Mads WIssing raised, and Roberto Romanello in the big blind was the only caller.
Romanello check-called 75,000 on the flop and then bet out 76,000 on the turn. Wissing thought about it - and then raised all in for another 200,000 or so. Romanello spent a while apparently doing sums in his head and muttering, and eventually folded.
There was a brief round of applause for Wissing from the rail. "Thank you," said Romanello.
Stig Rossen seems to have got his chips in on the river and was called by Damien Fouquet.

Fouquet is up to a little over 1.7 million, tying for the chip lead with Roberto Romanello. In just one full level, we have lost a quarter of the field.
Roberto Romanello opened to 26,000 from the cutoff seat, and Henrik Junker would give him some action from the small blind. Junker slid out a reraise to 68,000, and Romanello quickly made the call.
Heads up, the two men saw a flop of . Junker stacked out a healthy bet of 104,000 and continued out into the pot with that amount. Romanello quickly and firmly announced, "I'm all in," in that catchy Welsh accent, and Junker couldn't have called any quicker.
"I guess you have me then," was Romanello's astute conclusion. Indeed, his was in a rough shape against Junker's . "Bad day..." added Romanello, trailing off.
The on the turn kept Junker ahead, but it did give his opponent four more outs to the gutshot and the knockout. But Romanello would not need those particular outs. The peeled off on the river, improving the Welshman to the winning trips and securing a frustrating 20th-place finish for Junker.
Romanello apologized in as heartfelt of a manner as any poker player could muster, but Junker remained quiet. As he prepared to make his exit, Romanello tried again, standing up and offering up another, "Really sorry, man." It didn't look malicious, but Junker was too steamed to even shake Romanello's hand, and he made his way off to the payout desk.
Romanello appears to have regained the chip lead with about 1.5 million. Full counts are coming on the break.
Up on the TV table, Steven Vollers shoved from the small blind and Richard Loth called in the big blind. On their backs, and it wasn't looking good for the all-in player.

"A round of applause please for Steven who finishes the tournament..." started Thomas Kremser before realising it was a split pot.
"Please welcome Steven back to the table," announced Kremser, not missing a beat.
We arrived to witness Ricky Fohrenbach (hijack) betting out on a flop; Andrew Teng (cutoff) called.
At this point someone went all in on the TV table (details to follow) so we lost track of the action briefly, but when we returned the pot had become huge and a turn and river had completed the board. The cards were flipped and Fohrenbach could only boast . Teng's were good enough to win the pot, and Fohrenbach is reduced to 300,000.
