Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Stanislav Zegal had limped under the gun and called the pot-sized raise of Lucas van den Belt on the button. He then checked the 9♥4♦Q♣ flop over to Van den Belt, who bet 43,000.
Zegal called to the 6♦ turn, which both players checked. Zegal bet 50,000 on the 8♠ river, only to be raised to 140,000. Zegal spent a while in the tank, using a couple of time banks, before he found a call.
Van den Belt tabled A♣J♣10♥8♥ for the nut straight, and Zegal calmly added his cards to the muck in defeat.

Shortly after winning a big pot, Lucas van den Belt was involved in another huge one.
On a completed board of 7♥10♠2♥4♥K♠, Ole Schemion had checked from the big blind to Van den Belt under the gun. Van den Belt fired a pot-sized bet of 361,000, sending Schemion in the tank.
Eventually, the German poker legend called. Van den Belt tapped the table as he turned over A♥K♦J♦8♣ for a bluff. Schemion showed 10♥9♥5♦2♦ for a flush, and soared to a seven-figure stack as a result.
Van den Belt was left with less than 100,000, and he was eliminated shortly after.

: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Danyil Zaremba raised to 15,000 in the hijack. Carlo van Ravenswoud called on the button, and Dario Alioto defended his big blind.
The trio checked through the A♠K♥J♦ flop, after which the 7♠ fell on the turn. Alioto bet out 13,000, Zaremba called, and Van Ravenswoud folded.
The 7♣ river quickly checked to showdown. Alioto tabled Q♠10♠10♥8♥ for Broadway, and he received two thumbs up from Zaremba before the latter mucked his cards.

Daniel Birkmose had raised an earlier limp, to which Ole Schemion responded by three-betting from the small blind. Birkmose then shoved all in for about 275,000, being snapped off by Schemion.
Daniel Birkmose: K♥K♦10♥4♣ 
Ole Schemion: A♠A♣10♣6♦
Schemion's aces remained the best hand on the J♥8♣2♣6♥3♦ runout, sending Birkmose to a late-night exit.

Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Harry Casagrande limped in from middle position. Anton Suarez followed suit in the hijack before Andras Nemeth raised to 52,000 in the cutoff. Espen Myrmo three-bet to 179,000 on the button, quickly folding out the limpers.
Nemeth called to a 10♣4♥2♠ flop, however, where he check-called the all-in of 313,000 from Myrmo.
Espen Myrmo: A♥A♦9♣4♦
Andras Nemeth: A♣7♥6♥4♣
Myrmo made two pair on the 9♦ turn, which remained best on the 6♦ river. He raked in a seven-figure double-up as Day 1b entered its last 30 minutes.

A massive pot of 500,000 was spotted between Andras Nemeth and Corel Theuma. The completed board read K♣2♠4♥4♠2♥, with Nemeth moving all in for 385,000.
Theuma asked for a count twice before he shrugged and called off.
"Ace-king," Nemeth declared as he showed A♥K♥Q♦3♥. Theuma acknowledged Nemeth had the best hand, tabling Q♥J♠J♦10♠ for a no-good pair of jacks.
