Martin Nielsen opened the action with a raise to 10,500 in the hijack. Mads Amot three-bet to 36,000 in the cutoff, to which Nielsen responded by four-betting to 113,500.
Amot just called to the 2♦9♥10♠ flop, where he called off his remaining 200,000 or so when Nielsen put him all-in.
Mads Amot: Q♠8♣7♣6♠ 
Martin Nielsen: A♠A♣4♥2♥
Amot found no improvement on the 4♦9♠ runout, eliminating him as he saw his stacks of chips being added to Nielsen's towers.

Marcus Dieleman limped in from the hijack before he called the raise to 13,500 from Filip Aleksic on the button.
Dieleman checked to Aleksic on the 9♥4♥9♦ flop. Aleksic bet 11,000, and Dieleman called. Aleksic then sized up to 30,000 on the Q♠ turn.
Dieleman abandoned the pot and mucked his cards, after which the three Dutch players at the table started discussing dinner plans.

Csaba Fenyvesi limped in from early position, and "Gypsy Baron" followed suit in middle position. Florian Kraft then raised to 16,500 in the cutoff, which only "Gypsy Baron" called.
"Gypsy Baron" called Kraft's bet of 26,000 on the 7♣2♥4♣ flop before the K♦ fell on the turn. Kraft announced a pot-sized bet of 98,500, and "Gypsy Baron" instantly check-raised all in.
Kraft spent some time banks as he had already put about half his stack in, but ultimately decided he could not fold and called off.
Florian Kraft: A♠A♦K♥J♦
"Gypsy Baron": K♠8♦7♦6♠
"Gypsy Baron"'s two pair remained the best hand on the 9♠ river as Kraft was eliminated for the second time today.

Picking up the action on a 4♥5♦3♠2♥ turn, Stian Usterud checked from the small blind to Robert Cowen in the big blind, who fired a bet of 30,000.
Usterud called to the 3♣ river, where he promptly led for a pot-sized bet of 91,000. Cowen needed one time bank before he called; however, he started shaking his head as Usterud tabled 7♥7♣2♠2♣ for a rivered full house.
Cowen's cards eventually hit the muck. In the meantime, Tomasz Krzesinski had taken his seat as the newest entry of the tournament.

: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Pavel Izotov shoved his 35,500 remaining chips in from the cutoff against Aki Vihikainen on the button, and was called.
Pavel Izotov: A♠A♦J♠4♥
Aki Vihikainen: K♠K♥8♣6♥
Izotov hit top set on the 10♥A♣7♥ flop, but Vihikainen had a flush draw to contend. Neither the 3♠ turn nor the Q♦ river brought another heart, however, seeing Izotov find a vital double-up.

Nikolaos Lampropoulos had three-bet to 40,000 from the small blind, which Shamil Patel reraised to 110,000 in the hijack.
Lampropoulos tossed in a call, but he quickly check-folded when Patel bet 75,000 on the A♠6♠5♠ flop.
