Norway's Johnny Johansen was the first casualty of the day. It took almost 40 minutes of play before Roman Pavliuk was able to get his chips. Pavliuk in the process was also able to grab some of the chip stack from Belarus' Dzianis Kisel.
Johansen was the short-stack heading into today and collected €2,007 for his 12th place finish. This represented his third largest cash in a live tournament after his seventh place finish in the €750 JP Poker Masters event in March 2012 for €2,510 and his 14th place finish in the € 800+80 NM Omaha Pot Limit - Triple Chance event for €2,410 .
