For only three big blinds, Rocco Palumbo was all in while Vebjorn Monstad and Joao Vieira played for a far bigger side pot. Apparently there was a check-raise from 4,000 to 10,000 on the turn and Monstad then pushed the river for 25,875. Vieira was unsure what to do and eventually folded after getting the exact count.
Palumbo mucked his and Monstad flipped over the for a pair of fours only.
John Daly was also sent to the rail not long ago after losing a flip with ace-king to the pocket tens of Luca Pagano.
Julian Thomas has been spotted on the rail and the German reported his bustout as follows. Kamran Aliyev opened from the hijack and Artem Litvinov called, as did Thomas in the small blind. On the flop both players checked and the turn saw a bet of 1,000 by Thomas. Aliyev raised to 3,500 and the German pushed for 7,000 more once Litvinov had folded.
Aliyev was apparently afraid of pocket jacks as per table chat after the showdown and then called with the for trips sevens while Thomas had queen-jack for top pair only and the river bricked.
On a river of Victor Ilyukhin made a huge overbet to 51,500 and ended up getting called by Rasmus Agerskov. Ilyukhin tabled and Agerskov went to muck his cards. "Doesn't he have to show?" asked Ilyukhin, but the dealer said no. The confusion was that Ilyukhin hadn't actually gone all-in, so Agerskov was perfectly at liberty to muck his cards. With that Ilyukhin moved up to over 100,000 in chips, with Agerskov dropping back to starting stack
Felix Bleiker, who played in the 25k High Roller and final tabled the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event in Berlin last year, is nowhere to be found anymore. The Swiss had recently shoved for around 10,000 without getting called, but now his seat is vacant.
Luciana Manolea as well as Vojtech Ruzicka are taking the opposite direction.
2015 November Niner and serial qualifier Pierre Neuville had to look twice on the river of a board after paying off a bet by Anthony Zinno. The American had fired 5,000 and Neuville eventually called to get shown for top pair. That was enough to win the pot and both players are now evenly stacked.

Yucel Eminoglu opened to 1,050 and was called by one opponent before Edouard Mignot three-bet to 3,400. Eminoglu checked for the stacks of his opponents, who both had around 19,000 behind, and then made the call. The third player in the hand also called with the flop coming .

Alfie Adam raised a Paul-Francois Tedeschi bet to 6,000 on the flop and the Frenchman called out of the big blind. Both then checked the turn and the river to see Tedeschi flip over as winning hand. Tedeschi has doubled up his starting stack and another Frenchman is doing even better.
Fabrice Soulier has almost four times the starting stack, straight among the top counts right now.
Kamran Aliyev raised to 1,000 from early position and found two callers before Mike McDonald three-bet from the big blind to 4,500. Aliyev then raised to 12,500 and McDonald shoved for his remaining 26,675.
