Roovers slammed in his final 11,800 chips and Klocker made the call for just 800 more. Roovers showed J♥8♠ for a pair of eights, but Klocker outkicked him with his A♥8♥ and sent the Dutchman to an early exit.

Tom Waters and Shoib Gulamhussein were looking at a completed board of 6♥K♦9♠8♠6♣, where Waters made a bet of 3,500 from the big blind into a pot of 10,000.

Gulamhussein then moved in for 17,700 chips and Waters asked for a count. After receiving it, he flicked in a call and a showdown was had.

Gulamhussein tabled J♥8♥ for two pair, eights and sixes, which were outclassed by the rockets of Waters. His A♠A♦ for aces and sixes raked in him the pot while Gulamhussein swiftly vacated the table.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante

Koen Roelofsen was left with but a few chips after running his pocket kings into the aces of Conor Harkin, and they went in on a flop of 4♠6♣6♠. Both Hugh Parker and John Deschamp were interested and made the call.

The 6♦ turn created a side pot as both players put in 1,000 chips more, after which Parker tossed in another bet of 2,500 on the J♣ river.

Deschamp made the call and the side pot was chopped as both players had the same full house, with Parker tabling 10♥4♥ and Deschamp showing 5♦4♣. Roelofsen's 8♣7♥ was no match and he swiftly exited the tournament area.
