German duo report to the rail

A frenetic spell has seen two more eliminations in the last few minutes, as German pair Salim Alibas and Bernd Wachter could hold out no more.

Wachter seemed certain to be the 6th-place finisher after being left with barely a chip and a chair after clashing with Radoslav Průcha, but it was his compatriot who would have to settle for the €4,900 prize.

Back-to-back defeats to the previously quiet Mariusz Chrusciel saw Alibas (pictured) exit having struggled with a short stack for much of Day 3.

First he had shoved with A7 from the button, only for his Polish rival to wake up with AK, and when the dominant hand held, Salim had less than two bbs remaining.

He shipped on the following hand, Chrusciel and Wachter calling from the blinds and checking the distance. Chrusciel's TPMK was good.

That left Bernd as the man expected to commit his chips and though he trebled up with A♣6♥, his night was soon over when he dared to call Boros with K2.

Even with his well-stacked opponent a big dog with 4♠2♠, the Hungarian's apparent destiny intervened again.

The dealer flipped a 4 on the flop and Boros' chip tower grew to around 2,100,000 - around two thirds of the total chips. Wachter wins €6,000.

Prize pool reminder: 1st - €30,000; 2nd - €21,300; 3rd - €14,000; 4th - €9,150.
