Jan-Willem Nijmeijer Eliminated in 24th Place (€35,600)
After losing all but the last 20,000 in chips right before that, Ivan Tikhov used all of his remaining time banks and then folded. Catalin Pop limped the small blind, and Max Neugebauer checked in the big blind. On the 9♣8♣4♦ flop, both checked and Neugebauer bet the 3♠ turn for 120,000 for Pop to check-fold.
Bastian Gallitzendoerfer won the next blinds with a raise to 150,000.
In the very next hand, Marco Di Persio raised to 120,000 first to act and Gallitzendoerfer three-bet to 500,000 in the next seat. It folded all the way to Jan-Willem Nijmeijer in the small blind, and he glanced at his cards, then grabbed all of his time bank extensions that he had left to spread them out.
Nijmeijer had nine of them and chatted with Neugebauer, who jokingly said to leave at least one behind. Nijmeijer ended up using six before he pushed all in for just shy of a million. During the hand, Daniel Pidun in the big blind wanted to leave the seat because his ordered food had arrived, but had to wait for it as the very long hand was still dragging out.
Pidun then folded, as did Di Persio, while Gallitzendoerfer called the shove.
Jan-Willem Nijmeijer: Q♥Q♦ 
Bastian Gallitzendoerfer: A♠Q♠
The A♣J♠10♥ flop vaulted Gallitzendoerfer into the lead, and he then further improved to trips with the A♦ turn to leave his opponent drawing to a chop only with any of the four kings in the deck. Nothing changed with the 4♣ river, and Nijmeijer bowed out in 24th place for €35,600 while Tikhov on the same table secured the pay jump to €43,000 with a third of a big blind.
