Consantin Meyer opened from under the gun before Tarik Ozdemir shoved all in for 71,000 chips from the big blind. Meyer made the call and the players showed down.
Tarik Ozdemir: A♠K♦
Constantin Meyer: J♠J♥
The 5♦2♠4♦ flop gave Ozdemir some extra outs, and the A♦ turn vaulted him into the lead. The 5♣ river did not save Meyer, and he handed off his chips to double up his opponent.
Gerard Rubiralta Cortes limped from early position and Jiri Kun limped behind on the button. Dragoljub Martinovic raised to 28,000 from the small blind, which got a fold from Cortes but a call from Kun.
Kun called a 10,000 bet from Martinovic on the 2♠4♠K♥ flop and then Martinovic checked after the A♦ fell on the turn.
Kun bet 35,000 and Martinovic quickly check-raised all in for around 100,000 total. Kun thought a bit before folding and Martinovic dragged the pot without showing.
The action was folded round to Iosif Balint on the button, who opened to 15,000. Daniel Erlandsson three-bet all in from the big blind, putting Balint at risk if he made the call. After some thought, Balint called for his remaining stack of 89,000.
Iosif Balint: K♠Q♣
Daniel Erlandsson: A♠5♣
Balint needed some help, finding it as the J♦4♠7♥Q♦3♦ runout brought a pair of queens on the turn and the double-up.
After a middle position open to 17,000, Vladimir Lipnitskii shoved all in for around 130,000 from the small blind. David Tous Rosich in the big blind then reshoved, covering the Russian. The initial raiser got out of the way and action went heads up.
Vladimir Lipnitskii: A♥10♥
David Tous Rosich: 9♠9♦
Rosich was still ahead as flop came 5♦J♠8♣. The K♣ on the turn gave Lipnitskii more outs - a ten, queen or ace on the final street would save him his tournament life.
But it wasn't to be, as a 6♣ on the river condemned Lipnitskii to the rail, pocketing €1,940 in the process.
Picking the action up on the turn, the short-stacked Sebastian Van Wonterghem was all in for 11,000 and had two opponents, Philippe Rivory and Daniel Koloszar. The side pot had swollen to 68,000 and the board read 9♥Q♠4♥A♣.
Rivory put out a bet of 30,000 and Koloszar called.
On the J♦ river, Rivory moved all in and Koloszar quickly folded. Rivory showed A♦3♥ for top pair which bettered Van Wonterghem's 5♦2♦. The pot pushed Rivory towards the 500,000 mark.
Joao Goncalves had open-raised preflop from under the gun and Davis Mihelsons defended the big blind. The 6♦J♣4♦ flop then saw Mihelsons check-raise Goncalves' 12,000 bet to 35,000 and Goncalves call.
On the subsequent Q♠ turn, Mihelsons fired another 35,000 and Goncalves called again. Mihelsons then jammed all in for his remaining 80,000 chips and Goncalves thought it over for a bit before making the call.
Mihelsons showed 6♠6♣ for a full house, and Goncalves was forced to show his 7♠7♣ for two pair. Mihelsons doubled up nicely, while Goncalves was left with just 15 big blinds.
Vojtech Kratochvil opened to 12,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 36,000 by Alvaro Gomez from the cutoff. Maurice Nass shoved for approximately 100,000 on the button and action folded back around to Gomez, who called to put Nass at risk.
Maurice Nass: A♦4♦
Alvaro Gomez: Q♠Q♥
The 10♦Q♦9♥ flop gave Gomez a set and Nass a flush draw, but the 10♥ turn improved Gomez to a full house and left Nass drawing dead.
An irrelevant 7♣ completed the board and Gomez collected the rest of Nass' chips.
Michael Smith opened to 14,000 from the cutoff. His only caller was Risto Parnat in the big blind and we went heads up to a flop.
It came 10♦4♥3♣, to which Parnat checked. Smith led out for 15,000, before Parnat raised to 45,000 and was called.
Parnat slowed down on the turn as the 7♦ landed. After a minute of thinking, Smith bet out 75,000, sending Parnat into the tank. The Estonian eventually laid his hand down, leaving him with just five big blinds left.
Fintan Hand had multiplied his stack several times already when went all in preflop against Istvan Pilhofer, covering the latter's 90,000 stack.
Istvan Pilhofer: A♦10♦
Fintan Hand: A♥Q♥
Hand had a big lead, but that changed when Pilhofer paired his ten on the 2♠9♣10♣ flop. The 4♣3♥ runout did not bring Hand a queen, and Pilhofer received a lucky double-up.
