Leonard Maue raised to 200,000 from the hijack with 9♠9♣ and Gab Yong Kim made the call from the big blind with A♦6♥.
Maue made a continuation-bet of 100,000 on the 3♥J♣4♣ flop, which Kim check-called. The turn then fell the 5♦ and Kim checked again. Maue used one time bank extension before opting to check back.
The 2♦ river completed Kim's straight, but he opted to play it slow and checked to Maue, however, the latter checked back. Kim tabled his hand and raked in the pot, leaving Maue with less than ten big blinds.
Martin Kabrhel opened to 200,000 on the button holding K♠8♠ before Daniel Dvoress slid out a three-bet to 600,000 with A♦Q♠ in the small blind.
Kabrhel called to see the 6♦7♠2♦ flop, where Dvoress led out for 450,000. Kabrhel took some time and checked his cards before sliding his cards into the muck.

Jerry Odeen raised to 200,000 from early position before Niklas Astedt put out a three-bet to 475,000 from the button. The action folded back to Odeen, who put in the call.
The flop fell 3♥3♠9♥, and Odeen checked to Astedt, who continued for 250,000. Odeen then shoved all in for 1,800,000 and Astedt immediately called to put the Swedish player at risk.
Jerry Odeen: A♥J♥
Niklas Astedt: K♠K♥
Odeen's flush draw was nullified when Astedt filled up on the 3♣ turn, making the 6♦ river meaningless as Odeen's elimination was already set in stone on the turn.
Odeen was the first player to leave the final table, leaving the eight remaining players on the official final table.
Martin Kabrhel raised to 200,000 from early position before Tamas Adamszki shoved his final 310,000 in the middle from the button. Michael Rocco also came along from the big blind, but his plan was thwarted when Kabrhel put in a four-bet to 950,000 to force the American out, leading to a heads up showdown.
Tamas Adamszki: K♦10♠
Martin Kabrhel: 10♥7♥
Adamszki had a big lead, and it only grew when he paired his king on the A♦8♠K♥ flop. The Q♥ turn left Kabrhel with some outs, but the 3♣ river failed to deliver them, resulting in a triple up for the short-stacked Adamszki.

The players are on a 15-minute break while the final table is being set up.
Michael Rocco raised to 240,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Tamas Adamszki in the big blind, who defended. Admaszki then check-called Rocco's 350,000 bet on the 9♦5♦7♣ flop before he checked again on the 9♠ turn.
Rocco bet again, this time for 475,000, and Adamszki followed with another call. The 7♠ river double-paired the board and Adamszki checked for a third time.
Rocco spent some time in the tank before coming out with a massive bet of 2,200,000, almost enough to put Adamszki all-in. Adamszki threw off his glasses and slid forward his time bank extensions, but ultimately made the call before he had to use one.
Rocco showed K♣9♣ for nines full, and it bested Adamszki's A♥7♥ for sevens full. Adamszki headed to the final table with just over three big blinds, while Rocco had nearly 100 at his disposal.
