In a pot of about 300,000 with the flop reading 5♠4♣6♠, big blind Stefan Lehner got his stack of 450,000 in the middle against Youness Barakat in middle position.
Stefan Lehner: 10♦8♥8♦7♠ 
Youness Barakat: A♠K♣5♦3♠
Lehner had gotten it in with the nuts, but Barakat rivered his flush on 2♣2♠ to take the pot. Lehner was sent home, and Barakat ended with a stack of nearly triple the average.
Christian Stratmeyer raised to 70,000 in the hijack. Gabi Livshitz responded with a three-bet to 240,000 in the cutoff, and Ermanno Di Nicola quickly called all in for 85,000 on the button.
Stratmeyer also obliged with a call, after which the Q♥6♣4♦ flop and 3♥ turn were checked through. Stratmeyer bet 225,000 on the 9♣ river, receiving an instant fold from his opponent.
Di Nicola stood up as he tabled K♠J♦8♥2♠, and Stratmeyer took the sizable pot with Q♣9♥8♣6♥ for queens and nines.
Marcus Dieleman raised to 70,000 in middle position. Bharath Janardhan was in the hijack and three-bet to 240,000, seeing Dieleman quickly call.
Dieleman checked the J♥7♦7♣ flop over to Janardhan, who announced an all-in bet. Dieleman snap-called for his stack of 260,000, and the cards were revealed.
Marcus Dieleman: K♣J♠J♣9♠
Bharath Janardhan: A♥A♣Q♥5♣
Janardhan needed an ace to win the pot, but none arrived on the 4♥10♠ runout. He sighed a few times as about half his stack went Dieleman's way.
Under the gun, Mads Amot committed his last 180,000 on the 3♠8♣J♣ flop, being check-called by Hossein Ensan.
Mads Amot: K♦K♣10♠4♥
Hossein Ensan: J♥10♦9♦5♥
Ensans many outs bricked on the 2♣6♣ runout, and Amot raked in his double-up with a single pair of kings.
Jeremy Trojand limped in from the small blind, after which "Kianator" raised to 60,000 in the big blind. Trojand called, and committed his last 45,000 on the 5♠2♥3♦ flop, quickly being looked up by "Kianator".
Jeremy Trojand: 10♣9♣5♣3♠
"Kianator": 9♥8♦5♦6♣
Trojand's two pair faded "Kianator"s outs on the A♣2♣ runout, doubling him up.
Meanwhile, the most recent €5K Millions winner, Youness Barakat, had chipped up significantly, sitting with around double the average stack.
