Nedzib Suman raises to $70,000 from under the gun and Gino "El Diablo" Alacqua makes it $210,000 to go from the small blind. Suman thinks about it and then makes the call, and the flop comes K K 7. Alacqua immediately moves all-in for his last $365,000 and Suman tanks, mulling things over before finally laying down the hand. Alacqua takes the pot and is up to about $900,000.

We've reached the end of the level and players are taking a brief intermission. Action will resume in 15 minutes.

Nedzib Suman raises to $50,000 from under the gun and Dag Palovic tanks for a few minutes before folding pocket eights on his left. Kristian Kjondal makes the call on the button and then Gino Alacqua, playing what may be his first hand of the final table, moves all-in for his last $550,000. After some heavy thought, Suman lays it down and Kjondal mucks with considerably less thought, giving the pot to El Diablo.

The blinds have increased and the action keeps going from the PokerStars EPT Prague final table.

Nedzib Suman raises to $50,000 from the cut-off and the action folds to Juha Lauttamus, who puts Suman all-in for his last $255,000 from the big blind. Suman thinks for a few minutes before making the call and slams down T T after the Fin shows 8 8. The board comes K 9 9 Q T and Suman makes tens-full on the river to double through his opponent and stay alive.

Kristian Kjondal raises to $35,000 from early position and Mikael Norrinder moves all-in over the top for his last $180,000. Kjondal makes the call and turns up A-K to Norrinder's J-9 and the Swedish pro is in bad for his tournament life. The board comes Q-2-2-A-5 and that's the end for Mikael Norrinder, who exits in eighth place and will take home €63,200.

Mikael Norrinder raises to $36,000 from middle position and Arnaud Mattern re-raises to $130,000 from the small blind. Norrinder announces a re-raise but mucks up his chips and is held to only a min-raise. Mattern immediately moves all-in for $677,000 and after a few moments' thought Norrinder calls, putting his chip lead on the line on the strength of his A Q.

Mattern is in good shape with K K and after the board comes 9 5 2 7 6 the French player has doubled-up while Norrinder is left with barely $150,000 to his name.

Mikael Norrinder raises to $36,000 from middle position and Johannes Strassman shoves all-in for about $150,000 from the big blind. Norrinder calls immediately and turns up 9 9 to Strassmann's 2 2. The board comes K 6 3 T T and the nines hold, busting Strassmann in ninth place for a €39,200 payout.
