Thomas Weinmeyer opened to 25,000 from the hijack and Alessandro Barda moved all in from the button for 135,000. Omilescu asked for a count and then made the call with a covering stack. Weinmeyer got out of the way leaving Barda all in and at risk.
Alessandro Barda: A♣7♣
Dorin Omilescu: K♦K♥
Omilescu was well ahead with pocket-kings and remained so on the Q♠4♠5♠9♦Q♦ runout to take down a decent pot and secure Barda's elimination.
Jeppe Bisgaard was seen doubling through Daniel Clausell with the board showing 4♠5♠K♦K♥Q♥.
While Clausell's hand had already been mucked, Bisgaard showed A♠K♠ for trips to double up his stack of 280,000.
The field has been sent on another 25-minute break.
The tournament is now down to 397 players.

Marius Iftimia opened to 30,000 from the hijack and Alexandre Viard defended from the big blind.
The flop came J♦7♥4♠ and Viard check-called a 20,000 continuation bet from Viard.
Iftimia bet again on the A♣ turn, this time for 40,000 which was enough to force a fold from his opponent.
There was a three-way all in at Table 36 between Carlos Leiva, Sandro Pitzanti and Ferdinando Dalessio with Dalessio having both players covered.
Carlos Leiva: A♣A♦
Sandro Pitzanti: Q♠Q♥
Ferdinando Dalessio: J♣J♥
Leiva's aces held up for a triple as the board ran out 5♠K♥2♠7♥6♦, while Pitzanti's queens were good to win a decent side pot.
Alexandre Mitjavila opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 100,000 by Peter Tordai in the big blind. Mitjavila called.
Mitjavila called a downbet for 45,000 from Tordai on the 6♣Q♣2♠ flop, but folded facing another barrel of 95,000 on the A♠ turn — conceding the pot to Tordai.
