121 players began Day 2, with 61 players making the money, and a minimum cash good for 670 CFH out of the 156,860 CFH prizepool, beating the 150,000 CFH guarantee.
Players such as Ramon Lampert and Stefan Vieli made Day 2 but will have been disappointed not to make the cash.
The bubble eventually burst when Robert Kaggerud busted an opponent. Kaggerud ultimately departed in 17th place.
The knockouts came at a frantic pace after the bubble, with players such as Frank Diekmann and Gordon Paterson all falling by the wayside before the final table.
The final table was set when Mario Fausch was eliminated in 10th place by Boro Skalonja.
The final table will start at 6 p.m on Monday, February 5 with three minutes of the 25,000/50,000, 50,000 big blind ante level left, and will feature 45-minute levels.
