Fortunes quickly turned, however, as the K♦ river gave Bauer a Broadway straight for the double up.
"Vamos! Let's go!" Bauer celebrated as he collected the pot.
Eugenio Sanchioni opened from middle position, then Viktor Jensen moved all in for his last 13,000 from the big blind. Sanchioni had almost nothing to add, so he called.
Viktor Jensen: K♣K♦
Eugenio Sanchioni: 8♥6♦
The dealer fanned a board of 10♥A♠Q♣4♠Q♥, and Jensen secured a fortunate double up.
Tobias Garp raised to 8,000 under the gun before Stefano Rege Gianas three-bet to 25,000 in middle position. Tamas Adamszki four-bet to 41,000 in the small blind, Garp moved all in, and Rege Gianas snap-called for 185,000. Adamszki got out of the way.
Stefano Rege Gianas: A♥A♠
Tobias Garp: 9♥9♠
Rege Gianas was far ahead with his pair of aces as the board ran out 6♥2♥7♥7♦2♠, earning him a bubble double up.
After the hand, Adamszki asked the dealer to retrieve his cards from the muck and he showed he folded Q♦Q♥.
Vitezslav Cech shoved for his last 33,000 from the hijack and was called by Tamas Adamszki in the hijack to put Cech at risk.
Vitezslav Cech: K♦K♠
Tamas Adamszki: Q♦Q♣
Cech was in good shape to double up, but the 5♠8♠Q♥ flop vaulted Adamszki into the lead with a set of queens.
The 5♦ turn and 7♦ river changed nothing and Cech, who suffered cracked kings at the hands of Adamszki earlier today, was eliminated just shy of the money.
Boris Pesic opened the cutoff to 16,000. The button and small blind folded.
Sebastien Matrige, who had almost have his stack in the middle in big blind and ante, peeled his cards before placing his remaining 9,000 chips, into the pot.
Pesic called for 1,000 more. The two players turned over their cards as the cameras gathered.
Sebastien Matrige: A♦Q♦
Boris Pesic: 6♦6♠
The flop of 8♣8♥4♣ was clean for Pesic's pocket pair, and Matrige needed an ace or a queen to win.
The 2♣ meant that the remaining players were one card away from cashing in this record-breaking Main Event.
Matrige's fate was sealed on the 9♦ river. He tapped the table and bumped fists with his fellow table mates as he left the table.
Shortly after the money bubble burst, Till Suplika moved all in for his last 55,000 from the big blind and Roman Retiere put him at risk under the gun, having Suplika covered by just 3,000.
Till Suplika: 7♠7♣
Roman Retiere: A♠J♣
Retiere took the lead on the A♥9♥3♦ flop with a pair of aces, then improved to trips on the A♦ turn. The river was the 8♣ and Suplika was sent off to collect his payout.
After the bubble burst, Andrii Kozlenko shoved from under the gun, but nobody called. On the next hand, he moved all-in again for 20,000 from the big blind. But this time, he faced Tamas Adamszki who opened to his left.
Andrii Kozlenko: A♠6♣
Tamas Adamszki: A♣9♣
The board of 9♦J♦Q♣3♥A♥ was no help for Kozlenko, who was eliminated in 189th place for €8,420.
