Niveau 33 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Frederic Marechal raised to 1,000,000 from middle position and Vazha Kometiani shoved for 6,225,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Marechal called.

Vazha Kometiani: A♠K♥ All in
Frederic Marechal: 10♠10♣

If Marechal were to win this flip the remaining eight players would bag up their chips and come back tomorrow to play down to a winner. Kometiani couldn't find any help on the 6♣8♥6♥9♠J♣ runout, meaning Marechal's tens would hold up, and Kometiani was out in ninth.

Niveau 33 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Andreas Krause shoved from the hijack for roughly 7,000,000. Arturo Paduano was seated on the button with around 4,800,000 and slid them across the line, indicating call. After the blinds folded, the cards were revealed.

Arturo Paduano: 10♠10♥ All in
Andreas Krause: Q♥Q♣

Paduano needed the dealer to give him a ten or he would be the bubble boy of the unofficial final table. The flop of Q♦7♠3♠ was not what Paduano needed as Krause improved to top set and could only lose to running spades. The 7♣ turn gave Krause a full house as the inconsequential 5♣ came on the river. Paduano was eliminated in tenth, and the final nine players would join together on the unofficial final table.

Adrian Cazacu Eliminated in 11th Place (€22,850)

Niveau 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Christopher Campisano raised to 800,000 from the cutoff. Adrian Cazacu called from the small blind with just 600,000 behind, and Frederic Marechal defended from the big blind.

The action checked around on the 4♦K♣4♠ flop to see the 7♠ hit the turn. Cazacu shoved for 600,000, Marechal folded, and Campisano snap-called.

Adrian Cazacu: Q♦7♥ All in
Christopher Campisano: K♠K♦

Cazacu was already out of the tournament area before the river card was dealt as he realized he was drawing dead to the flopped boat of Campisano. An irrelevant 4♥ came on the river and the tournament was down to ten players.

Niveau 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Claudio Di Giacomo moved all in for 3,200,000 in the hijack and Frederic Marechal stuck in two towers of chips from the cutoff to force out the rest of the table.

Claudio Di Giacomo: 5♦5♥ All in
Frederic Marechal: 9♠9♦

Marechal spiked a set on the J♦9♣2♥ flop, and Di Giacomo was already drawing dead after the 8♥ turn. The river was the Q♦ and Di Giacomo was sent to the rail in 12th place.

Iman Ghashayar Eliminated in 13th Place (€20,280)

Niveau 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

When it folded to Frederic Marechal in the small blind he moved all in with only Iman Ghashayar to get through in the big blind. Ghashayar looked at his cards and thought it over briefly before making the call for his remaining 7,800,000.

Iman Ghashayar: A♠10♥ All in
Frederic Marechal: A♥8♣

Ghashayar just had to fade an eight to double up. However, the flop of 8♥Q♣J♥ put Marechal ahead with a pair of eights, although Ghashayar did have a straight draw to go along with his ten that he could hit to survive. The J♣ turn and 2♠ river didn't improve Ghashayar and he was sent to the showers in thirteenth place.

Niveau 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Luigi Pignataro raised enough from the button to put Dimitrios Anastasakis and Vazha Kometiani all in and both players folded.

"We have this guy taking a minute every hand and short stacks always doubling up. I speak with a smile. Now we go in peace," Pignataro said to table nemesis Andreas Krause.

"You started the war. We go to the end," Krause replied.

Sebastien Lucina then moved all in from under the gun and Anastasakis called on the button.

Dimitrios Anastasakis: 9♥9♠ All in
Sebastien Lucina: J♠10♣

The board ran out 7♦7♥4♣Q♦2♦ and Anastasaskis' nines held up to earn him the pot. The stacks were counted down and Anastasakis had 2,100,000, with Lucina having him covered by just 5,000.

Lucina was forced all in from the big blind the next hand as Pignataro limped in from middle position and Krause came along from the small blind. Pignataro bet 525,000 on the Q♥9♦10♠ flop and Krause folded K♣9♥.

Sebastien Lucina: 7♦5♠ All in
Luigi Pignataro: K♦5♣

"I know how you play," Krause said to Pignataro, who was ahead with his king-high. The board ran out A♥6♣ and Lucina was sent to the rail.

Niveau 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Xiaohua Yang raised to 800,000 in middle position, Gary Tatavarti moved all in for 5,300,000 in the cutoff, and Yang called.

Gary Tatavarti: A♣6♥ All in
Xiaohua Yang: A♥J♠

Yang had Tatavarti dominated as the K♦3♦2♠K♠ board left open the possibility of a chop heading to the river, but it came A♦ to give both players two pair as Yang's jack-kicker played to send Tatavarti to the rail in 15th place.

The table was still discussing Adrian Cazacu's confrontation with Tatavarti after he had left the table. "He's playing 500-1K, so it doesn't make a difference to him. But for me, that was a big spot in my life," Cazacu said.

Niveau 31 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

With the big blind being absent, Gary Tatavarti bet enough to put Ivan Banic in the small blind all-in. Banic considered his options for a few moments before calling off his stack of 2,150,000.

Ivan Banic: K♥5♥ All in
Gary Tatavarti: 6♣4♣

The 8♦8♣J♦ flop was safe for Banic, even giving him some counterfeit opportunities.

The 6♥ turn, however, paired up Tatavarti, and the Q♥ river could not save Banic from being the first to depart from the final two tables.

Niveau 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Chipleader Frederic Marechal raised to 500,000 in the cutoff. Candido Cappiello then jammed all in for 4,025,000 in the small blind and was quickly called by Marechal.

Candido Cappiello: A♦9♣ All in
Frederic Marechal: A♥J♠

While the 5♦7♠4♦8♠ runout gave Cappiello some extra outs, the J♥ river paired up Marechal for the win.

He eliminated Cappiello in 17th, leaving the remaining 16 players to redraw across two tables.

Niveau 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Alen Sabic raised to 400,000 in the cutoff before Frederic Marechal three-bet to 1,000,000 on the button. Sabic then moved all in for 4,000,000 and Marechal snap-called.

Alen Sabic: 5♣5♠ All in
Frederic Marechal: Q♣Q♠

Sabic had run into Marechal's queens and was at risk of elimination as the flop came J♠8♦4♥. The 7♦ turn gave him some hope with a straight draw, but he missed the 4♦ river and was sent to the rail in 18th place.
