Michael Rocco raised to 160,000 from early position, as he had done a couple of times on the bubble with great success. Big blind Leonard Maue made the call, and the pair saw a flop of 7♠J♣2♥.
Maue checked and Rocco fired a continuation-bet of 80,000. Maue then responded with a raise to 225,000 and Rocco swiftly folded his hand, marking the first hand the chip leader had lost since the start of hand-for-hand play.
The tournament is now hand for hand, with players looking to avoid elimination on the bubble.
The top 14 players will earn €41,610.
Diego Zeiter opened shoved from early position for 485,000 and Orpen Kisacikoglu made the call to his left. The rest of the table folded, leaving Zeiter at risk heads up.
Diego Zeiter: Q♣J♣
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♦J♠
Zeiter was dominated and could not improve on the K♥3♦10♦4♣3♥ runout, leaving the tournament with 15 players remaining on the stone bubble as 14 will be paid.

Action folded around to Felipe Ketzer in the small blind, who moved his short stack all in. Michael Rocco asked for a count before making the call.
Felipe Ketzer: K♥7♠
Michael Rocco: A♣2♣
The flop of 3♣8♦10♣ changed nothing, but Ketzer caught a pair on the 7♣ turn. The 6♣ river flipped the hand back to Rocco, hitting a flush to eliminate Ketzer.
That brought the field down to the final 16 players, who are on break while the two table redraw is completed.
Teun Mulder moved all in on the button and was at risk when Martin Kabrhel called in the big blind.
Teun Mulder: K♣9♠
Martin Kabrhel: A♥3♠
Kabrhel found a straight on the 5♦6♥9♥4♠7♥ runout, bringing an end to Mulder's run.
Ren Lin went all in for 690,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind, who was the only one to make the call.
Ren Lin: A♣8♣
Martin Kabrhel: K♠Q♠
Lin paired his ace on the Q♥A♦J♥ flop, but the 10♠ turn made Kabrhel his straight. Lin called for "King Gaga" to appear on the river, but the 4♦ came instead, cementing his elimination.
James Chen opened to 200,000 with 5♥5♦ from early position and called when Tamas Adamszki three-bet to 430,000 holding A♠K♦in the cutoff.
Chen checked the 10♠A♣Q♠ flop, where Adamszki continued for 320,000.
Chen did not take long to muck his hand, as Adamszki got some chips back.
Patrik Jaros shoved and was quickly at risk when Martin Kabrhel called on the button.
Patrik Jaros: J♦10♦
Martin Kabrhel: A♦10♠
