Daniel Pastor was all in for around 160,000 in the big blind and Aristidis Theodoridis put him at risk from the button.
Daniel Pastor: A♠8♣
Aristidis Theodoridis: K♣J♠
The board ran out 9♦5♦7♥3♣4♣ and Pastor held on with ace-eight to double through Theodoridis.
Mircea Flutur opened to 18,000 first-to-act and was called by Markku Koplimaa in the big blind.
Koplimaa check-called an 11,000 bet from Flutur on the K♦2♦5♠ flop and then a hefty 50,000 bet from Flutur on the 10♦ turn.
Both players checked on the 8♠ river and Koplimaa showed K♠3♠ for a pair of kings. Flutur couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Koplimaa.
With 130,000 chips left, Erik Friberg moved all in from middle position, and he was called by Hubert Matuszewski in the hijack.
Erik Friberg: A♣K♠
Hubert Matuszewski: A♦K♣
There was a little smile on every face when both players flipped their cards. And as expected, they took their chips back and split the blinds on 5♦7♥8♥9♣6♣.
Daniyar Aubakirov was all in and at risk for 205,000 against Andrea Dato.
Daniyar Aubakirov: A♥K♣
Andrea Dato: J♥10♥
Aubakirov improved to a pair of aces on the flop of 3♦A♠6♠ and the runout of 2♦K♦ confirmed him a double.
Marius Iftimia opened to 16,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 44,000 by Julio Chia Cabrera in the hijack. Action folded back around to Iftimia, who announced he was all in for around 120,000 total. Cabrera quickly called and hands were revealed.
Marius Iftimia: A♥A♣
Julio Chia Cabrera: J♥J♣
Iftimia was in good shape to double with his rockets, but the 5♠7♦J♦ flop vaulted Cabrera into the lead with a set of jacks.
The 7♠ turn and 8♥ river failed to improve Iftimia and he was eliminated.
Patrik Antonius opened to 20,000 in the cutoff before Rory Jennings moved all in for 216,000 on the button. Jennings had lost a good portion of his stack in a previous hand and was at risk after Antonius called.
Rory Jennings: A♦10♠
Patrik Antonius: A♠K♣
Jennings could not catch up on the 7♦6♠J♦ flop, but the 2♦ turn brought a flush draw. The dealer then turned over the J♣ on the river, sending Jennings to the rail.
In a battle between the blinds, Luis Gutierrez checked on the flop of 5♣Q♥6♣ and called a bet of 8,000 from Kayhan Mokri.
Gutierrez checked again on the 9♠ turn and Mokri checked back. Gutierrez checked once more as the 4♦ river completed the board and folded as Mokri announced a bet of 32,000.
Action was caught with Lucas Scafini and Paawan Bansal both all in, but with Bansal at risk for 132,000 chips.
Paawan Bansal: A♦7♠
Lucas Scafini: K♦Q♣
Both players hit a pair on the flop 4♥9♥K♥, but the better one was for Scafini. Bansal could still hope for an ace, a four or a flush to split after the turn 10♥. But the river card was the J♦, and he was eliminated in 133rd place for €15,550.
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 16,000 from early position before Patrick Caveriviere shoved his last 69,000. Daniel Pastor shoved behind from the small blind for 306,000 and Chaoui took a moment of consideration before he got out of the way. Action was heads up and Caveriviere was at risk.
Patrick Caveriviere: Q♠J♥
Daniel Pastor: J♦J♣
The board ran out Q♥K♠3♥5♠2♥ and Caveriviere made a pair of queens on the flop to secure the double.
