In the last hand of the level, Alexander Hepting raised to 150,000 from under the gun and Filippo Ragone defended the big blind. On the J♣5♦3♠ flop, Ragone checked before calling a bet of 350,000 by Hepting which led them to the 2♣ on the turn. Ragone now led for 425,000 and Hepting moved all-in to get called instantly.
Alexander Hepting: A♣J♠Q♠5♣
Filippo Ragone: 6♦6♣5♠4♥
Ragone's turned straight was up against the two pair and ace-high flush draw of Hepting. The river was the 7♠ and that only improved Ragone to the seven-high straight. Both stacks were counted and the 1,330,000 of the Italian covered by one single big blind.
All remaining nine players are now drawing for their seats on the nine-handed final table.

On the flop of 5♥4♦J♥, Daniel Bang-Ortmann bet 75,000 from the small blind and was met with a raise to 425,000 by Ersin Kanik, who was seated in the hijack. After some tanking, Bang-Ortmann called to see a turn.
When the 2♦ fell on the turn, Bang-Ortmann jammed for Kanik's remaining 25,000, and Kanik quickly called.
Ersin Kanik: A♥A♠Q♣3♥
Daniel Bang-Ortmann: 9♠7♥6♠3♣
Both players turned a straight, but it was Bang-Ortmann's six-high straight that was currently ahead. Kanik had a flush draw, but it bricked on the 8♠ river, meaning he headed to the cashier's desk to collect his payout.
The pot went over to Bang-Ortmann, and the tournament was now on the final table bubble.
