Recent EPT Barcelona champion Simon Wiciak, who happens to be seated right next to 2022 EPT London champ Ian Hamilton, opened to 40,000 from the hijack and David Kaufmann defended out of the big blind.
Kaufmann checked on the flop of 9♠5♣K♣ and Wiciak continued for 50,000. Kaufmann didn't want to tangle with the recent EPT champion and laid it down.

Bogdan Berinde opened in late position to 40,000 and got called in the big blind by Victoria Livschitz.
The J♠5♥10♦ flop was checked over to Berinde who continued for 30,000. Livschitz called.
The 2♥ landed on the turn and Livschitz checked again. Berinde sized up to 65,000 and action was back on Livschitz, who went into the tank. After about a minute she announced she was all in and Berinde snap-called.
Victoria Livschitz: 10♣2♣
Bogdan Berinde: A♦A♣
It appeared that Berinde's aces had been cooled off until the dealer burned and turned the A♥ river. Berinde scooped a pile of chips and Livschitz hit the rail after being on the wrong side of a cold deck.

Ara Melkisetian and Eimantas Venckus were heads-up on a board of 5♠K♦5♦4♠9♠ and nearly 300,000 in the pot already when Venckus moved all in from under the gun.
Melkisetian was in the big blind and tanked for a few minutes before calling off his last 340,000. Venckus then showed him A♣A♠ and Melkisetian instantly mucked his hand and shot out of his seat to make his exit. The dealer retrieved his K♣Q♠ and showed it to the table before pushing the big pot over to Venckus.
At another table, Tom Vogelsang bet 150,000 from the button on a flop of 4♠5♦9♦ before Alessio Isaia moved all in from the big blind for 605,000.
Vogelsang asked for a count but mucked before too much time had elapsed.

Simon Wiciak was in an all-in confrontation against David Kaufmann to put the recent EPT Barcelona champion at risk.
Simon Wiciak: KxKx
David Kaufmann: AxQx
Wiciak was in good shape to double up before the flop landed A♦A♠Q♣ to give Kaufmann aces full and have Wiciak drawing to just running quads. The 5♦ turn had him drawing dead and the 8♠ river marked his elimination in unfortunate fashion.

Georgios Vakis raised to 85,000 on the button before Ramon Kropmanns moved all in for 590,000 in the small blind. Vakis turned around to look at the tournament clock and see how many players were remaining before calling.
Ramon Kropmanns: A♠5♠
Georgios Vakis: 10♦10♥
Kropmanns stood up from his seat and put on his backpack when he saw Vakis' pocket pair. The flop, though, brought 9♣A♥4♣ and Kropmanns hit top pair to take the lead.
The board ran out J♠7♣ and Kropmanns doubled up, Vakis slamming his chips on the table in frustration as he paid him off.
