Bleron Maliqi moved all in from under the gun for his last 21,000, which was called by Grzegorz Grochulski, in the big blind.
Bleron Maliqi: Q♥6♥
Grzegorz Grochulski: 7♦2♠
The board ran out 4♣10♦2♥9♠7♣; Grochulski's inferior holding upgraded to two pair by the river and Maliqi was sent to the rail.
Thomas Syversen raised to 16,000 and Matteo Calzoni moved all in for 180,000. Syversen made the call with the bigger stack and players flipped their cards for a huge all in.
Matteo Calzoni: A♦Q♦
Thomas Syversen: A♠K♣
The board ran out 4♥10♥4♠7♦J♠. Neither player improved and so Syversen held with his ace king high and the pair of fours on board. Calzoni was eliminated from the tournament as the bubble fast approached.
Michal Kovac shoved all in from late position for around 42,000, Peter Onnestam called with the biggest stack, and Krzysztof Mateusz Wawryniuk called with a short stack. The players flipped their cards.
Krzysztof Mateusz Wawryniuk: A♥A♠
Michal Kovac: K♣10♠
Peter Onnestam: A♣7♣
The board ran out 4♥4♠9♥K♠10♦. Wawryniuk held with two pair, his pocket aces and the fours on board to win the main pot. Kovac made two pair, kings and tens to win the side pot, although his stack was still reduced.
Dimitri Steinfeuer opened to 16,000 from middle position, Berkan Munar called in the small blind and Wooseok Kim moved all in for 59,000 from the big blind. Steinfeuer moved all in himself and Munar folded.
Wooseok Kim: A♠J♦
Dimitri Steinfeuer: Q♣J♠
The flop brought bad news for Kim as it came 6♠Q♠7♦. However, the A♦ turn saw Kim retake the lead. The 2♥ river changed nothing and Kim doubled up.

Action folded around to Georgis Chatzipanagiotis, who pushed all in from the button for around 40,000. Jari-Pekka Juhola isolated from the small blind with the bigger stack and the players flipped their cards.
Georgis Chatzipanagiotis: Q♦4♦
Jari-Pekka Juhola: A♣10♣
The board ran out J♣J♥4♣4♥10♠. Chatzipanagiotis paired his four on the flop and made a full house, fours full of jacks on the turn to win the pot. He doubled his stack and Juhola was left short.
"Good timing!", said a neutral player.
The pot stood at approximately 40,000 with two players looking at a board that read Q♠9♣6♠10♠.
Davis Mihelsons, in early position, bet out for 20,000. Michael Chiminolli, in the hijack, made the call.
The 7♣ river saw Mihelsons place a block bet of 8,000, to which Chiminolli responded with a raise to 20,000. Mihelsons thought for some time before making the call; Chiminolli tabled A♠J♦ for ace-high, while Mihelsons dragged in the pot with 6♦6♣ for a set of sixes.
