: 4,000/8,000, 12,000 ante
The money bubble has burst in Event #12: €2,000 8-Game Mix and that sent the final 10 players out of a 61-entry strong field off for the night as they all locked up a portion of the €107,207 prize pool. Ten different countries will be defended, albeit Ole Schemion hails from Germany and relocated to Austria several years ago.
It is also Schemion who leads the ten survivors after he finished 7th in Event #10: €25,000 NLH Platinum High Roller and jumped into the mixed game action shortly thereafter. While not necessarily known to dabble in all eight poker variants on the live poker circuits, he claimed 863,000 in chips after a late surge.
The UK's Artan Dedusha sits in second place with 563,000 in chips and Mikkel Plum (473,000) rounds up the overnight podium. Further notable finalists include Julien Martini, Max Pescatori and Roland Israelashvili. For the latter, it is the fifth cash in as many tournaments during the ongoing festival in Europe's biggest poker arena at the King's Resort in Rozvadov.

The ten contenders for the coveted gold bracelet and top prize of €33,910 will return to their seats at 10 a.m. local time with just over three minutes remaining in level 17.
Notable casualties outside of the money included Anatoly Filatov, defending champion Espen Sandvik, Laszlo Bujtas, Christopher Puetz, Dzmitry Urbanovich, and Dario Alioto.
Close to the money bubble, Sarharib Karatas was eliminated by Schemion and the last player to leave empty-handed was Germany's Thomas Schroepfer. With two all-ins at the same time on different tables, Schroepfer came up short while Winamax Team Pro Borja Gross survived his showdown.
There will be another redraw for the final seven players and all hopefuls have €3,158 locked up for their efforts. Stay tuned for the conclusion of the event as the PokerNews live reporting team will provide all the key hands until a winner has been crowned.

Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 12,000 ante
There were two all-in and call at the same time on different tables and here is how they unfolded.
Omaha Hi-Lo
Mikkel Plum raised from an early position and Borja Gross three-bet jammed for the last 44,000, which Plum called.
Borja Gross: 
Mikkel Plum: 
"You deserve to win this for being so brave and moving all-in on the bubble," Plum said. The board ran out 
and they chopped it up.
Seven Card Stud
Thomas Schroepfer: 
/ 
/ 
Nicolas Bokowski: / 
/ 
Thomas Schroepfer was the bring-in once more and had very few chips left behind. Nicolas Bokowski limped in and the rest of the table folded. On fourth street, Schroepfer called all-in. Bokowski had a ton of equity with his gutshot by then and improved to a superior pair on fifth, then added a flush draw on sixth.
Seventh street brought no improvement to Bokowski but Schroepfer also bricked to bust on the bubble. All remaining ten players are now bagging and tagging for the night.

Nicolas Bokowski:
Julien Martini:
"You deserve the double-up just for that," Martini joked to his opponent for the little lesson in drama. The board ran out 
and Bokowski indeed doubled.
