Mathias Haugen was all in for around 1,700,000 and Haitao Luan put him at risk. The cards were already out and the dealer was ready to go.
Mathias Haugen: 4♦4♣
Haitao Luan: A♦K♠
The board ran out 7♦7♥3♣10♥5♣ and the fours held to secure the double for Haugen.
Action was three ways to the flop of 5♠Q♦3♠, where Mathias Haugen followed a pair of checks with a bet of 450,000. Andrej Desset folded in the big blind before Eduard Barsegyan made the call.
The 3♣ turn saw Barsegyan tap the table again, with Haugen continuing for 500,000. Barsegyan then raised enough to put his opponent all in, sending Haugen into the tank.
After taking some time to reach a decision, Haugen slid his cards to the dealer. Barsegyan nodded his head while revealing the Q♥ for two pair, taking down a nice pot.
After a series of bets and raises on a flop of 10♣8♦6♥, Vasyl Laba found himself all in and at risk against Ferdinando D'Alessio.
Vasyl Laba: J♦J♥
Ferdinando D'Alessio: 9♦7♣
Laba's overpair was crushed by D'Alessio, who had flopped the nut-straight. He picked up two outs when the board paired on the 8♠ turn, but could not find a jack on the A♠ river, resulting in his elimination. D'Alessio scooped a massive pot, soaring past ten million chips in the process.
Meanwhile at another table, Miltiadis Kyriakides was also eliminated from the tournament.
Joshua James raised to 240,000 before Lucien Cohen made it 700,000 from the next seat over. The rest of the table was out of the way and James shoved with more. Cohen called for 3,670,000 and the cards were turned up.
Lucien Cohen: J♥J♦
Joshua James: A♠Q♣
The board ran out 8♥2♦10♦3♦10♣ and the jacks held to secure a comeback double for Cohen.
Meanwhile, Nariman Yaghmai was eliminated at a nearby table.
Ankit Ahuja opened to 210,000 from early position and Dalibor Mijic put in a three-bet to 650,000 from middle position. Ahuja made the call.
The flop came 10♠8♦7♣ and Ahuja check-called a 650,000 bet from Mijic.
Both players checked the 8♥ turn to see the 3♣ on the river. Ahuja bet 700,000 and after about 45 seconds Mijic mucked his hand.
Meanwhile at another table Jose Mesas was recently eliminated.

Frederik Johansen: A♣K♥
Sergi Miralles: 7♠7♦
Miralles was in front to start the hand, improving to a set of sevens on the 2♥7♥8♦ flop. The 9♠ turn and Q♦ river changed nothing, as Day 1b chip leader Johansen hit the rail.
Level: 30
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
Daniel Herrera led out for 450,000 on the J♥6♥3♥ flop before Marcos Diego slid out a raise to 1,200,000.
