Erik Lindberg $617,000

We have a TV Table

[user22113]

German on German action.

Stiehler had gotten very short and decided to try and pick up the blinds, by pushing with {6-Clubs}

. He was called by Ruthenberg with {J-Hearts}

and didn't get any help on the flop.

Final table is scheduled to begin at 18:00 local time.

Rabe doubles through

[user22113]

against Levi's {A-Spades}

.

No help for Levi on the flop and he is down to 160,000 and in danger of being the TV table bubble boy.

Seperated at birth?

[user22113]

Bobcat Goldwhaite who played Mr. Zed in Police Academy and Thomas Fougeron who is currently at the final table of the Dortmund EPT.

Scary stuff.

All I need now is for Fougeron to go all in doing his Mr. Zed impression and it will make my day.

We are on a break, down to the last table

[user22113]

Players are on a break as the final table is set up. With 9 players left the official TV table is not until we are down to 8, but we should have TV coverage from this point on.
