Kronwitter had plenty of outs to make a straight and potentially chop. Some of them vanished on the
turn as Stein had diamonds covered, and the
river only gave Kronwitter an inferior pair of sevens. As a result, the German was eliminated in 11th place and the final 10 are now on two five-handed tables. Once the next contender bows out, they will combine to the nine-handed unofficial final table.
