Christian Fischbacher Eliminated in Fourth Place (€1,060)

[user38449]

Former chip leader Christian Fischbacher has just been eliminated from the tournament by Rasmus Gandrup.

Gandrup shoved from under the gun and Fischbacher made the call from the small blind, tabling {A-Hearts}

; Gandrup flipped over {A-Spades}

.

"Chop it up," said one railbird, just before the dealer spread the {5-Spades}

flop, giving Gandrup the lead with a pair of fives. Fischbacher picked up four more outs when the {8-Clubs}

fell on the turn, but the river bricked ( {K-Spades}

), clinching the pot for Gandrup.

Fischbacher will take home €1,060 in prize money for his fourth-place finish.

Michael Pesek Eliminated in Fifth Place (€840)

[user4144]

Michael Pesek moved all in from under the gun for a total of 32,100 and received two callers: Christian Fischbacher in the cutoff and Mark Vos in the big blind.

The {2-Clubs}

board was checked down right to the river, where Vos made a bet of 12,000. Fischbacher folded.

Although Pesek looked in cracking shape with {A-Clubs}

, he'd been pipped at the post by Vos' {Q-Diamonds}

.

"Make sure you say I had odd of like 4.7-to-1 to call," Vos later added, "so it was a super God-like call."

[user4144]

Christian Fischbacher and Stephan Inhester reached a {J-Spades}

flop. Fischbacher bet 20,000, but was raised all in by Inhester who was playing 84,500. Reluctantly, Fischbacher threw his cards into the middle, and is now down to 55,000 as a result.

Michael Kainz and Joost Winjen Eliminated in One Fell Swoop

[user46392]

Kainz: enjoying being all in on the big blind

Michael Kainz looked incredibly cheerful given that once he'd put his big blind in he had just 3,000 chips behind.

Nevertheless, Mark Vos raised, and to his left Joost Winjen moved all in, apparently unaware that Vos had raised. They agreed though that they were all happy to be all in anyway (although Kainz happily pretended for a moment that he might fold), and they turned over their cards.

Kainz: {K-Spades}

Vos:

Winjen:

Board:

Thus Vos enjoyed a most unlikely victory, and both Kainz and Winjen hit the rail in seventh and sixth places respectively.

Gerard Deckers Eliminated in Ninth Place (€420)

[user46392]

It folded around to Mark Vos in the small blind, who announced a raise of precisely, "How much you've got, whatever." Big blind Gerard Deckers, with half his stack already in the pot, had little choice but to call.

Deckers: {K-Clubs}

Vos:

Board:

And with that, we lose our first in-the-money finisher.
