Iurii Brechalov raised to 2,000 from middle position and was called by Massimo Mosele on the button and Zevola Marco in the big blind.
Marco checked to Brechalov on the 7♠3♦3♣ flop and he bet 2,500. Mosele called, but Marco folded.
The J♣ fell on the turn and Brechalov continued for a 3,500 bet. Mosele asked to see Brechalov's remaining stack and tanked for some time before deciding to let his hand go — conceding the pot to Brechalov.
Francesco Delfoco opened to 2,000 from under the gun and received a call by Jussi Hietalahti on the button and Nicolas Chouity in the big blind.
On the flop Qx2♥5♥, Delfoco made a continuation bet of 3,200, but was called only by Hietalahti.
Then the 3♦ landed on the turn, where Delfoco checked. Seeing that, Hietalahti asked for 5,100 chips. But Delfoco quickly raised to 13,000. Hietalahti waited a few seconds, and eventually folded
Igor Picone was all in against Noah Boeken, who had him covered.
Igor Picone: 10♣9♣
Noah Boeken: K♣9♠
Picone was dominated and the flop of J♦2♠K♦ had him drawing thin before the 3♦7♥ runout confirmed his elimination.
Jen Shahade was in the small blind in a heads-up pot against Marcin Kreft in the big blind on a board of 8♥K♦J♥J♦.
Shahade checked on the turn and Kreft checked back. Shahade checked again on the A♣ river and Kreft also checked. Shahade showed A♦Q♥ for a pair of aces and it was good to win the pot.
There was a big pot brewing at Table 2 as Andrija Cvetkovic bet 8,500 from middle position on the board of Q♦6♦9♣J♦ before Dimitrios Angelakos raised to 28,500 from the hijack.
Michal Schuh went deep in the tank from the cutoff and eventually folding, crying "what the f*** is this hand?" as he did so. Cvetkovic called.
Cvetkovic checked on the 2♠ river and Angelakos bet 40,000 to send Cvetkovic into the tank for several minutes before engaging in extensive table talk with his opponent.
"Why didn't you go all in? If you went all in it would have been much easier. I would have snap-called," said Cvetkovic.
"You have ace-queen," Angelakos guessed.
"If I had ace-queen, I would have folded a long time ago," said Cvetkovic. "I have a flush. A small one."
"If you have a flush, it's very interesting," said Angelakos. "Take your time, I won't call clock."
Cvetkovic eventually folded as he flashed the 8♦.
Julien Loire opened from the cutoff to 1,800, then in the big blind, Morten Klein looked at his cards for a long moment, and called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 2♦Q♣5♠, where Loire bet 1,200. Klein snap called, and checked on the turn 10♠.
Loire checked back. The river 8♦ brought no more action, as both players checked again.
Loire though that he had the win, but Klein revealed a tricky K♠K♦ that he just called preflop.
Yi Ang Lin shoved for his last 9,000 on the button and Karim Maekelberg verified his chip count before sticking in a call from the big blind to put Lin at risk.
Yi Ang Lin: A♠5♠
Karim Maekelberg: K♣9♣
Lin held a slight lead, but the 6♥9♥4♠ flop gave Maekelberg a pair of nines and left Lin drawing slim.
The K♠ turn gave Maekelberg two pair and Lin a flush draw, but the K♥ river left Maekelberg with a full house and Lin was eliminated late in the evening.
