Play or Not; Talks About How Long to Play For
- Renato Nowak raised to 350,000 from the button and was called by Patrik Antonius in the big blind. The flop came 
, Antonius check-called the 400,000 bet of Nowak. They both checked through the 
on the turn and the 
on the river. Nowak tabled 
and that was enough for Antonius to muck his hand.
- Nowak raised to 350,000 again but now from the cutoff and was called by Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind. They both checked through the whole 
board. Nowak showed 
for two pair, tens and fours and now O'Dwyer mucked his hand.
Dietrich Fast and Stefan Schillhabel asked the floor again how long they would continue playing for today. The floor confirmed that they would play till at least 6 players were left. Then it would be up to the player to discuss what they wanted to do. Nowak asked what was said and they explained it to him. Nowak made it clear that he just wanted to continue playing until the winner was known.
Antonius asked what was said as the discussion was in German. The floor confirmed the situation again and Antonius seemed a bit miffed. Fast then clarified that they didn't have to play down to a winner tonight. Anything could be discussed at any time after the final 6 players have been reached. If anyone was tired and they were three-handed. they could still decide to continue to play tomorrow. Antonius seemed to be satisfied with that.
