We are currently streaming the feature table live on the King's Poker Room Twitch channel.
Tune in to see the likes of Fedor Holz, Manig Loeser, and Tony G battling it out in the €25,000 buyin event.
Three levels in the books and the players are having their second 15-minute break of the day.
Within just five minutes, several players were eliminated in very quick succession to bring the field down to just 48 hopefuls after three levels of play on Day 3.
Among them were Marko Simic, Jesper Hansen and Friedrich Raz.
Simic raised to 600,000 and was called by Alamzad Sina in the small blind. Sina check-called a big bet by Simic on a king-high flop with two hearts and then set Simic all in after the 
turn. Simic only had 1.4 million behind and called with ace-king. Sina showed 
for a gutshot and flush draw that had improved, and that was it for the German with the nickname "Mubble."
Pavel Stolar's all in for 2,150,000 was called by Sonay Kehya and Raz called all in for just 750,000.
Friedrich Raz: 
Pavel Stolar: 
Sonay Kehya: 
The board came 
and Stolar more than doubled.
Just one table over, David Taborsky open-shoved the small blind with 
and Selim Cerci quickly called with 
. The flop of 
left Taborsky in desperate shape, and the miracle never happened with the 
turn and 
river.
Hansen was waiting at the payout desk, his ace-ten came up second best to ace-seven.

The turn was the

The river was the 
and Gruissem changed tack to lead for 2,800,000.
Soukup squirmed in his chair for a while before Gruissem started talking to him, “It’s never easy, never easy with me. No shame in a fold. You have a ten? A jack? I could have ten jack. Four five.”
Eventually Soukup folded and the table wanted to see Gruissem’s bluff so he showed them his 
. He then slowly tuned over his other card to reveal his 
flopped set.
Soukup said he had folded king-jack.

We joined the action on an 
board, in a hand between Yair Bitoun and Kenny Hallaert, who is currently ranked 13th worldwide on PocketFives and 3rd in Belgium on The Hendon Mob.
Hallaert had led the turn for 30,000, before Bitoun reached for a bunch of orange 5,000-value and slammed them on the felt. The dealer counted out the raise as 95,000, with Hallaert quickly deciding to put the rest in. He was only asking Bitoun for another 36,000, but Bitoun seemed reluctant to oblige. As the time ran over the 30-second shotclock, forcing him to use one of his timebank cards, Bitoun took one last look at his hole cards and put them into the muck.
