Pablo Silva opened to 18,000 from the hijack. He was called by big stack Andras Nemeth from the cutoff, before Steve O'Dwyer shoved over the top from the button. Silva folded, but Andras couldn't let his hand go and the Irishman was at risk.
Steve O'Dwyer: K♣Q♣
Andras Nemeth: A♥Q♥
O'Dwyer hit the flop, as it came K♦4♠5♥.
But the A♣ turn swung the hand back in the favour of the Hungarian.
A 10♣ completed the board, knocking out O'Dwyer while making Nemeth the first player in the tournament to reach the illustrious one-million-chip mark.
Eduardo Pereira opened 16,000 in early position before Andras Nemeth announced all-in, a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back to Pereira and he called off his stack of about 233,000.
Eduardo Pereira: A♦K♣
Andras Nemeth: 8♥8♦
It was a race but the 10♠8♠5♠ flop gave Nemeth a set of eights to have Pereira nearly drawing dead. The 4♦ turn sealed his fate and the 7♦ river was just a formality as he tapped the table and said good luck to the players.
Andras Nemeth opened the action from late position to 13,000. Jan-Eric Schwippert then shoved over the top of him from the hijack, before Pablo Silva made a call from the big blind. Nemeth folded and it went heads up to a flop.
Jan-Eric Schwippert: A♦J♠
Pablo Silva: A♥K♦
The flop came 10♥4♠5♠ with both players missing.
A 4♣ on the river added split-pot outs for Schwippert.
The 9♥ completed the board and Schwippert was eliminated at the hands of Silva.
Eduardo Pereira opened 12,000 on the button, and Andras Nemeth called in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣6♥6♦, and Nemeth check-raised the 6,000 continuation bet to 16,000. Pereira called.
The 4♠ fell on the turn, and Nemeth continued for 18,000. Pereira called once again.
When the 9♠ completed the board, Nemeth dropped 75,000 across the line, and Pereira snap-called his remaining 52,000. Nemeth tabled Q♥7♥, and Pereira pulled in the double with trip sixes, holding K♣6♣.
Motoyoshi Okamura opened in the cutoff and Thomas Eychenne defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♦8♠4♦, and both players checked to see the 3♥ turn.
Eychenne led for 9,000, and Okahmura made the call.
When the 4♠ completed the board, Eychenne bombed 75,000 into the middle. Okamura tanked before deciding to make the call. Eychenne rolled over 9♣8♣ for eights full of fours, and Okamura mucked his hand.
Kazuyuki Tanemura opened 12,000 in early position and both Deividas Daubaris on his left, and Andras Nemeth in the small blind called before Enrico Camosci jammed for 102,000 in the big blind. Tanemura mucked before Daubaris made the call, and Nemeth quickly folded behind.
Enrico Camosci: 8♣8♦
Deividas Daubaris: A♥Q♦
It was a race but Camosci was going to need help on the A♠7♦2♦ flop. The A♣ turn and 2♥ river weren't what he was looking for though as Daubaris improved to a full house.
