In a classic flip between two German High Roller regulars, Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang clashed with Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph and needed his queens to hold.
Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang: 
Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph: 
Vogelsang retained his lead on the 
flop and 
turn but Barry Greenstein appeared on the 
river.
Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer limped the small blind and called a raise to 77,500 by Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz in the big blind. They headed to the 
flop on which O'Dwyer check-called a bet of 104,000 and the 
turn was checked by both.
O'Dwyer then bet the river for 114,000 and Holz called to get shown 
as the winning hand by O'Dwyer.
Level: 15
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 2,500
David "dpeters17" Peters min-raised to 32,000 in the cutoff and was called by Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle on the button. Hungary's "xnrobix" opted to three-bet jam his shorter stack of 367,740 in the big blind and that was called only by Rolle.

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle: 
The 
flop favored Rolle and he remained in the lead throughout the 
turn and 
river.
The last-minute re-entries of Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet and Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas were not crowned with success as both hit the rail in quick succession once the field was reduced to the final four tables.
As far as Van Fleet was concerned, he had a kicker problem with the as Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford had him dominated with the 
. That didn't change at all on the 
board to eliminate Van Fleet.
At almost the same time on separate tables, Andrey "Kroko-dill" Zaichenko and Ole "wizowizo" Schemion were sent to the rail to reduce the field to the final four tables.
Schemion had seen his stack plummet in the past half an hour and eventually got it in via three-bet shove, which was called by initial raiser "hello_totti" with the far superioe stack.
Ole "wizowizo" Schemion:
"hello_totti": 
The tens held up as no ace, jack or spades appeared on the 
board.
In a classic flip right after returning from the break, Joao “Naza114” Vieira was at risk against table big stack Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger.
Joao “Naza114” Vieira: 
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger:
Eibinger missed the 
flop but nailed the turn and river. The Austrian is the second_biggest stack on the table right now, trailing only Mike "SirWatts" Watson.
There are currently 35 players remaining and the last three casualties were Sam "SamSquid" Grafton, "ShippityShip" and Niklas "Lena900" Astedt. Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet was also ousted and re-entered right before the registration closed.
All players are now on a scheduled five-minute break.
Level: 14
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 2,000
