Nowhere to hide from Tibor's hot streak

Lady Luck is having a little fun with our final two tables and she has no shortage of love for Tibor Boros, as the chip leader continues to pick up premium hands to put his rivals to the sword.

No sooner had Thomas Merved been eliminated to take us to two tables, than Boros was playing executioner again, knocking out Petr Kučera in 18th.

He wasn't done there. Tomáš Balada shoved his short stack all-in a few hands later and even with fellow Hungarian Andor Faragó making the call for all his chips, Tibor also continued in the pot along with Mariusz Chrusciel.

The flop and turn were both checked, the dealer having flipped 10 7 6 - K, but Tibor led for 35,000 on the river 6. Mariusz made the call with 88, only for Boros to show 56.

Milan Stanislav dropped out in 15th for a €1,700 win, and Stefan Behring was then added to the Boros victim list when his AQ couldn't find the help to beat the Hungarian's 10s.

13 players remain and Boros has around 960,000 chips; very nearly four times the average 287,000 stack and closing in on 30% of the total chips in play.

UPDATE - Overnight chip leader Oldřich Trávníček and popular Fantasy Poker pick Tomáš Straka have both now departed, leaving us two players shy of the final table. Nine players will go to Day 3.

Prize pool reminder: 1st - €30,000; 2nd - €21,300; 3rd - €14,000; 4th - €9,150; 5th - €6,000; 6th - €4,900; 7th - €4,100; 8th - €3,500; 9th - €2,900; 10th-12th - €2,400; 13th-14th - €2000; 15th-16th - €1,700; 17th-18th - €1,500; 19th-21st - €1,350
