Upon returning from the break, players were informed that 30-second shot clocks are now in play, along with a small collection of time bank cards waiting at each seat.
Lucia Navarro opened to 16,000 in the cutoff and was called by Carlos Perez-Dosio on the button. The big blind also came along to see the J♣8♦6♣ flop.
After a pair of checks, Perez-Dosio fired 21,000. The big blind quickly folded before Navarro made the call. The 4♥ turn saw both players check, with the action repeating after the A♦ river completed the board.
Navarro revealed K♥J♥ for a pair of jacks, taking down the rematch with Perez-Dosio after he showed 7♣7♥.

Action was heads up between Juan Lyons and 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson and a board showing 9♥2♥3♣.
Lyons checked to Simpson, who fired 12,000. Diaz-Caneja then check-raised to 55,000 and the call was made. Lyons then led out on the K♣ turn for 80,000. Simpson made the call before the 6♣ river.
Lyons moved all in, covering his opponent and leaving Simpson with a decision for his tournament life. Simpson took some time before putting in the call.

At a nearby table, Aleix Vidal was eliminated when his Kx10x could catch up to his opponent's pocket fives.
