With less than half of the field remaining, Benoit Lam just doubled up in a flip to stay in and boost the stack pretty much spot on to average. Lam was at risk for his last 33,800 with the 
and his opponent held 
for two overcards. The board came 
and the queens held up.

Keisuke Hikosaka and Mladen Ivanov limped in and Carl Gustav Jacob Ohlund raised to 4,500 on the button, both opponents called. On the 
flop the action checked to Ohlund and he continued for 3,500. Hikosaka check-raised all in and Ivanov asked for a count before calling the shove worth 18,300. Ohlund let go within a few moments and the cards were turned over.
Keisuke Hikosaka: 
Mladen Ivanov: 
Even before the showdown, Hikosaka had shaken his head as if he already knew his fate. It was all over after the 
turn and the meaningless 
river completed the board.

, Geilich had 18,000 left and and Boeree looked them up with 
holding the biggest stack of the trio.
The board came 
and that was it for Frunze and Geilich.

Simon Ravnsbaek raised from the button and Robert Heidorn defended the big blind. The flop went check, check, and Heidorn bet the 
turn for 3,700. Ravnsbaek called and did so again reluctantly for 9,500 on the river. Heidorn rolled over 
for top pair and scooped the pot.
Soon after, the German won an even bigger pot when holding pocket kings and check-shoved a ten-high flop. Adrian Mateos had pocket jacks and found no help on a blank turn and river.
Heidorn didn't slow down after that either and won another two pots to essentially double his stack.
