Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Foxen raised to 70,000 and Robert Heidorn in the big blind asked "How much do you play?" when the action was on him. Foxen replied with "A little under 600" and Heidorn called after that. The flop fell 
and Heidorn checked. Foxen continued for 75,000 and Heidorn check-raised to 185,000.
After a brief starting contest, Foxen sent his cards into the muck and was the far shortest stack once again.

to send him to the rail in 14th place for €38,400. All remaining 13 players are now guaranteed at least €42,600 for their efforts.

Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Although Alex Foxen is still on thin ice stack-wise, the American picked up two pots in quick succession for some extra chips. First, he defended against a button raise from Kalidou Sow. The 
flop went check/check and Foxen took it with a bet on the turn.
Two hands after, Foxen shoved on the button and picked up the blinds and antes.

Michal Mrakes' Day 5 has been nothing short of terrible thus far, and the Czech just lost another big pot to lose the chip lead as well. It was Kalidou Sow who opened to 80,000 under the gun, Mrakes called on the button and Robert Heidorn defended from the big blind.
The flop was and both Heidorn and Sow checked. Mrakes bet 150,000, Heidorn folded and Sow called. The turn was the and Sow check-called 250,000 from Mrakes.
On the river, Sow was done checking. He lead out 650,000, leaving himself with 260,000 behind, and Mrakes called. Sow showed for the backdoor nut flush and Mrakes had to muck his hand.
