Umberto Ruggeri opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Fabian Bartuschk three-bet to 295,000 in the hijack, leaving himself around 85,000 behind. Siegfried Kapeller was in the small blind and shoved for 1,330,000, and Pawel Wojciechowski in the big blind also moved all in for around 1,700,000. Ruggeri quickly folded, and Bartuschk was left with a decision.
"I could be dead here. It would be great if you both had jacks and queens," he said, before he finally called off his stack.
Fabian Bartuschk: A♥10♥ 
Siegfried Kapeller: Q♠Q♦
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♣K♦
Wojciechowski had the chance to eliminate two opponents in the same hand if his Big Slick could find a way to win. Bartuschk would need to beat both players to win the main pot, and gave himself a chance after the 4♥10♣5♦ flop paired his ten. Kapeller's queens remaining in the lead through the 8♠ turn, which left Bartuschk & Wojciechowski with one more chance to improve.
The J♣ didn't bring any more drama to the hand, and Kapeller's queens held up, which meant Bartuschk was out in 20th, and Wojciechowski's stack tumbled to around 400,000.
