After a relatively epic heads-up battle, youthful Dutchman Mark Schouten finally conquered the last of the 106-strong field to claim top prize, the title, and the very attractive full-size glass trophy. The victory must have been particularly sweet as Schouten qualified on PokerStars rather than having to do anything so brash as pay his way over here to Saalbach-Hinterglemm.
Join us back here tomorrow at 2pm GMT+1 when the much-anticipated Main Event will at last get under way. Until then, guten Nacht from Austria and the PokerNews team.
