Roman Makhlin opened under the gun to 54,000 and Ognjen Sekularac called from behind. The flop was 
and the young cherubic Russian fired out a double barrel of 72,000. Sekularac stared deep into the eyes of the young Russian who looked completely unperturbed and just stared straight back at Sekularac. It seemed an age had passed before Sekularac finally folded.
Francesco Notaro finds himself with around 1,300,000 chips after winning a nice pot from Jain Rasinen.
Rasinen opened the betting with a raise to 52,000 from early position, one player folded, then Notaro raised to 100,000. The rest of the table folded and after some discussion on Notaro's bet size, Rasinen made the call.
Flop: 
Both players checked
Turn:
Rasinen checks but Notaro cannot bet 50,000 fast enough and he flashed the 
as Rasinen folds.
Notaro climbs to 1,300,000 whilst Rasinen slips to 920,000
Shander de Vries has been shove-happy during the first level, first coming over the top of Ognjen Sekularec's button raise with an all-in bet, which Sekularec folded to, then the very next hand he game Jose Navarro the same treatment.
However, this time, after much deliberation from Navarro, including several looks at the payout scale, he was called!
Navarro: 
de Vries: 
Final board: 
and de Vries doubles up to 1,250,000
Dominik Nitsche who finished in 62nd place last year has been eliminated in 23rd place this year. He shoved his 318,000 stack into the middle from late position holding 
and was called by Konstantin Puchkov who was holding 
The board was no help to NItsche 
and he takes home a €20,000 consolation prize.
Ognjen Sekularac opened for 57,000 but Juan Ramon Marquez Garcia made it All In for 211,000. There was a long pause while Sekularac did his thinking. He said some stuff to Garcia that we couldn't quite make out; Garcia pointed to his earphones and said, "I like much."
"It is a good song?" Sekularac asked him.
The dwelling continued for some time, Sekularac enquiring as to whether Garcia had 
, but eventually he called.
Sekularac: 
Garcia: 
and "You ask me ace-queen, you don't have nothing!"
But nothing can sometimes turn into something...
Board: 
Sekularac made a flush, and we are down another player.
We are now down to just 20 players after Oscar Pelayo put all of his chips in the middle on a flush draw and missed.
He opened the betting with a raise from the button to 55,000, a bet that only Jani Rasinen called. Both players checked the 
flop but with the arrival of the on the turn, the action erupted.
First, Rasinen lead out with a 70,000 bet and was quickly check raised by Pelayo to 180,000. After asking how many chips his opponent had, Rasinen moved all-in, sendin Pelayo into the tank.
All tournament he has chatted away like it was his last day on Earth and today has been no different. First speaking in Spanish then switching to English to try an obtain some information about Rasinen's hand, telling him what hands he put him then, boom, out of nowhere, "I call!"
Pelayo: 
for the nut flush draw and an overcard
Rasinen: 
for top pair
The crowd and television cameras gathered around the table whilst Pelayo pleased for an ace or club but the river was the , sending Pelayo to the cashier desk and Rasinen up to the dizzy heights of 1,450,000
Over on the next table, Todd Sisley (now reduced to 420,000) shoved from the button, and in the small blind Luis Rufas reshoved. Oscar Pelayo thought about it for a long, long time in the big blind but eventually folded; the two other players went to showdown.
Rufas: and, "Come on."
Sisley: 
and, "Good luck to you."
Board: 
Amazingly, both players made a Broadway straight and they chopped it up. Shouted a pro-Sisley railer, "On a scale of one to I-like-that, I like that!"
Apologies for some of the incomplete information in this hand but access to the feature table is very tight.
Giuseppe Pantaleo opened the action with a raise and Alessandro Longobardi made the called. We had a flop of 
and Pantaleo bet 63,000 and Longobardi made the call. The turn was and Pantaleo bet again, this time for 139,000 and Longobardi again made the call. The river was the and after asking how Longobardi how many chips he had - Pantaleo bet 397,000 and Longobardi made the call.
