Katja Maria Schneider: J♥J♦
Ditaranto won the flip when the board ran out 10♣3♦8♥A♣6♥ and thus survived the first hand of the bubble.

The stone bubble has arrived with 90 players still in the field.
"Impero" was one of the last players to bust before the bubble. They could not double their 134,000 stack with A♦3♦ against the A♠7♠ of Ramon Lampert, as the latter would win the preflop confrontation on K♠4♥5♠7♥10♦.

Thomas Hardt had opened from early position and Roberto Gerosa jammed 84,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Hardt, who made the call with the covering stack.
Roberto Gerosa: J♥9♥
Thomas Hardt: 7♣7♥
Gerosa sprung ahead on the K♦8♦9♣ flop, but Hardt rebinked on the 7♠ turn. The 6♦ river did not bring a straight for Gerosa and he was eliminated as only 93 players still remain, with 89 being paid.

Roger Heim and "Champion1905" had arrived on the flop of 9♣J♣K♠ when Heim made a bet of 38,000 from under the gun. "Champion1905" then shoved all-in for 151,000 from the button and Heim made the call after an exact count.
"Champion1905": K♦J♦
Roger Heim: 8♣7♣
"Champion1905" stood up with a huge sigh while gesturing at the table. They must have felt what was coming, because the 3♣ completed Heim's flush draw, while the 8♥ did not fill up "Champion1905".
Heim won a big pot and is playing more than half a million in chips as around 100 players remain.

Daniel Garrido had shoved for 65,000 chips from the hijack and Daniel Schwitter in the big blind was weighing his options. Schwitter, who had known a first good level and increased his stack significantly, eventually made the call, and turned over his cards with a dash of shame.
Daniel Garrido: A♥K♥
Daniel Schwitter: 9♥3♠
Testing his luck, Schwitter decided to go with it holding a less-than-ideal hand. He would not be rewarded when the board ran out 7♦2♣4♣7♣J♥, and Garrido raked in the double-up with a sigh of relief.
