"Kairi" Eliminated in 7th Place (CHF 5,800)

Frank Visser

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/1,200,000, 120,000 ante

All players before "Kairi" folded and he raised to 500,000 from the hijack with 10♦10♥. Anton Heinrich still had the massive chip lead in the small blind and put in the call with K♣J♣.

The flop was spread as J♥Q♦9♥ and Heinrich took the betting lead for a size of 500,000. "Kairi" responded aggressively with an all-in for 2,100,000 chips.

Heinrich asked for an exact count and handed over a few time bank cards before ultimately putting in the call.

"Kairi" stood up as he saw his demise head-on when the 3♦ turn and 7♦ river spelled the end of his tournament run, which would end in a respectable 7th place.

Heinrich, on the other hand, gathered even more chips. He now plays five times as many chips as anyone else at the table, having more than half of the total chips in his possession.

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

"Alladin" raised to 230,000 from under the gun with Q♦J♦ and chip leader Anton Heinrich called from middle positon with A♣10♦. "Alladin" then proceeded with a bet of 405,000 on the flop of 8♣2♣10♠, which Heinrich called.

The turn fell the board-pairing 10♥ and "Alladin" slowed down, opting for a check. In response, Heinrich made it 700,000 to go. "Alladin" made the call and the 3♣ river was dealt to complete the board.

"Alladin" now promptly jammed his stack of 1,600,000 in the middle and a quick call followed from Heinrich.

"Alladin" was forced to show his queen-high bluff, after which Heinrich confidently tabled his trips.

"Alladin" was the first to leave the final table, taking home CHF 4,430 for his efforts. Meanwhile, Heinrich extended his monster chip lead even further.

Symeon Alexandridis Eliminated in 9th Place (CHF 3,230)

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

David Wintersberger opened to 200,000 from under the gun with before Symeon Alexandridis jammed his stack of 610,000 chips in the middle from the small blind. "Kairi" eventually folded the big blind and Wintersberger threw in the call after a quick think.

Symeon Alexandridis: A♣7♠
David Wintersberger: A♠10♣

The flop of 4♥Q♦A♥ gave both players top pair, but Wintersberger's kicker would remain best on the 2♠K♠ runout.

Alexandridis gave some fist bumps around the table before he took his leave. He was the final player to be eliminated before the final table was assembled.

"Braveheart" Eliminated in 10th Place (CHF 2,240)

Frank Visser

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Karim Fick opened to 175,000 from under the gun and Manfred Mueller made the flat call from the button. "Braveheart" was sitting in the big blind and decided to make the shove for 550,000. Fick made the call before Mueller got out of the way.

"Braveheart": K♦8♠
Karim Fick: 9♥9♠

A brave shove by "Braveheart", but the nines were looking good for Fick, and when no king showed its face on 6♦Q♠4♦6♥8♣, "Braveheart" would be eliminated in 10th place.

The final table bubble is now happening as only eight out of the nine remaining players will have a seat on it.

"83-83" Eliminated in 12th Place and "DG" Eliminated in 11th place (CHF 2,240)

Frank Visser

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

"83-83" jammed all-in for around 500,000 chips from the cutoff, before "DG" rejammed from the small blind. "Kairi" then made the call from the big blind, covering both players.

"83-83": 9♦10♠
"Dg": K♥Q♥
"Kairi": K♠K♦

A dream spot for "Kairi", while the other two players were at risk to miss out on the final table. The 8♥Q♦10♣ flop brought hopes for both, but the 8♠ turn removed a lot of outs already. When the river came the 6♦ the double bust-out was a fact, and both players said their goodbyes.

Play continues with 10 players, but there is no final table bubble yet, as that will take place when only eight players remain.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kairi	2,900,000 1,380,000	1,380,000
83-83	Busted
DG	Busted
