The board was already complete with more than 700,000 in the middle and Dominik Nitsche moved all in on the river. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier called for his last 290,000 and Nitsche announced an ace, then rolled over . Grospellier was going to muck his cards, but as it was an all in showdown the cards of the Frenchman were turned over, it were for an inferior full house.
The vacant seat was filled swiftly with Markus Durnegger on his second bullet and Nitsche continued to bulldoze through the table in the next hand. Nitsche's raise to 40,000 was met with a three-bet by Manig Loeser for 200,000 and a jam of Nitsche followed to force a fold.
Johannes Becker raised to 25,000 and Patrick Leonard called from the button. Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 125,000 out of the small blind and Becker moved all in for 189,000 in total. Leonard folded and Thorel called the additional few chips.

The board ran out and Becker failed to get there, bowing out in his first attempt. The winner of the second €25,000 Super High Roller will very likely be back shortly, though.
In two hours from now as of 12 p.m. noon local time, the high stakes regulars will be back in action to determine yet another champion among their peers. Day 1 of the 2018 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany €50,000 Super High Roller is scheduled to kick off at lunch time and many of the familiar faces of the previous days are expected to join the action today.
Patrik Antonius defeated partypoker ambassador Joao Simao in heads-up to claim the first €25,000 Super High Roller for €425,000 and the second edition of this event ended with a three-way deal including Johannes Becker, Stefan Schillhabel and Niall Farrell. Simao made back-to-back final tables after finishing fourth while fellow partypoker ambassador Patrick Leonard came 5th and will be aiming for more today.
A large contingent of German High Rollers is also expected such as Steffen Sontheimer, Dominik Nitsche, Koray Aldemir and Manig Loeser. Leon Tsoukernik himself will take on the young guns and Paul Newey, as well as Adrian Mateos, already confirmed to take part, too.
The registration for the most expensive event of the festival at the King's Casino in Rozvadov remains open for the first nine levels of 40 minutes each and at least 12 levels are scheduled for the first of two days. A single re-entry is available to all those that run out of chips during the registration period eventually.
