Both Ramin Hajiyev and Rainer Kempe folded and Jean-Noel Thorel moved all in from the small blind. Adrian Mateos, who had just 320,000 left (3 big blinds) reluctantly made the call.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Adrian Mateos: {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}

The flop brought nothing for anyone with {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, but the {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave Mateos some additional outs. The {10-Diamonds} on the river wasn't one of the cards he needed to hit to stay alive, and the Spanish WSOPE and EPT champion made his exit in 4th place, taking home almost €200,000.

The remaining three players are guaranteed €250,900. Hajiyev suggested they would take a look at the numbers and Thorel at first agreed after the floor translated the request, but seconds later decided he wanted to play.

While Kempe and Hajiyev talked a little more about it, Thorel said "Just play for the pleasure."

Thorel, one of the owners of the French pharmaceutical company Bioderma Laboratories, is enjoying his deep run here in Prague.
