Stefan Kostner Eliminated in 6th Place (€9,200)
Stefan Kostner opened from under the gun to 250,000 and Tomasz Kozub called on the button. Hristiyan Banov also came along from the big blind.
The three saw a flop of 2♦A♥7♣ which Banov checked, and Kostner fired 550,000. Kozub called, and Banov then shoved for 720,000. Kostner and Kozub both called.
With Banov already all-in, the turn brought a 9♦ and Kostner shoved for 940,000. Kozub snap-called.
Hristiyan Banov: A♠Q♠J♠5♦ 
Stefan Kostner: A♦K♣J♥5♥
Tomasz Kozub: A♣10♦8♦2♣
Kozub had two pair plus both straight & flush draws and was the favorite to score a double knockout. Kostner and Banov shared some cards but the miracle Q♣ on the river gave the latter a bigger two pair, which gave him a triple-up.
The side pot went to Kozub, who was still scratching his head wondering how he isn't an overwhelming chip leader with four players remaining. Instead, only Kostner was eliminated which left five players in contention.
