Anthony Mahaut opened to 35,000 first-to-act and David Taborsky shoved for his last 256,000 from early position. Rostyslav Sabishchenko also went all in for around 600,000 from the hijack and action folded back around to Mahaut, who called to put both players at risk.

David Taborsky: QQ
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: KK
Anthony Mahaut: AA

It was a clash of the three best hands in Hold'em. The board ran out A4375 — needlessly improving Mahaut's aces to a set for the double elimination.

Since Taborsky was the shortest stack, he was eliminated in 261st place and Sabishchenko secured a min-cash of €1,880.

"Why Are You Bluffing Me?"

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a board of 3410A3 with approximately 115,000 chips in the pot, Nathan Jones in the big blind bet 350,000. In front of him, Martin Kabrhel in the cutoff went into the tank, as talkative as always. "How much is it? 350,000? I don't have it," he said.

While all the tables were waiting to start a new hand, Kabrhel took his time. "Why are you bluffing me? What do you want? Be honest," he asked again. "You will make the right decision," answered Jones.

After a few minutes, Jones called the clock. "You want it?" Kabrhel kept saying during the 30 seconds he had left while showing his stack. But he couldn't make a decision, so his cards went into the muck.

Yang Runs Kings Into Aces to Set Up the Bubble

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Guodong Yang was already all in for around 150,000 as Martino Cito and Michele Fratini built a side pot on a flop of 539. Fratini then moved all in for 500,000 in middle position.

Yang began posing for photos as Cito tanked for a minute before mucking, later saying he had two jacks. Yang and Fratini waited for other tables to finish their hands before turning over their cards.

Guodong Yang: KK
Michele Fratini: AA

Yang had run into the ultimate cooler as the board ran out 96 to send him out two spots off the money.

Play is now going hand-for-hand until there is one more elimination.

Full Over Flush for Krause

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Cards went on their backs preflop between Rene Heinricher, at risk with approximately 165,000 chips in middle position, and Andreas Krause in the big blind.

Rene Heinricher: A8
Andreas Krause: KK

Heinricher's chair felt as he stood up on the flop 9K6, which gave him a flush draw but handed a set to Krause. Then the Q on the turn didn't change anything.

"Yes!" finally shouted Heinricher when a fourth spade landed on the river. However, he didn't realize that it was the Q, which improved Krause's set into a full house.

When he finally realized he lost, Heinricher left the tournament area as he was eliminated.
