Patrik Antonius made it 750,000 to go on the button and Joao Simao called in the small blind. Stefan Schillhabel in the big blind moved all in for 2.45 million and Antonius folded, Simao quickly called.

Stefan Schillhabel: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Joao Simao: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The German rail behind Schillhabel started to move slightly closer to the table in order to see the showdown and sighed when the flop came {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Schillhabel needed an eight or seven to remain in contention, but the blank {6-Spades} turn and {3-Clubs} river sent him to the rail in 4th place for �125,000.

Dietrich Fast

After having posted the full button ante worth 250,000, Dietrich Fast moved all in for what appeared to be 3.4 million and Renato Nowak in the big blind asked for a brief count before making the call.

Dietrich Fast: {K-Spades}{2-Spades}
Renato Nowak: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board of {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades} provided no help for Fast and he had already gathered his belongings before the turn and river fell. For his 6th place finish, Fast picks up a payday of �75,000 while all five remaining players have now locked up �100,000.
