Carrel then proceeded to eliminate Viacheslav Goryachev in 9th and Paul-Francois Tedeschi in 5th, while Mark Radoja went on a rampage taking care of Senh Ung (8th), Jeff Rossiter (7th), Demetrio Barreca (6th), and Francois Billard (4th), before being eliminated himself by Dominik Nitsche in 3rd for €144,180.
