"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.

All players have taken their seats after a nice photo opportunity and cards are back in the air.
The final table of the THMC Liechtenstein Main Event is officially underway.
The players are on a break of indefinite length while the final table is getting made ready for their arrival.
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.

Daniel Schwitter open-raised from the button before Karim Frick three-bet jammed from the small blind, covering the entire table. Schwitter snap called and the cards went open.
Daniel Schwitter: A♥A♠
Karim Frick: Q♣Q♠
A big preflop cooler, and it would be decided in Schwitter's favor when his aces faded a straight on the board on 4♦6♣7♠5♥6♥. Thus, the chip lead on the table was traded.

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.
