And, just like that, they're down to nine. This time it's Sebastian Ruthenberg, the PokerStars player from Germany, who was on the receiving end.

He lost a huge pot to double up Anton Allemann and then pushed in with 6-6 the next hand. Thierry van den Berg, the PokerStars qualifier from Holland, found aces again and they held. Van Den Berg now has plenty; Ruthenberg has €38,600 for 10th place.
