In a blind versus blind situation, Michele Guerrini in the small blind limp-called a bet of 35,000 by Aksel Aygun in the big blind.
On the 8♣Q♠2♣ flop, Guerrini check-called a continuation-bet of 30,000, followed by a second barrel of 50,000 on the turn 8♠.
Finally, on the 7♥ river, Aygun bet 110,000 and Guerrini check-called a third time, but he had to muck after Aygun revealed K♠K♦.
Umit Sadi was all in for 67,000 from early position, Teodor Evstratiev called for his last 16,000 in the cutoff, and Gaelle Baumann had both players at risk from the big blind.
Teodor Evstratiev: A♥9♥
Umit Sadi: A♠7♥
Gaelle Baumann: 7♣7♠
Baumann was ahead with her pair of sevens, and the 5♣4♥Q♦2♥J♣ board providing no help to either Evstratiev or Sadi who were both sent to the rail.
Federico Macori raised to 30,000 in early position as action folded to big blind Mihaita Croitoru, who pushed all in for 85,000. Macori asked for a count before calling.
Mihaita Croitoru: A♣9♣
Federico Macori: A♠10♦
Croitoru was dominated as both players hit their ace on the 2♠8♣A♥ flop. The turn, though, brought the 9♦ and Croitoru took the lead with two pair.
The river Q♠ was safe for Croitoru and he doubled up.
At the same table, Steve O'Dwyer is sitting behind a massive stack of more than 1,500,000.
Silviu Baltateanu bet 60,000 from the button on a flop of 8♠10♠8♦ and Diego Rodriguez called under the gun.
Both players checked the 10♦ turn and Rodriguez also checked the Q♦ river. Baltateanu then bet another 100,000.
Baltateanu called the clock on Rodriguez after only a few seconds, and the floor ruled Rodriguez should be given more time.
"I've never called time in my life," Baltateanu told Rodriguez, who continued to ponder the decision for another minute.
"What do you have? Thinking all in? Thinking fold," Baltateanu asked as he interrogated Rodriguez. Rodriguez eventually slid his cards into the muck.
"I'll show one time, for you," Baltateanu said as he hovered his cards over the table. Rodriguez shook his head and Baltateanu returned his cards face down.
Marcin Dziubdziela has built up a stack of more than 1,000,000 at this table, while Anthony Khouzami is also at this table with an above-average stack.
With the biggest stack of the table, Petre Ionescu opened on the button, and Ara Melkisetian in the big blind shoved for 220,000. Ionescu went into the tank, and eventually called.
Ara Melkisetian: Q♦Q♣
Petre Ionescu: A♦10♥
The board J♣6♥9♦K♦10♦ didn't change anything, and Melkisetian doubled up.
A pot of around 150,000 was already in the middle as Abdullah Turan and Boris Angelov went to the turn on a board of 6♣J♠10♣K♥.
Angelov, on the button, then slid forward a bet of 100,000 and Turan responded by moving all in.
Angelov had around 320,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before pushing his cards into the muck.
Piotr Wroblewski opened in early position to 25,000 before it got to Kurt Radinger on the button who moved all in for about 70,000. Saad Shehata was in the small blind and opted to go all in before getting snap-called by Wroblewski, who had both players covered.
Saad Shehata: A♣4♦
Kurt Radinger: A♦8♦
Piotr Wroblewski: K♦K♠
The full board ran out J♠6♦10♣5♦K♥, and with top set, Wroblewski pulled in the chips and scored the double knockout
From middle position, Ankit Ahuja opened to 20,000, and was called by Ran Azor in the cutoff. But on the button, Frank Habermann raised all in for 147,000. In the big blind, Florian Guimond called, and made Ahuja and Azor fold.
Frank Habermann: A♣K♠
Florian Guimond: J♥J♠
On 7♦4♠7♠K♣Q♣, Habermann hit a king on the turn to double up. Down to 64,000 chips, Guimond three-bet to 60,000 from the small blind after Andrei Bocharnikov opened in middle position. Bocharnikov four-bet all in to force Guimond to go all in with his 4,000 last chips.
"I'll wait a few minutes for the pay jump, one elimination is needed," said the Frenchman. He waited four or five minutes. But as there were no eliminations, he eventually called.
Florian Guimond: A♦8♠
Andrei Bocharnikov: A♠K♣
The dealer fanned a board of 5♣9♣4♠4♦9♥. Thanks to a second pair on the river, Guimond was saved by a split.
