With the departure of Vlado Sevo in 9th place, the official final table was set to conclude the tournament for the night.
The Action of the Day
A total of 62 hopefuls had survived the two starting days and returned to collect a min-cash of at least €1,150. Within the first two hours of play, the field of contenders was already cut into more than half. Eldabach dominated the early stages but then lost a huge pot to Zerjav before sending the remaining chips over to his table neighbour from Slovenia shortly after.
Krzysztof Magott first cracked aces to join the big stacks before he "gambled too much" and failed to repeat the same feat and bowed out against Beckers. In the meanwhile, Dutchman Peters was leading the pack by some margin thanks to hitting a royal flush and then flopping the nuts against Zerjav's naked aces in a four-bet pot.
Peters was unable to keep the momentum going but he found a late double when short-stacked to retain his chances at a maiden bracelet. Kabrhel will be aiming for his third WSOP gold bracelet at King's Resort, he also has five WSOP Circuit rings to his name as well that he all earned on home soil.
Players from seven different countries will be battling for the top prize of €59,250 and live poker's most coveted hardware. They will be back at 6pm local time to play down to a winner and the PokerNews live reporting team will publish all updates according to the cards-up coverage.
