Among the latest players to bust has also been Felix Schulze. The German recalled three hands that cost him, two of which saw him open the action with ace-king. In the final hand, he four-bet jammed into a squeeze and lost the flip against pocket jacks.
While he can re-enter one more time, that will likely happen on Day 1b instead according to Schulze. Near the end of level four, there are 352 players out of 406 entries remaining and the flagship event is well on track to surpass the €5 million guarantee.

On a completed board of 
, Alexander [Removed:349] checked his option and Vlad Darie then bet 15,000. [Removed:349] check-raised to 35,100 and Darie was sent into the tank before sending his cards into the muck.
The second entry of Darie in the event is thus not off to a great start, as he already lost around one third of his stack.
