Ercan Atmaca opened to 110,000 from the cutoff, only to be faced with a three-bet to 290,000 from Stan Van Dijk in the big blind.
Atmaca responded with a four-bet jam to 1,100,000 total, and Van Dijk snapped.
Ercan Atmaca: A♠7♠
Stan Van Dijk: A♦K♠
Atmaca was in trouble with a dominated ace, but the 9♦4♦7♦ flop brought hope. However the K♦ rolled off on the turn to give Van Dijk the nut flush, and the 2♠ completed the board as Atmaca made for the exits.
A break will take place while the final table is prepared.

Timo Scarcella raised to 100,000 from the button and was faced with a three-bet to 375,000 by Nicklas Dehli in the big blind. Scarcella quickly moved all in for around 1,200,000 and Dehli snap called.
Timo Scarcella: K♥K♠
Nicklas Dehli: A♠A♣
In a brutal cooler, Scarcella had run his kings into Dehli's rockets, and the 3♣Q♣J♠2♦5♥ runout changed nothing. We are now on the final table bubble.
Tim Werner opened to 80,000 from the hijack and was faced with a three-bet to 180,000 by Sergej Schumacher in the small blind.
On the 7♦6♠4♦ flop, Schumacher continued with a bet of 110,000 and Werner folded.

Wettern showed 10♠8♣ for a pair of eights but Schumacher had 9♠6♠ for the rivered trip sixes.
Each of Stan Van Dijk in middle position, Jonas Stechbarth on the button and Ercan Atmaca in the big blind had put in 315,000 preflop.

Jonas Stechbarth: K♦J♦
Stan Van Dijk: A♣8♥
Van Dijk had two pair but Stechbarth had a huge draw, and although the 7♠ turn was a brick, the 4♦ river gave him the flush and the double-up.
Dustin Barkholz moved all in for 850,000 from early position and Nicklas Dehli rejammed with the covering stack, forcing out the rest of the table.
Dustin Barkholz: A♠J♠
Nicklas Dehli: [A♦K♥
Barkholz was in trouble with a dominated ace, and the K♣9♣6♥6♣3♥ confirmed his exit, Dehli making a pair of kings.
