Harun Ertural in the hijack and Joni Jouhkimainen in the cutoff each put 210,000 in a massive pot of 800,000 on a turn of 2♥J♣K♦4♥. The river fell the Q♦ and was checked by Erutral.
Jouhkimainen put in 400,000, about half his stack, and was instantly check-raised all-in by Ertural.
Jouhkimainen snap-folded and the gigantic pot was shipped to Ertural, who resultingly obtained a substantial chiplead over the rest of the field.
On a turn of K♥9♣2♠2♦, Ka Kwan Lau in the small blind checked to Vasil Medarov in early position. Medarov bet 55,000, which Lau raised to 175,000.
Medarov made the call, after which the 3♠ river went check-check. Lau shook his head, prompting Medarov to table A♦J♦J♣2♣ for the winning hand with trips.
At another table, Imad Derwiche was seen leaving the tournament area.

James Crawley under the gun, Tom-Aksel Bedell on the button, and Stefan Polster in the big blind went to a flop of J♦9♥4♣.
With 175,000 in the pot, Crawley jammed all in for 105,000 once Polster had checked. Bedell mucked his cards but Polster snap-called.
James Crawley: A♥10♥J♠6♣ 
Stefan Polster: Q♣9♠9♣8♣
The 3♦A♣ runout brought no significant changes, sending Crawley to the rail.
Tom-Aksel Bedell had raised to 30,000 on the button. Stefan Polster in the big blind then made it 100,000 to go, which Bedell called.
Polster put in the rest of his chips, 170,000, on the 4♦J♣2♠ flop and was called by Bedell.
"I wish myself good luck," Bedell said as the cards were flipped up.
Stefan Polster: J♠J♥5♥5♣
Tom-Aksel Bedell: K♦Q♦6♥2♥
Bedell was in abysmal shape against the top set of Polster. He made two more pairs on the 6♠K♣ runout but it was not enough as he doubled up Polster.

Bedell asked for diamonds, but he did not need any as the 9♥Q♣K♦6♥8♥ board let his aces hold and knocked out Tsoupras.
