Dan Larsen in the hijack found himself at risk for 41,000 from against Motokatsu Uhara in early position.
Dan Larsen: 6♥6♣
Motokatsu Uhara: A♣K♠
Larsen was on his way to double up after the dealer revealed a flop of 7♦5♠Q♥ and the 8♦ on the turn. But the A♠ landed on the river to give the best pair to Uhara and eliminate Larsen.
Adem Marjanovic opened 8,000 under the gun and Laurent Saby jammed his remaining 34,500 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back to Marjanovic and he tossed in a call.
Laurent Saby: A♥K♣
Adem Marjanovic: 7♣7♥
It was a race and the 5♣5♠4♥ flop was no help for Saby, but the K♦ turn gave him the lead and the 3♠ river was a brick as he raked in his double up.
Tarik Ozdemir's cards went on their backs preflop when he was in middle position, as his 63,500 chip stack was called by Silvio Giuliano under the gun.
Tarik Ozdemir: A♣Q♥
Silvio Giuliano: 9♣9♠
The dealer fanned a board of 8♥8♣A♦K♣4♠, which gave two pair to Ozdemir who won the flip and secured a double up.

Kamil Szewczyk opened 6,000 in the hijack and Patrick Schratz three-bet 15,000 next to act. The action folded back to Szewcyk and he made the call.
When the 9♦8♦5♣ flop hit the felt, Szewczyk check-folded to a continuation bet of 15,000.
Laurent Vauquelin was in the small blind, and Moritz Urbanski in the big blind, each put 22,000 in the middle before seeing the J♣8♥2♥ flop.
Vauquelin check-called a bet of 20,000, and the A♣ fell on the turn.
Vauquelin checked again before Urbanski fired 50,000 into the middle, leaving just 100,000 behind. Vauquelin check-raised all-in, covering Urbanski.
After taking about 40 seconds, Urbanski made the call.
Moritz Urbanski: A♦J♥
Laurent Vauquelin: Q♥10♥
Urbanski had the lead with top two pair but, the 7♥ landed on the river, giving Vauquelin a flush to score a massive pot and send Urbanski to the rail.
Marin Prvan opened to 6,500 from middle position, and he was called by Dylan Lambert on the button. Then in the small blind, Konstantinos Stroulis "wanted to raised to 22,000", but "was confused" so he only raised to 12,000. Nothing to worry his two opponents of course, who called.
On the flop of K♥6♥3♠, Stroulis and Prvan checked to Lambert, who bet 14,000. Stroulis called, and he was the only one to do so. But it was the last action of the hand, as both players checked on the turn 2♥ and the river 10♥.
Smiling, Stroulis didn't want to show his cards at first, but he revealed K♣K♦. However, Lambert had 5♥5♦ for a flush hit on the river, so he won the pot.
Nicola Karl was already all in on the Q♣10♥2♣6♠ turn, but there was still action between Fabio Muhr and Marin Prvan.
Muhr bet 18,000 into the pot of about 50,000, and Prvan raised to 39,000. Muhr tanked for about a minute before tossing his hand into the muck.
Nicola Karl: 5♥5♠
Marin Prvan: A♦K♥
Karl stood up from the table as he rolled over his hand, but was pleasantly surprised when he saw he was ahead. However, that feeling didn't last long as the dreaded A♣ peeled off on the river, sending him out of the tournament.
Tomas Pinkevicius opened to 6,000 from middle position, but saw Slobodan Trajkovski three-bet to 17,500 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Pinkevicius decided to go all in for approximately 35,000. Trajkovski snap-called.
Tomas Pinkevicius: K♣Q♣
Slobodan Trajkovski: A♣A♠
The dealer fanned a board of 7♦6♣5♠J♦Q♠, so Pinkevicius had to leave the tournament area as he was eliminated.
