Hans Thumann and last night's champion Patrik Antonius signed up for the event during the break and Vladimir Troyanovskiy also arrived right before the cards went back in the air. The registration has now officially closed and the official numbers are yet to be confirmed. As it stands there were at least 45 entries including 13 re-entries for the second �25,000 Super High Roller.
The initial raise was already pulled in while the action was on Jean-Noel Thorel, who had squeezed to 300,000. Martin Kabrhel then moved all in for 865,000 in total and Thorel reluctantly called.
Martin Kabrhel:
Jean-Noel Thorel:
After a board of , Kabrhel's queens held up and he doubled, essentially cutting Thorel's stack into half.
The clock was called on Dietrich Fast when facing a river bet by Niall Farrell and the German eventually called to scoop the pot. The very next hand, Fast was in the small blind and simply open-shoved into the big blind of Thomer Pidun. The latter had some 175,000 behind and called it off.
Thomer Pidun:
Dietrich Fast:
The board ran out and the kicker played to eliminate Pidun.
Felipe Ramos opened to 80,000 and Johannes Becker defended his big blind. On the flop, Becker checked and called a bet of 75,000 while the turn was checked through. The river triggered a bet of 275,000 by Becker and Ramos eventually raised it up to 835,000. That proved to be too much for Becker and he sent his cards into the muck.
With 210,000 in the middle and the turn showing , Manig Loeser bet 175,000 out of the small blind. Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind min-raised to 350,000 and Loeser moved all in. Thorel double-checked his cards and folded.
Martin Kabrhel and Christoph Vogelsang have both bitten the bullet and bought in again. Kabrhel is seated at the same table as Felipe Ramos and Jean-Noel Thorel. Vogelsang has joined the table of Joao Simao, Bertrand Grospellier and Renato Nowak.
Philipp Gruissem raised to 70,000 from the under-the-gun position, but Stefan Schillhabel three-bet to 215,000 from the hijack. Koray Aldemir, in the cutoff, peeked at his cards and decided to shove for his remaining 165,000. Action folded back to Gruissem who also folded.

Stefan Schillhabel:
The board ran out - the king on the river saved Aldemir and he doubled up.
Steve O'Dwyer's re-entry brought the field up to 40 entries in total, which includes 11 re-entries, and that means the guaranteed prize pool of �1,000,000 has been reached. Christoph Vogelsang may still opt to fire a second bullet after just running out of chips and Martin Kabrhel has been hovering around the tournament area, too.
