The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for Talbot to turn the pair of aces and improve to two pair to eliminate the Day 1B chip leader in 25th place for €28,130.

Vilmunen on Crumbs

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tobias Peters was in the tank in the big blind facing an all-in shove from small blind Jani Vilmunen worth 610,000. Peters dropped in calling chips and tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Spades} and was up against {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop gave Peters nearly a lock on things, and the {j-Spades} turn made the river irrelevant.

Vilmunen got up to leave but Peters pointed out he had a covering stack, as Peters had only 475,000.

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for Levinskas to hit two pair to double up for the 935,000 he had behind.

Faggiolli Almost Doubles Just Before the Break

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Carlos Branco raised to 55,000 from the hijack and Ugo Faggioli three-bet to 165,000 from the button. Action folded back to Branco who called.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, Branco check-called the 155,000 continuation-bet of Faggioli.

They both checked through the {4-Diamonds} on the turn to the {4-Spades} on the river. Branco looked at Faggioli's stack and decided to bet 500,000. Faggioli considered his options as he had just over 600,000 behind and eventually made the call. Branco tabled {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for the pair of fours on the board with the ace-kicker for Faggioli to scoop the pot with {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for two pair, tens and fours.

The 25 remaining players have gone for another 20-minute break.

Mertengren Calls the Bluff

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The board read {8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} with almost 300,000 in the middle.

Dimitrios Michailidis (small blind) looked at Andriy Mertengren's stack (big blind) and decided to bet 600,000. Mertengren contemplated for a bit and then called for the 275,000 he had behind. Michailidis had to show {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for the bluff and Mertengren doubled up with {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for the turned pair of queens.
