After losing a small blind battle to his neighbor Andras Nemeth, Matthias Eibinger would lose a much bigger one to the former chipleader the next hand.
Xu folded and Eibinger shoved the button. Small blind Nemeth called all in for 980,000 rather quickly. Big blind Pavel Plesuv, with about 755,000 behind after having committed his 40,000 big blind, used three time bank cards before he decided to fold.
Pavel Plesuv jammed on the button for 760,000 over an open from Andras Nemeth to 90,000 and Nemeth snap-called with . Plesuv could only muster but he hit Broadway on the river as rolled off the deck.
The four remaining players return to the PokerStars EPT Prague €50,000 Super High Roller inside the Hilton Hotel at 12:30 with the following chip counts. The action resumes with blinds of 25,000 and 50,000 and a 50,000 big blind ante.
The biggest buy-in event of 2018 PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, the €50,000 Super High Roller, has been whittled to just four combatants, and one man has established himself as the clear favorite.
Austrian pro Matthias Eibinger has about 55 percent of the total chips in play heading into the final day. He's over 100 big blinds with 5,455,000. He's been rocking the super high roller scene with over $4 million in cashes and is coming off of a $50K win in Las Vegas last month for $575,000.
The other three players — Pavel Plesuv (1,600,000), Andras Nemeth (1,445,000) and Liang Xu (1,400,000) — are all about even. Play wrapped for Day 2 after nine levels with the table arrayed thus:

Nemeth spent most of the day in the chip lead after coming in with a big lead, but Eibinger put an end to his hopes for a wire-to-wire crushing performance in the final level of the night, Level 17 (20,000/40,000/40,000).
It was blind versus blind and Eibinger limp-reraised to 560,000 after Nemeth made it 140,000. Nemeth called and then called a flop bet and turn shove with just ace jack high. Eibinger had pocket tens and faded the two overcards on the river to double into a huge lead.
Andras Nemeth lost a huge pot late.
Now, everyone's racing to catch Eibinger while at the same time perhaps eyeing the other similar stacks with hopes of laddering past. Everyone has €220,870 locked up with €653,000 set to be paid to the winner.
That total came courtesy of 40 total entries, of which 12 showed up for the end of late registration at the beginning of Day 2. Many were entries but some fresh faces like Benjamin Pollak and Patrik Antonius as well.
Just six would be paid, with only Charlie Carrel and Luc Greenwood scoring in-the-money finishes after Jan Schwippert busted in seventh following an extended bubble period. Nemeth picked off his reshove, with ace-jack holding against ace-six.
The last four players return at 12:30 p.m. local time to battle it out until a winner emerges. They'll come back to 25,000/50,000/50,000 and with three of the four sitting under 35 big blinds, action should be swift. Come to PokerNews on time to keep following the nosebleed action.
