Berthold Winz opened to 800,000 from the hijack and Bernat Carreras three-bet shoved for 1,600,000 from the cutoff. Winz called with a covering stack to put Carreras at risk.
Bernat Carreras: 8?8?
Berthold Winz: A?K?
Things were looking good for Carreras on both the 3?2?10? flop and 7? turn but the A? river gave Winz top pair to take the pot while Carreras became the first final table casualty.

Following the successful return of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in Las Vegas last year, PokerStars announced in May that the NAPT will return to Resorts World, Las Vegas, this November for another ten-day poker extravaganza.
The series is highlighted by the NAPT Las Vegas Main Event, which has a $5,300 buy-in. Last year's champion, Sami Bechahed, topped the 1,095-entry field and took home a substantial $268,945.
For those who missed out last year or looking to have a second bite of the cherry, you'll be pleased to know that you can secure your seat in the Main Event for a fraction of the buy-in.
The final 9 players are now on a 60-minute dinner break, with play resuming at approximately 8:15 p.m. local time.
Grzegorz Kozieja shoved from the small blind and Weiran Pu, who had 2,325,000 in the big blind and was covered, made the call.
Weiran Pu: K?Q?
Grzegorz Kozieja: 5?3?
The board ran out A?9?J?6?10? giving Kozieja a flush to send Pu to the rail on the final table bubble.

Action folded to Hugues Girard in the small blind, who completed, with Steinmetz checking his option.
The 9?7?2? flop was checked through, as was the 2? turn. On the Q? river, Girard check-called a bet of 680,000, but was shown the bad news when Steinmetz showed A?2? for the turned trip deuces.

Action folded to Bernat Carreras who moved all in from the small blind for around 1,300,000 chips. Hugues Girard defended the big blind and the players flipped their cards.
Bernat Carreras: Q?7?
Hugues Girard: Q?4?
Carreras was at risk and the shortest stack of those remaining.
Both players missed on the 3?9?3? flop, 3? turn and 8? river. With trips on board, neither players' kicker played and they chopped the pot.
