Marius Gierse had previously forfeited his blinds and dropped to around 320,000. Markus Durnegger raised and Gierse moved all in from the button, which the Austrian quickly called.
Marius Gierse:
Markus Durnegger:
"Do you have ace ten?" Durnegger asked and Sam Grafton pointed out it was ace-ten. "Off suit?" Durnegger continued and chuckled, as did Gierse. On the 
flop, Gierse was drawing to runner runner outs only and he tapped the table in defeat, his elimination in 15th place was official as soon as the 
fell on the turn. A meaningless 
river completed the board and Gierse headed to the payout desk.

Pascal Hartmann opened the button and big blind Luis Rodriguez Cruz called. Rodriguez Cruz checked on 
and Hartmann bet 120,000. Rodriguez Cruz check-raised to 450,000 soon enough and Hartmann called.
The hit the turn and Rodriguez Cruz shoved for a massive 1,450,000. Hartmann ran his first clock down and automatically used a time bank card to think it over. With a couple of seconds to spare, he eventually called.
Luid Rodriguez Cruz:
Pascal Hartmann:
Hartmann needed a queen, five or four to eliminate his opponent but instead the useless 
came off and Hartmann was left with just 25,000.
After anteing 5,000, he committed his spare 20,000 after a raise by Oliver Weis. Jakub Michalak in the big blind called as well.
Michalak check-called 60,000 on but check-folded to Weis' 110,000 bet on the turn.
Oliver Weis:
Pascal Hartmann:
The river 
was of no importance anymore as Hartmann was already drawing dead on the turn.
