The official final table has been reached. The tournament clock has been stopped so pictures of the 8 remaining players can be taken. They should restart again in about ten to fifteen minutes.
Down to his last 165,000 chips, Day 1a chip leader Rudolf K?ster moved all in first to act and Michal Lubas raised to 300,000. Ulrich Pauls gave it brief consideration and folded, as did all other players on the table.
Rudolf K?ster: 
Michal Lubas: 
"I would have called you, I had queen-jack," Pauls said before the flop fell 
. K?ster was in need of running cards to a straight or flush in order to remain in contention, but it was all over with the 
turn to make the 
river a formality. K?ster takes home �9,290 for his efforts and the official eight-handed final table has now been reached.
