Ido Aboudi opened 16,000 under the gun, and the action folded around to Sebastian Sulzbach in the big blind who slid forward his entire stack of about 180,000. Aboudi went into the tank, eventually getting time called.
The floor gave 30 seconds and declared his hand dead as he failed to act.
Jakub Gago opened to 18,000 in early position. He was then raised by Giovanni Boon in the small blind, who made it 55,000. Gago thought for a bit before reraising all in, while covering Boon. The Belgian sat with 95,000 chips left behind, facing a four-bet for his tournament life.
Boon eventually folded, prompting Gago to let out a sigh of relief as the Pole tabled A♣K♥. Boon also looked relieved, and announced "Ace-queen suited." Gago chipped up while Boon was left with well below average stack as the bubble inched ever closer.
Andres Sendarrubias opened to 18,000 from the small blind, then was called by Espen Nikolaisen who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦10♣Q♥, and Sendarrubias moved directly all in for 39,000. Nikolaisen quickly called with a bigger stack.
Andres Sendarrubias: K♣9♥
Espen Nikolaisen: Q♦7♦
Nikolaisen's top pair held on the turn 8♦, but Sendarrubias was lucky enough to find a straight on the river J♣ to double up.
Level: 18
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Konstantinos Petrakis opened 12,000 in the cutoff and he was faced with a three-bet by chip leader Mengshi Tian next to act to 36,000.
The blinds quickly folded, and Petrakis decided to do the same.
Konstantinos Manousoudakis shoved for his last 17,000 from the hijack and Patrick Weifels called in the big blind.
Konstantinos Manousoudakis: 10♥10♠
Patrick Weifels: J♣10♥
Manousoudakis was ahead with his tens and was able to fade the overcard as the board ran out A♠7♠5♥5♠4♥, keeping him alive as they reach closer to Day 2.
Nicola Noah Karl opens to 12,000 in middle position. Aleksander Sunjevaric three-bets on the button to 28,000.
Karl thought for a minute before four-betting to 58,000, sending the Serb into the tank. After some thinking, Sunjevaric went all in, with the bubble rapidly approaching. Karl eventually folded, and Sunjevaric tabled two jacks as he scooped a huge pot.
"All in and call!" shouted Table 5's dealer. Looking at the action, Lukas Urban was at risk for approximately 120,000 and faced Jacek Skiscim on the button.
Lukas Urban: A♣Q♣
Jacek Skiscim: J♦J♥
It was an easy win for Skiscim who flopped a full house on 6♠J♠6♦7♦Q♦, sending Urban to the rail.
Level: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Three players created a pot of 38,000 and all three checked through to the 9♥7♥4♥7♠ turn.
Alexandru Velcu check-folded to a bet of 13,000 from Jorge Rios but Donato De Bonis made the call.
The 7♠ fell on the river and both players quickly tapped the table. Rios tabled 10♣9♦ and that was good as De Bonis mucked his hand.
