Tournament director Kenny Hallaert has enforced a soft hand-over-hand as we play towards the final table. Play will resume as normal, but all-ins will be held off until the other table has completed the action.
If players bust out on two different tables at the same time, they will split the 9th and 10th place prize money.
Manuel Bardon open-shoved 605,000 from late position. It was folded to Rauno Tahvonen in the big blind, who snap-called after looking at his cards.

and Bardon check-called a bet of 125,000.
The

On the river, Bardon checked a third time. Kuznetsov sized out a value bet of 400,000 and Bardon snap-called. Kuznetsov showed the nuts, but Bardon quickly showed as well thinking his hand was good. After a short moment, the Spaniard realised he had lost and shipped 400k over to the Russian.
