In the cutoff seat, Alexander Debus opened to 53,000. Next door on the button, Johannes Strassmann three-bet to 126,000, and that was enough to fold the table back to Debus. After a minute of debate, he announced an all in, and Strassmann instantly called. There was a quick television pause before the cards were turned up, but there would be no slowroll; the Team PokerStars Pro turned to Debus and said, "I have aces." Debus eventually got to see the

is no good for the at-risk German, and he has been eliminated in 10th place.
Flop:
Baekke bet out 60,000. Debus made the call.
Turn:
Baekke now bet out another 137,000. Once again, Debus called. Interesting.
River:
Baekke now bet a whopping 437,000. After a moment Debus flat-called - and then promptly mucked when Baekke turned over a monstrous
for a full house.Debus dropped to around 700,000.
We managed to catch up with Brent "bdubs3737" Wheeler on the break to pick his mind about being in Europe and going deep at EPT Snowfest 2010.
Wheeler:
Holstege:
A very good spot for Holstege to double up, but the flop came
and Holstege was in really bad shape. The 
turn card was no help, leaving just one out left for Holstege to double up. The hit the river and Holstege busted in 11th place.Brent Wheeler jumps to over 2,400,000.

. In heads-up action, Alexander Debus knocked the table, and Allan Baekke put out a bet of 45,000. His opponent then stuck in a check-raise to 125,000 total, and Baekke didn't waste much time calling.Fourth street came the
, and Debus stacked together a leading bet of 220,000. He slid it across the line, and Baekke quickly asked him how much he had behind the bet. Debus had about 300,000 left, and after another minute or so, Baekke went ahead and moved all in to put his man to the test. Debus didn't seem to like it, but he was priced in and quickly made the call for his tournament life.Showdown

filled out the board, and that spells a double up for Mr. Debus. We're still waiting for him to stack up, but it looks like he'll be right around 1.4 million once he does.
flop. Baekke bet out 60,000 but Koller made it 155,000. Back to Baekke, who eyed up Koller's stack. "You got like 600 more?" he enquired and thought about it.At this point there was a deafening crunching noise in the tournament area; certain press members tensed up in case it was a repeat of the shenanigans at EPT Berlin, but it was just the speaker system malfunctioning. Over at the next table Alain Medesan lamented, "I raise and automatically everything goes wrong. I no more raise."
So back to the feature table, and Baekke flat-called the raise. Onwards.
They saw a
turn and Baekke now bet out 160,000. Koller moved all in, Baekke instacalled, and they were on their backs.Baekke:

Koller came back to shake hands, and he will not be making back-to-back final tables.
