In a battle of the blinds, Sven Magirius limped in and Andrew Chen checked before the German check-called 5,000 on the 
flop and 10,000 on the 
turn before check-folding the 
river to a shove worth 51,000.
Christopher Kruk raised to 9,000 from under the gun and Stephen Malone three-bet to 22,500 from the button with Kruk making the call. On the 
flop, Kruk check-called a bet of 18,000 and the duo then checked the 
turn. Kruk fired the 
river for 33,000 and Malone released his cards.
The stacks of other notables on the very same table can be found below.
Ben Heath made it 10,000 to go and Dzmitry Urbanovich slid in a stack of blue 5,000-denomination chips right behind him, enough to cover Heath's stack.
It folded back to Heath and he thought it over for a minute before making the call for his tournament life with the 
. Urbanovich had two overs with the 
and won the flip on a 
board to send Heath home and push up the leader board.
When walking back into the tournament area just after the break was over, Ismael Bojang was spotted at one of the tables right at the entrance and that section didn't belong to the Main Event. Tudor Purice busted the German just before the end of the previous level in a flip with pocket jacks. Bojang had gotten his 86,000 chips in with 
and failed to improve.

Just over 100 players remain after the first level of the day and they are heading into a 20-minute break, in which the black T-100 chips will be removed from play.
With Ian Hunter very short in the big blind, Scott Margereson took the decision to push all-in from the small blind. Unfortunately for him Hunter had a hand that could call.
Margereson had been trying to make a move holding

Namir Mohamed, Michail Karapanos, Miltiadis Kyriakides and Nick Abou Risk have been eliminated. The latter had previously doubled up his short stack and then got it in with 
versus the 
of Nick Petrangelo. A queen and jack hit the flop before another jack on the turn sent Abou Risk out of the door.
Kyriakides got into a raising war with Simen Birkelund and they saw a queen-high flop. Birkelund had flopped a set of queens while Kyriakides' pocket aces were now worthless.
Jean-Noel Thorel defended his big blind to a raise of Scott Margereson and check-called the flop 
for 11,000. On the 
turn, Thorel once again checked and called a second barrel worth 29,500 before doing so again on the river for 20,000. The Frenchman turned over for a pair of sevens and busted straight draw, Margereson claimed the pot with 
.
After an open raise, Adrien Allain three-bet to 17,000 in the cutoff and before Pratyush Buddiga then four-bet from the button for a total of 93,000. Only Allain made the call and it was a big flip.
