There were three double-ups before hand-for-hand play could officially begin, including Manfred Müller, Markus Brunner and Matthias Kühl.

Then, in Hand #1 of hand-for-hand play, Roger Imesch is all-in preflop with two callers, of which Brunner bets all but one chip on the flop to isolate. Once all other tables are finished, the showdown proceeds.
