The action folded around to Elias Fisz in the small blind who moved all in, covering the 89,000 remaining for Cristian Espineira Larrosa in the big blind, who quickly called for his tournament life.
Cristian Espineira Larrosa: A♦9♦
Elias Fisz: 2♦2♥
It was a coin-flip preflop, but when the board ran out A♥J♠5♣8♥J♦, it was the ace-nine of Larrosa that came out on top to score a full double up off Fisz.
Level: 20
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
The final 44 players have stepped out for their last 30-minute break of the day. Here's a few of the highlights from the previous level of play.
There was a three-way all in at Table 1 as Leonardo Patacconi moved all in for 210,000 before Vicente Delgado reshoved a bigger stack and Martin Guerrero called with both players covered.
Leonardo Patacconi: A♦J♣
Vicente Delgado: K♣10♥
Martin Guerrero: 8♦8♥
The flop landed 9♥J♠9♦ to give Patacconi the lead with a pair of jacks and the runout of 6♦J♦ improved him to a full house as Guerrero's two pair was counterfeited to earn Delgado a big side pot.
All the chips hit the middle preflop between Artur Martirosian in the big blind and Nicola Grieco under the gun, who was at risk for his remaining 267,000.
Nicola Grieco: 10♠10♥
Artur Martirosian: A♣A♠
Grieco was in rough shape and in need of help to stay alive. The flop came 8♠7♦6♠ to give Grieco more hope with a straight draw to go along with his tens. The turn brought one of the outs he needed when the 10♦ rolled off and Grieco yelled out in excitement. The 5♦ completed the runout and Grieco scored a full double up off Martirosian.
Kiryl Asaulenka got all in preflop for 299,000 from the big blind against Arunas Sapitavicius in the cutoff, who had him covered.
Kiryl Asaulenka: K♦K♣
Arunas Sapitavicius: A♠Q♦
Asaulenka was a big favorite with his pocket kings, but the the dealer fanned the flop of 3♥10♥A♥ and Sapitavicius took a huge lead with a pair of aces and neither player had a heart for the flush draw.
The turn was the A♣ which still left Asaulenka looking for one of two remaining kings. The river was the 7♣ and spelled the end for Asaulenka, who finished 45th for €17,250.
Juan Pardo was all in for around 100,000 against table chip leader Mike Watson.
Juan Pardo: 7♣7♠
Mike Watson: A♠3♠
It wasn't a flip for long as the flop landed 2♣3♣3♦ to give Watson trips and he only improved as the runout of Q♥3♥ gave him quads to mark Pardo's elimination.
"Jesus Christ," reacted table mate Jason Wheeler.
Around the same time, Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel was eliminated in 49th place for €17,250.
Aliaksandr Shylko opened to 20,000 from the small blind and Marcello Miniucchi, with another 3,000 behind, called for his tournament life from the big blind.
Marcello Miniucchi: A♠7♦
Aliaksandr Shylko: 6♠3♣
The Q♠Q♦4♠ flop kept Miniucchi ahead, but the 6♣ turn paired up Shylko. The 9♠ completed the board and confirmed the pot in Shylko's favor.
