Jorge Cheb was all in for a short stack from the big blind against Petr Khromov in the small blind.
Jorge Cheb: 9♣3♣
Petr Khromov: A♥9♥
Cheb was dominated and got no help as the board ran out 2♠6♠Q♦10♥Q♠ to mark his elimination.
Linda van Ree opened from the hijack, Eros Calderone on the button called and Stylianos Kollatos in the small blind three-bet to 16,000. Both Ree and Calderone elected to see a flop.
All three players checked through to the river as the full board now read 5♦7♦A♦10♠3♦.
Kollatos led out for 25,000; Ree made a quick fold and Calderone made an even quicker call. Kollatos tabled K♦K♠ for the nut flush. Calderone mucked his cards.
Fintan Hand opened to 3,000 from the hijack and Belmehel Dja Daouadji three-bet to 9,000. Hand made the call.
The flop came 5♦4♦3♣. Dja Daouadji checked and Hand bet 6,500.
"Not enough" Dja Daouadji joked as he put in a check-raise to 20,000. Hand responded by moving all for approximately 50,000. Dja Daouadji quickly made the call to put Hand at risk.
"Let's flip" Hand told his opponent, who he had been having a friendly banter with for the last several minutes, as the cards were tabled.
Fintan Hand: 6♠5♣
Belmehel Dja Daouadji: 3♥3♦
"That's not a fair flip!" Hand joked upon seeing Dja Daouadji had flopped bottom set. Hand still had outs to a straight but they did not materalize on the 8♥ turn or J♦ river, resulting in his elimination while Dja Daouadji took down a major pot.
Alex Robles was all in for around 35,000 from the small blind against Ioannis Volos in the big blind, who had him covered.
Alex Robles: K♦Q♥
Ioannis Volos: A♠K♠
Robles was dominated and got no help from the flop of 9♠2♠5♥. The 4♠ turn then gave Volos a flush to have Robles drawing dead before the 5♠ river to mark his elimination.
Eduardo Alfredo Santi raised under the gun to 4,500. In response, Ken Shurink, in early position, three-bet to 16,500.
Santi spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before eventually folding A♣Q♠ face up.
Shurink returned the favour and showed A♥K♣. Santi was dominated, but managed to get away, only losing the minimum.
Jordan Saccucci raised from the cutoff to 4,500. The small blind joined with a call, before Paul Tirnovean reraised to 21,000 in the big blind. Saccucci then four-bet all in, with Tirnovean covering him by 5,000 chips. The small blind folded and Tirnovean made the call. He showed A♦K♣, but Saccucci was favourite to win a huge pot as he tabled K♥K♦.
Kings was still comfortably out in front on the J♥9♦3♦ flop.
No help was offered on the turn either, with the 6♥ hitting the felt, leaving Tirnovean with just three outs on the river.
He missed them all, as the river ran out the 8♣, leaving Tirnovean with just 5,000 left. Meanwhile, Saccucci climbed among the chip leaders, winning a huge pot.
Level: 13
Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500
With the board reading J♥7♦6♦ and over 200,000 chips already in the middle, Michael Mitrione found himself all in and at risk against Wender Cezar Oliveira.
Michael Mitrione: 8♦9♦
Wendar Cezar Oliveira: J♦J♠
Oliveira had flopped top set for the nuts but Mitrione had a massive draw, having both a flush draw and open-ended straight draw. Despite having the nuts Oliveira was close to flipping for the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
The board ran out 2♣K♣. Oliveira faded Mitrione's plethora of outs to send him to the rail and take down what was potentially the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
In a heads-up pot on a flop of 8♦2♠2♥, Luka Bojovic checked from the big blind and Pierre Neuville bet 11,000 from the hijack. Bojovic check-raised to 23,000 and Neuville folded.
The pot stood at approximately 9,500 with two players looking at a full board that read 8♦7♣4♥Q♣8♠.
Martin Paap, in the big blind, led out for 8,500. Kevin Benichou, who was under the gun, thought for some time before finally flicking in one chip for the call. Paap tabled 7♦6♣; a pair of sevens was enough to see his Benichou's cards hit the muck.
