Maksim Kolosov is no more. A hand simply snowballed right out of control when a threeway flop of 
saw a bet out from Daniel-Gai Pidun (57k), raise from Robin Ylitalo (112k) and then shove from Kolosov for over 300,000! This was met by a quick shove in response from Pidun and the first flop raiser got out of the way like a squirrel crossing a dual carriageway at rush hour.
Kolosov: 
Pidun: 
The turn and river: 
. Pidun 1,000,000+.
...Is don't smack into kings.
Marco Morales did just that with 
at some point on a 
board. Luis Jaikel was holding 
. We believe that Maksim Kolosov had also been involved but had folded his 
on the flop. Either way, Morales is now out, and Jaikel is up to 570,000.
Jonas Gutteck shoved for a little over 200,000 from the small blind, and Aurelien Guiglini called all in from the big blind for around 165,000. On their backs.
Guiglini: 
Gutteck: 
Board: 
Ouch. Gutteck rivered a gutshot straight to send the plucky young Frenchman to the rail. Gutteck is now in considerably better shape than he was, on 370,000.
After both Konstantin Puchkov and Anton Morgenstern checked the turn of a 
board, the former quickly fired out 100,000 on the 
river with around 250,000 in the pot already.
Morgenstern tanked before making the call and Puchkov turned over 
for a missed straight draw, his Russian compatriot winning with a paltry .
Puchkov is now very short.
The frenzy of elimination which has characterised this level has been paused for what is probably going to be the last break of the night.

Bolivar Palacios opened to 36,000 under the gun but soon regretted it as Max Heinzelmann made it 92,000 from the cutoff. He folded, and is on 450,000. Heinzelmann still looks to be tying with Ben Wilinofsky for the lead.
David Stogel has been eliminated by a rapidly chipping-up George Danzer. Helped by a ton of huge hands this level, Danzer is up to 530,000 - his latest c.100k addition coming from Stogel's button shove with . Danzer only had 
and promptly busted him.
Not all of Danzer's hands have held, though - he kept Bolivar Palacios in the tournament when he called his preflop shove with pocket queens. Palacios had moved in with from the big blind and hit one pair on the flop and another on the river to give himself about 410,000.
Ilya Gorodetskiy made the opening raise and Markus Grewe called in the small blind before Jens Weigel shoved from the big blind. Gorodetskiy folded, and although there was a tantalisingly long dwell from Grewe, eventually he folded too. Weigel is now at 320,000.
