We're just awaiting the chip counts, but we can confirm that the following players will be returning tomorrow to battle it out for that €46,474, and, of course, the sparkling PokerNews Cup:
Mark Vos
Runnar Lindepuu
Fedor Los
Marc Naalden
Simon Borg
Farhad Kia
Jan Hlobil
Joseph Buhmann
Salvatore Cundari
Runnar Lindepuu raised to 12,000 from the button, Marc Naalden pushed for what he reported to be "around 121,000" from the big blind and Lindepuu made the call.
With the shorter-stacks from the other table scurrying over like a fat kid in a sweet shop, the hands were laid out on the felt.

Naalden up to 250,000, while once chip leader Lindepuu drops to 347,000.

While this was going on, Peter Linkhorst also busted out. Super-short, he was in with an ace, but was against two opponents and couldn't go the distance.
Mark Naalden in the big blind checked the flop, and then called a 4,000 minimum bet from Farhad Kia.
Come the turn, Naalden checked again, and this time Kia announced all in for 60,000. Naalden took his time. "I'll put a bounty on him," said tablemate Vladislav Bakalov, "A beer."
No beer for Naalden though, as he passed. Bakalov: "This was a bad fold."
I have no idea what it means, but Salvatore Antonino Cundari just ordered everyone to do it as he doubled through courtesy of Peter Linkhorst.
It was the Italian who had opened the action, making it 16,000 to play before calling the all-in push from Linkhorst.
On their backs and it was Linkhorst who had his nose in front, but only just, his braced for a classic coinflip versus the of Cundari.
A board later and it was vamos time, although I still don't know what it means. What ever happened to a good ol' fashioned, "ship mi da monies, bucko, you just go pwned!"
