The board read 
and the players were waiting on a decision. Eventually the clock was called and the floor came over and gave Nuri Hakan Demircioglu from Turkey a countdown. After 50 seconds the ten second countdown began and Demircioglu remained sat stock still. The time ran out and his hand was declared dead. Steve O’Dwyer was on the other end of it and prepared to take the pot. That’s when the trouble began.
Demircioglu insisted he had said “All-in.” but no one else at the table would confirm that. A few said they had “Heard something.” But not an all-in. The tournament director was called and all was explained as clearly as possible. No chips had moved. There was no red triangle in front of the player. The dealer insisted she had been looking at Demircioglu the whole time. Demircioglu countered that he had just been focusing on the cards and didn’t notice that the floor was giving him the countdown.
Demircioglu insisted “One hundred per cent.” he had said all in and was demanding that the cameras be checked, as he appealed to the other players to back up his story. The TD made his final decision that the hand was dead and that the next deal should take place immediately but Demircioglu hadn’t finished. He leaned across the table trying to grab his cards from the muck as the dealer began the wash. “That’s my card.” He said with one hand on a card. The tournament director gave him a final warning and Demircioglu took his hand away. As play resumed he went off to the side to continue his argument but it didn’t look like it would do him any good.
On the turn of an 
board, Jonas Lauck saw his 5,000 bet check-raised to 20,000 by Jannick Wrang. Calling would cost Lauck all his chips but he made the call with 
, clearly hoping that the king hadn't hit the Danish former EPT winner.
The good news for Lauck was that he was right, the king hadn't hit Wrang. The bad news? Wrang was holding 
. The 
came on the river and the tournament lost another German player.

Michael Tureniec opened for 1,700 and was three-bet on the button to 4,200 by Ivan Soshnikov. The blinds folded and Tureniec asked how much he had behind. It was about 17,000 and Tureniec four-bet him to 12,000. Soshnikov hated it but he put the rest of his chips in (just covering Tureniec) and they got it all in preflop. Tureniec showed 
against the 
of the Russian. The final board read 
and Soshniko was left with just 4,300. He declined to just shove it in next hand but needs some luck soon.
