Stefan Galic and Stephane Abehassera in early positions raised each other and ended up moving all in preflop, creating a massive 1,100,000 chip-pot.
Stefan Galic: K♣K♥
Stephane Abehassera: A♥A♦
The very low board of 3♥2♥9♣7♣3♣ didn't change anything in this setup. As he had a slightly smaller stack, Galic was eliminated while Abehassera is now a millionaire.
Oleksii Natoptanyi opened to 22,000 from early position and was three-bet to 59,000 by Jeppe Bisgaard in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Natoptanyi, who announced he was all in for approximately 200,000 total. Bisgaard called to put Natoptanyi at risk and a showdown was held.
Oleksii Natoptanyi: K♦K♠
Jeppe Bisgaard: A♣Q♠
Natoptanyi was in good shape to double, but the J♥Q♥Q♣ flop improved Bisgaard to trip queens and left Natoptanyi drawing slim.
The 6♣ turn and 7♥ river bricked out for Natoptanyi and he was eliminated.
Amir Mozaffarian opened from under the gun to 22,000. He was called by middle position, before Victor Prior Fernandez made it 70,000 in the cutoff. Mozaffarian called and middle position folded, sending us heads up to the flop.
It came Q♠10♠K♦ and Mozaffarian checked it to the Spanaird. Fernandez put in a bet of 45,000, causing his German opponent to instantly fold. Both players sat at around average stack following the hand.
Patrick Schratz put out a bet of 30,000 on a flop of 10♦3♥5♦ and was called by Tommy Nguyen.
Schratz continued to apply the pressure with a bet of 65,000 on the 8♦ turn, which brought a fold from Nguyen.
Jon Kyte raised to 21,000 from early position before being faced with a three-bet to 60,000 from Marin Prvan in the hijack.
The action folded back to Kyte, who weighed his options before announcing his all-in, covering Prvan's stack of 525,000.
Prvan gave a surprised look before throwing his cards into the muck, sending another pot Kyte's way.
After a table mate put him on ace-four suited, Kyte responded: "I might be Norwegian, but I'm not that Norwegian."
Frederic Blehaut raised to 20,000 from middle position before Alfred Nader called from the small blind. Daniel Rejc then made it 87,000 to go from the big blind and Blehaut moved all in for 230,000.
Nader sat in the tank but ended up letting his hand go before Rejc snap called to create a heads up showdown.
Frederic Blehaut: 9♠9♦
Daniel Rejc: A♥A♣
Rejc's aces did not get cracked on 4♥Q♦5♠10♠5♥ and he eliminated Blehaut from the tournament.
Meanwhile, Nader threw his arms up in the air, claiming to have folded pocket tens.
Francesco Delfoco opened to 23,000 from middle position, and he was called by both players in the blinds.
On a board of K♣A♣2♣, Delfoco continued with a bet of 27,000. The small blind folded, but chip leader Niclas Mjelstad called in the big blind.
The 10♦ came on the turn, and Delfoco fired a second barrel of 56,000. After a few seconds, Mjelstad raised to 135,000 and put Delfoco into the tank.
He thought about his decision for two minutes, and eventually chose to fold.
On the next hand, after a player opened from under the gun, Mjelstad called in the small blind. But in the big blind, Piroozi raised all in for a massive 930,000. The initial raiser folded, and Mjelstad eventually folded too.
Picking the action up on a board of 5♠3♣K♥J♥ in a pot between Daniel Erlandsson and Samuel Fournier with 230,000 in the middle, Fournier check-called a bet of 70,000 from his opponent.
On the 9♠ river Fournier again checked to Erlandsson. Erlandsson moved all in for over 700,000, putting Fournier (who had about 400,000 behind) at risk if he called.
Fournier took a considerable period of time mulling over his decision. He asked if his opponent had jacks, and after folding, told Erlandsson if it was a bluff, it was a good one. Erlandsson meanwhile increased his stack to just over 1,000,000.
Karol Bogusz opened to 22,000 from middle position and was called by Nikola Radevic in the big blind.
Radevic checked to Bogusz on the 4♥8♦J♣ flop and he continued for 28,000. Radevic then check-raised to 67,000 and Radevic called.
The 9♠ fell on the turn and Radevic tanked a while before sliding a bet of 58,000 into the middle. Bogusz responded by shoving, which was enough to put Radevic all in for just approximately 200,000 total. Radevic quickly called and hands were revealed.
Nikola Radevic: 8♣4♣
Karol Bogusz: K♦J♦
Radevic was ahead with his flopped two pair, and the Q♥ river kept him in front for the large double up.
