Robert Cowen Eliminated in 2nd Place (€121,000)
Level 23
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel limped the button and Robert Cowen checked to the A♦5♦3♥ flop, on which Cowen opted to check. Kabrhel then bet 100,000 and Cowen check-raised the pot to 610,000 for almost all of his chips. Kabrhel raised over the top and Cowen called off got his remaining stack.
Robert Cowen: A♣10♥7♣5♣ 
Martin Kabrhel: Q♥6♠4♣2♣
Cowen had top two pair, but Kabrhel had the flopped straight.
The J♠ turn changed nothing, and the 7♠ river improved Kabrhel’s straight to end the contest.
Kabrhel celebrated briefly before storming out of the tournament area. Cowen's bid for a repeat victory was cut short and he had to settle for €121,000 in cash as well as his collected bounty prizes.
