The final table provides an interesting combination of players. Chip leader Alex Goulder is good friends with Steve Watts, who won the WPT National in Marbella earlier this year. His biggest cashes comes from a win at the Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham and a runner-up finish in the Estrellas Poker Tour in Barcelona this August.

Simeon Naydenov has won a bracelet at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and Sebastian Langrock scored a payday of €1 million in the German version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire". Chris Hunichen is known to most for his online scores as "Big Huni" and has recorded more than $6 million in cashes online.

Zo Karim is second in chips and boasts $957,332 in cashes according to his Hendon Mob profile, Alexander Lakhov has even more than that with $1,619,683. The Russian won the WPT Cyprus this year and came second to Marcin Wydrowski in 2012 here in Prague. Andy Seth's biggest score was for $521,200 when the American finished second to McLean Karr at the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Stars in 2010.

Niclas Adolfsson is the wild card on today's final table with $237,329 in cashes. The Swede is the shortest stack but one double up would bump him into the top five of the overall counts.

Jonathan Klüpfel Eliminated in 9th Place (€10,300)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jonathan Klüpfel
Jonathan Klüpfel

Jonathan Klüpfel raised to 28,000 from the cutoff and was called by Alex Goulder in the big blind. On the {3-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} flop, Goulder bet 40,000 and Klüpfel raised to 82,000. The Brit clicked it back to 200,000 and Klüpfel moved all in. Goulder wasted not much time before calling off with the superior stack and the two players turned over their cards:

Klüpfel: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Goulder: {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

The {4-Clubs} on the turn immediately completed the flush for Goulder and Klüpfel was drawing dead. Adding to the misery was the {9-Clubs} on the river, even giving Goulder a straight flush! The German receives €10,300 for his 9th place finish and all remaining eight players now fill out the bio sheets before taking a short break and then moving to the feature table.

Naydenov Takes from Seth

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Simeon Naydenov raised from the button for 30,000 and Andy Seth called to see the flop of {6-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {4-Spades}. Both players checked, Seth then check-called a bet after the {4-Clubs} turn. Naydenov bet again on the {J-Hearts} river for 81,000 and was paid off by Seth, who mucked when the Bulgarian showed {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

Mathias Kürschner Eliminated in 10th Place (€7,500)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Mathias Kürschner
Mathias Kürschner

Mathias Kürschner raised to 25,000 from under the gun and Alex Goulder three-bet from a few seats over. All opponents folded and then Kürschner announced to "play all his chips". Goulder snap-called and it was yet another classic coin flip for the tournament life.

Kürschner: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Goulder: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

There was no help for the German with the board running out {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {10-Hearts} and the field has been reduced to the last nine players. Once that becomes eight, play will be stopped for a short break and everyone will then get moved to the feature table for the live stream. Kürschner receives €7,500 for his efforts.

Sebastian Langrock raised from early position and called the all in of Salvatore Pepi on the button.

Pepi: {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Langrock: {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

The Italian already grabbed his belongings after the {8-Hearts} {10-Spades} {A-Hearts} flop was revealed and he would not improve anymore with the {7-Clubs} turn and the {10-Clubs} river as final community cards. Pepi receives a payday of €7,500 and the action is now frozen to do the redraw of the unofficial final table

One for Naydenov

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On table 80, Niclas Adolfsson raised from the button to 24,000 and folded to a three-bet of Zo Karim for 78,000.

Table 81 offered slightly more excitement with a raise of Alexander Lakhov to 25,000 and calls from Simeon Naydenov on the button and Jonathan Klüpfel in the small blind. The {6-Hearts} {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} flop was checked through, Naydenov then bet 48,000 and only Lakhov check-called. The {3-Spades} on the river saw the Russian checking again and Naydenov took down the pot with a second barrel.

Pots for Langrock and Goulder

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On the river of a {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades} board, Chris Hunichen bet 64,000 and Sebastian Langrock called with {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}. Hunichen only had {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} and the pot was shipped to the German.

Alex Goulder raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and then called the three-bet of Niclas Adolfsson to 48,000 from the button-seat. On the {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flop, the Brit bet 65,000 and that won the pot.
