Marton Czuczor open-shoved for his last 47,000 from early position, and the action folded to Vincent van der Fluit, who called on the button. Both blinds released, and the hands were opened.
Czuczor: 
Van der Fluit: 
The 
flop didn't change much, but the 
on the turn gave van der Fluit a pair and it only left Czuczor with two outs. The river was a red card with no sides, but the 
was a brick, eliminating the Hungarian from the tournament.
"It just can't be suited," van der Fluit told his neighbor Johnny Lodden, pointing to his hand.
"You're more of a gambler than me," Lodden returned, smiling.

David Boyaciyan of the Netherlands opened to 12,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Danilo Donnini, who was seated in the cutoff. Donnini moved all-in for 113,000 in total and Boyaciyan began thinking about what to do.
The pair talked briefly, Donnini saying his shove was for only 21-23 big blinds, and shortly afterwards Boyaciyan said, "I respect you," and folded, turning over in the process.
Donnini flashed Boyaciyan the 
and later stated he held ace-queen.
