Luis Faria:
Meran was miles ahead with his pair of queens but received an extra sweat on the turn when the hit the felt. Faria needed a nine of heart to end Meran's run in the National and did just that as the rolled off on the river. Meran finished in 43rd place and received €9,500.
Also recently departed from the Day 3 field is the U.K.'s Alex Lindop, who also banked €9,500.
