The very next all-in showdown on the outer tables only took a few moments more and this time it was Kenneth Heinsvig who pushed all-in for around 250,000. He was quickly called by Rene Kuhlman and they were off to the races.
Kenneth Heinsvig:
Rene Kuhlman:
The 
flop improved Kuhlman to the superior pair while the turn provided a gutshot on top for Heinsvig. However, the river only paired the board and the field was reduced to the final 17 contenders, also ensuring a pay jump to €4,230.
