David Petrzelka: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Matthias Tikerpe: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop was no threat for the Czech yet, but the {J-Spades} turn gave Tikerpe plenty of outs. Sure enough, the {7-Spades} came on the river to improve Tikerpe to a straight and eliminate Petrzelka in 21st place for

Jamie O'Connor

Over on the outer tables, Georges Hanna raised to 105,000 and Upeshka De Silva in the cutoff eyed the stack of Hanna before calling in the cutoff. Jamie O'Connor in the small blind quickly three-bet to 440,000 and Hanna moved all in for just over two million in chips. De Silva folded and O'Connor snap-called for around 1.8 million.

Jamie O'Connor: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Georges Hanna: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

O'Connor was covered by only a few big blinds and had the best of it preflop, but the {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop gave Hanna a pair of aces. Neither the {8-Diamonds} turn nor the {10-Diamonds} river improved O'Connor and he was eliminated in 23rd place for €50,575
