Action folded to Erik Seidel, who has chipped up nicely as of late, and he opened for 10,000 from the button. Ariel Celestino called from the small blind, and then Timothy Adams three-bet all in for roughly 75,000 from the big. Seidel quickly folded and Celestino wasted little time in making the call.
Celestino:
Adams:
Both players held an ace, but Adams' kicked was second best. The flop kept Celestino in the lead, but the turn gave both players two pair with a king kicker. It look destined to be a chopped pot, but then the spiked on the river. Both players improved to aces and kings, and suddenly the kicker was back in play. That spelt the end to Adams' tournament.
Meanwhile, Ole Schemion, Fady Kamar and Yaron Zeev Malki have all been eliminated from the tournament.
Joe Kuether opened to 10,000 preflop before Ole Schemion moved all in from the button. Sorel Mizzi then reshoved in the small blind and it was passed back to Kuether who quickly got out of the way.
Schemion:
Mizzi:
The board came and Mizzi's ace-high stayed ahead for the double.
Elsewhere, short stack Tobias Reinkemeier and EPT Barcelona champion Tom Middleton have both been eliminated.

Greenwood slid out a stack of blues to set the Englishman all in and after some serious dwelling, Teltscher called off his stack.
Teltscher:
Greenwood:
The flop came to give Teltscher extra outs, the wasn't one of them though bu the on the river was a dagger through Greenwood's heart and the latter knocked over some of his own chips in disbelief. A big double up for Teltscher though.
Phil Hellmuth has been known to let his stack dwindle to critical levels, and this event proved no different. The "Poker Brat" registered at the start of Day 2 and received a starting stack of 50,000, but it only seemed to go down.
In his final hand, Hellmuth was down to 7,800 and had to put 4,000 of it out for the big blind and 500 to the ante. Needless to say, he called off after Frederik Jensen opened from the under-the-gun position. Jensen tabled the and Hellmuth said that he called off without looking.
"Do you mind if I show just one?" Hellmuth asked. Jensen agreed and Hellmuth revealed just the . The dealer then put out the flop. Hellmuth didn't hit, but the good news was Jensen didn't improve either.
"Oh my, I'm a favorite now," Hellmuth said excitedly when the turn put four clubs on the board. Hellmuth still didn't look at his other card and waited for the dealer to put out the river, which came the . In dramatic fashion Hellmuth sent his card high into the air so they landed face up. There was the of course, and the other card was the... .
Hellmuth missed and Jensen's queen took the pot. "That was fun," Hellmuth laughed. He then shook hands with every player at the table and then took his leave from the tournament.
