Carl Shaw opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ido Aboudi on the button.
Aboudi called a 55,000 bet from Shaw on the 6♦7♣Q♠ flop and then Shaw overbet for 280,000 on the 8♦ turn — sending Aboudi into the tank.
Aboudi eventually thought better of it and let his hand go — conceding the pot to Shaw.
Action was heads up with over 300,000 in the middle and 10♠Q♠6♦9♦ on the board when Paul Jurcuta got it in for around 200,000. Simon Wiciak called and turned over K♥Q♣ and he was behind the Q♦10♥ of Jurcuta. The river, however was a J♦ to give Wiciak the straight that sent Jurcuta out of the tournament. Jurcuta is a PokerStars Power Path Gold Path winner and he will take home €23,650 for the effort.
One hand later, Marcin Kacprzak got his last 45,000 in and Vicent Bosca raised from the next seat over. The rest of the table got out of the way and action was heads up with Kacprzak at risk.
Marcin Kacprzak: J♣9♣
Vicent Bosca: 6♠6♦
The board ran out 7♥2♣4♠Q♠6♥ and the sixes held for Bosca to eliminate Kacprzak from the tournament.
In a blind versus blind situation, Ezequiel Waigel raised to 50,000 from the small blind. [Removed:599] in the big blind eventually called.
On the flop 6♠J♥6♣, both players checked. Then on the turn 10♥, Waigel bet 85,000. [Removed:601] didn't back down and called to see the 8♦ on the river where Waigel decided to check.
[Removed:601] took a moment to make a decision, and finally bet 200,000 chips. Waigel snap folded.
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and Vlantouts Kourka was at risk for 360,000 on the button against Marcin Kacprzak in the small blind.
Vlantouts Kourka: J♠J♥
Marcin Kacprzak: K♦Q♦
Both players connected on the Q♥J♣5♥ flop but Kourka's set was way out in front. The board completed with the 3♥ on the turn and the 4♣ river as Kacprzak paid the bet.
Smain Mamouni raised 290,000 and Paul Jurcuta went into the tank on the button. After three time banks, Jurcuta called off his stack of 275,000, and the blinds quickly folded.
Paul Jurcuta: A♦Q♣
Smain Mamouni: 9♥9♠
It was a classic race and the Q♥7♣3♥ flop gave Jurcuta the lead with a pair of queens. The J♥ fell on the turn, giving Mamouni a flush draw but the A♠ improved Jurcuta to two pair as he doubled through Mamouni.
Pedro Lopes opened to 35,000 from the hijack and action folded over to Aristidis Theodoridis, who announced he was all in for his last 205,000 from the small blind. Santiago Plante called cold from the big blind to put Theodoridis at risk and Lopes quickly folded.
Aristidis Theodoridis: A♦7♣
Santiago Plante: A♣K♣
Plante had Theodoridis dominated, and the 7♠8♦K♦9♣3♣ runout kept Plante best with a pair of kings — eliminating Theodoridis from the tournament and extending Plante's chip lead.
After an open by Carl Shaw on the button, Juan Carlos Vecino three-bet in the small blind. Shaw eventually called and discovered a A♥8♠4♥ flop.
Vecino bet again, adding 125,000 chips to the pot, and Shaw made the call. But on the turn 5♥, when he asked for 250,000 chips more, Vecino saw Shaw going all in for approximately 2,000,000 chips. Clearly covered, Vecino snap folded.

Alexander Wahl opened 100,000 on the button, leaving just 30,000 behind and Daniel Smiljkovic attempted to put in a reraise from the big blind but misclicked and was forced to call.
When the 7♦4♦2♠ flop hit the felt, Smiljkovic bet 30,000 and Wahl took his time on a decision. After using four time banks, he made the call.
Alexander Wahl: A♥8♦
Daniel Smiljkovic: Q♠J♦
Wahl was ahead with ace-high and the A♠ turn sealed his double up as the K♠ fell on the river to complete the board.
