Level 41 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Erik van Hulst shoved all in for 10,000,000 from the button and Michal Schuh snap-called from the big blind.

Erik van Hulst: K♣4♥ All in
Michal Schuh: A♣J♦

Schuh was a runout away from becoming a WSOP champion and didn't need to wait long to secure it as the flop of A♦7♦A♠ gave him trips, which left Van Hulst drawing dead. The meaningless runout of 3♦9♣ was just a formality, and Van Hulst had to settle for second.

Georgios Tsouloftas shoved for 625,000 from the button and both Erik van Hulst & Michal Schuh called from the blinds.

Schuh showed 10♥8♥ for the nut straight, and Tsouloftas mucked his A♠5♣.

Paul Runcan shoved for 2,200,000 from the small blind and Georgios Tsouloftas called in the big blind.

Paul Runcan: J♣5♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: Q♠J♦

Runcan needed a five to stick around but never found it as the 7♠2♣9♦J♠A♥ runout meant he was eliminated in fourth.

Level 38 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Michal Schuh raised to 1,300,000 under the gun and called Vito Branciforte's all-in, who had jammed 4,275,000 from the big blind.

Vito Branciforte: A♣Q♣ All in
Michal Schuh: A♥J♠

Branciforte took a commanding lead on the 9♦3♣Q♠ flop. However, his pair of queens would be beaten when Schuh made a runner-runner straight on the 10♣8♠ runout to eliminate Branciforte in fifth.

Tomas Krivsky shoved from the button for 4,350,000 and Michal Schuh snap-called from the big blind.

Tomas Krivsky: A♣Q♦ All in
Michal Schuh: A♠K♥

Krivsky entered the final table last in chips and managed to ladder his way up a few of the payouts, but his run came to an end as the 10♥2♣3♣6♦J♥ board left his Little Slick unimproved.

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Pascal Pflock jammed in his stack of 2,075,000 from the cutoff and was looked up by Erik van Hulst in the big blind.

Pascal Pflock: 10♥8♥ All in
Erik van Hulst: A♣7♠

Van Hulst paired his ace on the 5♣K♠A♠ flop. Pflock turned some hope with the 8♠, but the 3♣ river could not save him as he took his exit in seventh.

Mousa Awad: A♥K♦ All in
Michal Schuh: 10♥10♦

Schuh flopped Awad nearly dead when made a set on 10♣3♦9♦ The 6♠ turn sealed Awad's fate as the eight-place finisher, and he said his goodbyes as the 4♠ came on the river.

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hong Pham open-jammed as first to act, putting her stack of 4,250,000 at risk. Vito Branciforte called in the big blind before the rest of the table mucked their cards.

Hong Pham: A♦Q♠ All in
Vito Branciforte: A♠A♣

The 4♥8♠5♣ flop was of no help to Pham, but the Q♥ turn provided her a glimmer of hope. Ultimately, though, Branciforte's aces held as the 6♦ arrived on the river.

Pham was the first to depart from the final table, pocketing €24,750 for her ninth place.

Andrea Ricci Eliminated in 10th Place (€21,650)

Kai Cocklin

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas shoved from the small blind and Andrea Ricci called for his stack of 3,700,000 in the big blind.

Andrea Ricci: Q♦9♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: K♣5♣

Ricci had gone from joint chip leader just moments ago to now being at risk and behind.

The flop of 9♣8♦3♠ gave Ricci top pair but the K♥ saw him fall behind with just one card to come. No help arrived on the 3♣ river, which meant Ricci was eliminated in tenth.
