Jose Angulo opened to 800 in the hijack and Ashkan Fattahi three-bet jammed a stack of 13,800 from the button. Angulo called with a bigger stack.
Ashkan Fattahi: A♦4♦
Jose Angulo: 8♣8♠
Fattahi flopped a wheel draw on the flop of 10♠2♥5♠ but couldn't improve as the board ran out 9♠7♣ to mark his elimination.
Majid Nadeem had already raised from the hijack and was facing a three-bet to 11,600 from the big blind. Nadeem shoved for around 35,000 total and Battaglia asked for a count before deciding to call and put Nadeem at risk.
Majid Nadeem: A♣Q♣
Antonio Battaglia: A♠K♥
Battaglia had Nadeem dominated, but the 7♦Q♠8♠ flop vaulted Nadeem into the lead after pairing his queen.
The 3♥ turn changed nothing, but the dealer brought the K♦ on the river — putting Battaglia back on top with a pair of kings and eliminating Nadeem from the tournament.
Xavier Cortazar opened from under the gun to 1,000, and was called only once, but Razvan Belea in the small blind.
The 2023 EPT Paris winner checked on the flop 8♥A♣J♣, and Cortazar checked back. So they moved on to the turn 8♣, where Belea took the lead and bet 1,200. But in front of him, Cortazar raised to 3,400. Belea eventually called.
The 10♦ landed on the river, and Cortazar moved all in. Belea, who checked, quickly folded.
Alexandre Reard completed in the small blind and called a raise from Yuriy Boyko in the big blind.
Reard checked on the flop of 5♣7♦Q♦ and Boyko continued for 1,000. Reard called. Reard checked again on the 10♣ turn and Boyko sized up to 3,500. Reard laid it down.
In a hand that lasted more than 10 minutes, Igor Pihela Jr opened to 800 from under the gun, and was called by Gab Yong Kim in middle position. In the cutoff, Maria Ho chose to three-bet to 2,800. But Markkos Ladev on the button wasn't done yet, and he four-bet to 5,600. Pihela and Kim folded at this point, while Ho made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♣4♠J♥, Ho checked and saw Ladev bet 2,500. She called, then check-called again when Ladev fired a second barrel of 4,500 on the turn A♥.
The 4♥ landed on the river, and Ho checked a third time. But after Ladev bet 6,000, she raised to 13,000. Ladev took a few seconds to think about it, but eventually folded.
Vitor Martini opened in early position and got three callers to see a flop four ways.
The flop of 6♦2♥7♠ checked through and Martini bet 2,100 when checked to on the Q♣ turn. Only Mohamad El-Rais called out of the small blind.
El-Rais checked again on the 9♠ turn and Martini fired a bet of 5,800. El-Rais called and showed A♥Q♠ for a pair of queens, which would good against the underpair of Maritni with 5♣5♠.

Ismet Oral was out of position in a heads-up pot against Yaman Nakdali on a board of A♠6♥Q♦7♣.
Oral bet 7,000 on the turn and Nakdali called. Oral then checked on the 2♣ river and Nakdali checked back. Oral showed K♥6♦ for a pair of sixes, but it was no good against the pair of queens of his opponent with K♣Q♥.
