Imed Ben Mahmoud was all in twice but got no caller, besides that some small pots were traded and you could clearly see the tension. Ben Mahoud in fact showed the 
after his second all in after all opponents folded.
The action folded to Ihar Soika in early position and he moved all in for 55,000. One seat over, Artem Litvinov made the call and everyone else folded. Jason Lavallee in the big blind as well, seemingly with a big decision.
Litvinov: 
Soika: 
The 
flop was no good for Litvinov, but he improved on the turn. Only hearts or an eight could now save Soika, but it wasn't meant to be as the 
river completed the board. There will now be a redraw for the last two tables and we are in hand-for-hand mode on the money bubble.

We are in the money and the better hand preflop lost. It was Ognjen Sekularac who was all in and at risk for 96,000 with the 
and Philip Sternheimer made the reluctant call with the 
. The 
flop brought no change and the Serbian was still ahead.
However, the on the turn saw Sternheimer improve. No jack on the river but instead the saw the money bubble burst and all remaining 15 players now have €17,500 guaranteed.

Ole Schemion opened for 18,000 and Thomas Muhlocker moved all in for his last 165,000. Griffin Benger just made the call and when it got back to Schemion he shook his head and folded his 
in frustration.
Muhlocker had risked it all with and needed help against the of Benger.
The flop was 
and Schemion shook his head some more miming that he wished that he had pushed all in after all.
The turn 
and river gave the two players in the pot a chop and Muhlocker wriggled free to stay alive.
Just after his lucky split pot, Thomas Muhlocker three-bet shoved again and was called by initial raiser Dimitar Danchev with the 
. The Austrian only had the and was out five community cards later.
