Christian Schneider Eliminated in 10th Place (€5,000) and Kevin Fluegel Eliminated in 9th Place (€6,355)
Kevin Fluegel opened to 240,000 from the cutoff, and received a call from Rene Schnitzler on the button. Short-stack Christian Schneider was in the big blind, and he called, leaving himself 180,000 behind.
On the 9♦6♦3♥ flop, action was checked to Schnitzler, who fired out a bet of 375,000. Schneider moved all in for his 180,000, before Fluegel responded with a raise to 1,200,000, leaving himself almost nothing behind. Schnitzler immediately rejammed and Fluegel called off.
Christian Schneider: K♦2♦ 
Kevin Fluegel: 10♥10♦
Rene Schnitzler: J♥9♥
Fluegel was ahead with his overpair tens, while Schneider had a flush draw, and Schnitzler had top pair nines.
The 5♠ turn was a brick, but the 9♠ hit on the river to give Schnitzler trip nines and a double knockout, setting a final table of eight.
A short break will take place while the final table is prepared.
