Joep van den Bijgaart, dwindling but seemingly indestructable, moved in when it passed to him on the small blind for 1,035,000. Big blind Max Heinzelmann found an

and duly called. Van den Bijgaart showed 
too and after the formality of the 
board they chopped it up.

In the sense that it's the final table going on break. But you never know, 75 minutes might be all they need...
Back in 15 minutes.
Max Heinzelmann raised on the button and Vadzim Kursevich called in the big blind to see a flop.
Flop: 
Kursevich checked to Heinzelmann, who bet a rather modest 115,000. Kursevich called and they saw the turn.
Turn: 
Again, Kursevich checked. This time the bet from Heinzelmann was 245,000. Once more, a call.
River: 
Kursevich checked for a third time. Heinzelmann now bet a decidedly chunky 480,000, and this finally proved too much for Kursevich. He folded, and Heinzelmann is back up to 2.5 million.
Ben Wilinofsky has managed to keep conversation flowing at most of the tables he's visited throughout the four preceding days. Today, however, the inevitable pressure of the business end of the tournament has brought more reserve to the table, and the Canadian lamented, "Am I going to have to keep up a monologue the whole time? Come on, someone talk!"
"They have commentators," someone deadpanned.
"Oh. We give them something to riff off... I'm good at saying stupid stuff so they should have plenty of material."
Jonas Gutteck moved all-in from the small blind for 670,000 and Max Heinzelmann snapped quicker than Nicolas Cage in most Nicolas Cage films.
Gutteck: 
and in a world of pain because...
Heinzelmann: 
The flop came and Heinzelmann flopped a set but Gutteck picked up a gutshot to actually give himself a chance. The turn was the 
making quads for Heinzelmann and Gutteck began to pack his bags and shake hands as the dealer put out the 
river.
Gutteck takes home �66,000 for his efforts today, everyone else now makes six figures in Euros.
Unusually, an under the gun raise (from Wilinofsky) received interest from three other players, two in position and one out. This hand, showing so much promise, ended up stalling on the flop (
) when Martin Jacobson ventured a 275,000 bet.

Another check-raise on the flop with no hole cards shown now, as Ben Wilinofsky opened to 125,000 and the now rather short-stacked Max Heinzelmann called in the cutoff to see a 
flop. Wilinofsky checked and Heinzelmann bet 130,000. But Wilinofsky announced, "I raise," in an ominous deadpan, and made it 365,000 to go. Heinzelmann folded and is down to 1.4 million. Wilinofsky is at over 10 million, almost half the chips in play.
