Tomas Svec has been eliminated in third place, leaving Iranian Majid Alimoradpour and Czech Marek Soukop as the last two players to fight it out. Both players took pots off Tomas, but it was Majid who sent him to rail, taking just under a 3-1 chip into the final stage of the tournament.
It was very nearly a one-hand heads up match, as they got it all in immediately with Marek holding AQ versus the pocket tens of Majid. A queen flopped, to give Marek a slight chip lead.
