We aren't exactly sure what happened pre flop, but three players got their stacks in before a single community card was dealt.
Tamer Kamel: 
Dzmitry Urbanovich: 
Iliodoros Kamatakis: 
Kamel and Urbanovich were both at risk as Kamatakis had them covered. Urbanovich was the shortest of the bunch with about 33,000 in chips. Kamel had 30,000 more than that, Kamatakis had plenty to spare.
The 
flop spelled doom for Kamel as both his opponents out flopped him. The 
on the turn and on the river couldn't save him and he exited the tournament.
Meanwhile Urbanovich tripled and Kamatakis broke about even.

We didn't see what happened, but we do know that France's Ludovic Riehl just doubled through Mathew Frankland. The latter's cards had already been mucked, while Riehl had the 
laid out in front of him on a 
board.
Meanwhile, both Benjamin Pollak and Jean Muller have been eliminated from the tournament.

Michael Tureniec opened from under the gun plus two for 4,500. Italian player Elesion Tusha was seated in the hijack and made it 11,400. From the small blind Lukas Berglund cold four-bet to 22,000 and Tureniec got out of the way. Tusha pushed all in for about 60,000 and Berglund made the call.
Elesion Tusha: 
Lukas Berglund: 
The flop came jack-high but Tusha still had four outs: 
. The 
on the turn took away those four queens though and the 
on the river was of no influence whatsoever.
Lukas Berglund was already the chip leader of the tournament, and just added some more for good measures.

Benjamin Pollak defended his big blind and check-called on a 
board only to see his opponent move all in with pocket fours on the river. The Frenchman was left crippled after the hand and disappeared shortly after. Xia Lin received the chips and doubled up.
Then we noticed the preflop five bet from Darie Vlad to 44,400 and Antoine Junillon called to see the 
flop. Vlad made the continuation bet for 21,200 and Junillon moved all in with the 
. Vlad made the call with the superior 
and stayed strong after the 
turn and the 
river.

Most players will look disappointed to be out. Some will even look disappointed to be still in. Others though must handle the conflicting need to be both out and in at the same time, as the PokerStars Blog reports here.
Sorel Mizzi had some fun with new PokerNews presenter Jennifer Robles, so to find out more about his personality she asked a few players to describe him in one word.
Stefano Garbarino opened the action with a raise to 5,000 and Roberto Perez Gomez clicked it back to 8,000 - call. On the 
flop Garbarino called 8,000 from his opponent. He repeated that on the turn for 25,000, Perez Gomez then checked the 
river.
Garbarino moved all in and the Spaniard tank called with the 
. Garbarino flipped over and Perez Gomez' move went terribly wrong.
