Sure enough, they've started to fall. We're now down to two tables of eight, meaning 16 players in total. Five have gone since the last update and there's a redraw underway.

17 - Alexander Kravchenko - Russia - €12,860

18 - Hector Fuentes - Spain - €12,860
Lost with king-queen to Denes Kalo, whose jack-ten made two pair

19 - Victor Goossens - Holland - €12,860
