Jan-Eric Schwippert opened to 3,000,000 under the gun, and action folded to Ronald Steinmetz in the big blind, who three-bet jammed with the slightly covering stack. Schwippert quickly called it off.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: 7?7? All in
Ronald Steinmetz: 9?9?

Schwippert was in trouble versus Steinmetz's overpair, and the K?4?8?6?K? runout confirmed his exit, Steinmetz taking the pot with a better two pair, kings and nines.

Steinmetz celebrated enthusiastically when the river hit, hitting the table and shouting "Yes!"

Grzegorz Kozieja opened to 800,000 from the button and Christophe Pommier defended from the big blind.

The flop came Q?4?2? and both players checked leading to the 8? turn. Pommier shoved with a covering stack and Kozieja called off with his remaining stack of roughly 4,000,000, putting himself at risk.

Grzegorz Kozieja: Q?Q? All in
Christophe Pommier: Q?10?

Both players had connected with the board but Kozieja was well ahead with top set against Pommier's top pair and flush draw. That all changed when the 6? came in on the river resulting in Kozieja's elimination in brutal fashion while Pommier took down a sizable pot.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Berthold Winz limped under the gun, as did Christophe Pommier, Ronald Steinmetz and Jan-Eric Schweppert, while Grzegorz Kozieja checked his option in the big blind.

On the 10?8?8? flop, action was checked to Steinmetz, who fired out a bet of 800,000. Kozieja check-jammed for 1,850,000, and Steinmetz snap-called.

Grzegorz Kozieja: 5?2? All in
Ronald Steinmetz: 8?6?

Kozieja needed to hit his flush draw versus Steinmetz's flopped trip eights, and while the 4? turn was a brick, the 3? rolled off on the river to give Kozieja the flush and the double-up.

In a preflop blind on blind confrontation Anton Kraous was all in from the big blind for his last 1,600,000 and up against Berthold Winz in the small blind who covered him.

Anton Kraous: K?4? All in
Berthold Winz: A?A?

Kraous was drawing very thin against Winz' aces and couldn't catch up on the 7?10?9?8?2? runout, resulting in his elimination in sixth place while Winz, who has eliminated three out of four players at the final table so far, dragged in yet another pot.

Cedric Schwaederle jammed for 3,600,000 from the button, and Christophe Pommier three-bet jammed with the slightly covering stack in the small blind.

However, the action wasn't finished there as Ronald Steinmetz in the big blind, who covered both players, moved his chips into the middle.

Cedric Schwaederle: 10?9? All in
Christophe Pommier: Q?Q? All in
Ronald Steinmetz: 9?9?

Pommier looked in great shape for a near triple up and it was confirmed by the K?Q?3?5?7? runout with Pommier flopping middle set. Schwaerdle headed for the exits, while Pommier took a chunk out of Steinmetz.

All remaining players are now guaranteed a six-figure payday.
