Maximilian Senft Eliminated in 7th Place (€36,870)
Level 25: 15,000-30,000, 5,000 ante
Morten Christensen raises to 60,000 and Maximilian Senft moves all-in for around 800,000. The action folds around to Christensen and he really is going through the mill. He eventually makes the call and as it transpires it is not a good decision.
Christensen: J
J
Senft: K
K
It is Senft who is at risk of elimination, but he has Christensen dominated.
Flop: Q J 3
You can hear the anguish from the crowd as the jack peels off and pushes Christensen into the lead.
Turn: 7 & River 3
So Maximilian Senft becomes our 7th place finisher - the final table bubble boy - and the action stops with 17 minutes of Level 25 remaining.

A Puzzled Wilinofsky
Level 25: 15,000-30,000, 5,000 ante
Ben Wilinofsky raises to 60,000 on the button and Morten Christensen defends his big blind before both players check the flop of Q 9 7.
Turn: A
Christensen checks, Wilinofsky bets 70,000, Christensen check-raises to 220,000 and Wilinofsky calls.
River: 7
Christensen bets 320,000 and it creates a puzzled look not he face of Wilinofsky who, after some hand gesturing, mucks his cards.
"You will tell me that what after right?" Wilinofsky asks.
Christensen ~ 1,350,000
Wilinofsky ~ 2,000,000

Tolokno Doubles Through Mutke
Level 25: 15,000-30,000, 5,000 ante
If you ever wonder how tight players manage to get paid off then read on.
Ben Wilinofsky raises to 60,000 in early position, Manuel Mutke three-bets to 140,000 in the cutoff and Konstantin Tolokno moves all-in from the small blind for 625,000. This is only the second hand that Tolokno has played in the past three or four levels so he must have AA, KK, QQ or AK only. Wilinofsky folds but Mutke makes the call with 3 3 and Tolokno thinks it's Christmas as he turns over K K.
Board: Q 9 8 4 6
Mutke drops to 650,000 and Tolokno can now return to his book because he now has 1,300,000.

Board: 8 5 5 4 5
Siemsen's hand holds up and he now has 860,000. Mutke, meanwhile, has 1,350,000

Flop: A 8 5

Goswin Seimsen raises to 50,000 under the gun, Morten Christensen calls next door, Norbert Szecsi also calls in the hijack before Ognjen Sekularac gets interested from the small blind. He asks Christensen how much he is playing before three-betting to 172,000. Seimsen folds but Christensen moves all-in causing Szecsi to also fold. Back to Sekularac and he asks for a count and the total is 773,000.
"You show if I fold…my friend?" Sekularac asks Christensen who remains unmoved.
Eventually Sekularac folds and we move on to the next hand.
Christensen ~ 1,030,000
Sekularac ~ 2,370,000
