Giuseppe Ottaviani raised to 4,000 on the button, and Michael Benvenuti reraised to 11,500 out of the small blind. After a fold from the big blind, Ottaviani called.
The flop came down 
, and Benvenuti bet 12,600. Ottaviani folded, and Benvenuti won the pot.
Tristan Wade opened the pot with a raise to 3,500 from middle position. He found calls from Team PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero in the small blind and Ioannis Kontonatsios in the big blind before the dealer spread out the 
flop. From there, all it took was a continuation bet of 4,400 from Wade after his two opponents had checked for him to win the pot and chip up a bit.

A short-stacked Angel Guillen open-shipped all in for his last 15,000 before the flop. It folded around to Theo Jorgensen who called from the button. The blinds folded and the hands were revealed to show Guillen in dominating position.
Guillen: 
Jorgensen: 
Although he was dominating before the flop, Guillen fell severely behind when Jorgensen flopped a straight on the 
flop. The 
turned and the 
rivered, sealing Guillen's fate in the tournament. Jorgensen, however, has boosted his stack to a solid 100,000.
Guillen would tweet after his elimination:

Just prior to the break we saw Sam Grafton standing on the rail, and he confirmed that he had in fact been eliminated.
According to him, he opened for 2,500 in early position and received a call from a player in middle position. Rob Yong the three-bet to 7,500, Grafton shipped for 53,000, the other player folded, and Grafton thought about it for a bit before making the call.
| Showdown |
| Grafton: |
Yong:   |
Grafton informed us that, based upon how ling Yong took to call, he thought he was in a race situation. Unfortunately for him, that wasn't the case. The 
flop wasn't kind to Grafton as it gave Yong, who was already in the lead, an added flush draw. The 
turn as of no consequence, while the 
river completed the said flush and sent Grafton home just shy of Level 12.

The players are now on a third 15-minute break of the day.
The board read 
and Artem Litvinov checked. Samuel Panzica led for 3,100 only to have Kyle Julius raise to 6,500. Litvinov quickly called and Panzica released his cards.
The board paired for a second time when the 
hit the river. Litvinov wasted no time betting 25,000 which was more than was in the pot. Julius went into the tank for a while before finally deciding to give up on the hand.

After the conclusion of a hand Micky Petersen told us that his table was an action table. That action must've helped Lorenzo Sabato in his summit to the top of the chip counts.
Sabato opened to 3,000 from mid position and was called by Simone Petrini before the PokerStars Team Online member squeezed to 6,800 from the button. Sabato decided to let this one go but Petrini wanted to see a flop and called.
The 
flop wasn't to his liking though as he check-folded to a 5,700 c-bet from Petersen.
Petrini wasted little time in getting those lost chips back. The very next hand he four-bet to 14,200 after a min raise from Dan O'Brien from under the gun and three-bet to 5,200 from a player in the next seat. The four-bet got through.

Winning the EPT San Remo two times in four seasons would be quite the feat, and that's exactly what Liv Boeree is trying to do.
In a recent hand, there was about 6,500 in the pot and a flop of 
when Andrii Nadieliaiev and Pius Heinz both checked to Boeree. The EPT6 Sanremo champ put out a bet of 3,600, only Nadieliaiev called, and the 
appeared on the turn.
Again Nadieliaiev check-called a bet, this time 8,000, and then he checked the river. Boeree refused to slow down and tossed out 17,000, which was enough to get the job done as Nadieliaiev sent his cards to the muck.
