It looked like Jacobson would be going out on a brutal suckout as the flop landed to give Stausholm a set and have the 2014 WSOP Main Event champion drawing to just two outs. He hit one of them on the turn and the on the river didn't change anything to keep Jacobson alive.

Fahredin Mustafov Eliminated in 10th Place (€72,000)

Mwarburton

Nível 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a dramatic moment that seemed to have been building since players returned from break, Diogo Coelho raised from the cutoff and Fahredin Mustafov reshoved from the big blind. Coelho made the call and players flipped their cards.

Fahredin Mustafov:
Diogo Coelho:

It was a coinflip situation with Mustafov at risk. The board came . Mustafov's pocket nines were good on the flop, but a queen on the turn put Coelho ahead and he held on the river. Mustafov was eliminated in tenth place for €72,000.

With that elimination, it was time for a redraw and the tournament is now down to the final table. Pay jumps from here on are worth tens of thousands of euros.
