The prize pool for the Main Event had reached a total of €4,075,500 and continues to climb as more players take to the felt over the two remaining flights.
Joost Schippers opened from the button to 2,600. Bhavin Khatri defended the big blind.
He check-called a bet of 2,700 on the flop of 10♥10♦A♣ before the K♦ was checked around. Khatri then bet 1,500 on the 10♠ river and Schippers quickly folded.
