Juan Pardo opened to 13,000 from under the gun, and was called by both players in the blinds.
Pardo continued for 9,000 on a 4♥A♦6♥ flop, and once again, he was called twice. However, the 8♦ on the turn slowed down the action, as all three players checked.
On the river 4♣, after the blinds checked again, Pardo bet 58,000. Tsz Him Chan called, but Andrii Derzhypilskyi in the big blind folded. Immediately, Pardo revealed A♥10♦ for two pair. Chan's cartes went into the muck, and he has only 55,000 chips left.
Shyngis Satubayev raised to 16,000 in the cutoff and Natan Chauskin called in the big blind.
Satubayev continued for 11,000 on the 4♦7♥7♣ flop and Chauskin came back with a raise to 35,000. Satubayev called and the 4♠ fell on the turn.
Chauskin then bet 42,000 and Satubayev tanked for a minute before folding.
The next hand, Thomas Eychenne raised to 16,000 under the gun, Henri Kasper moved all in for 71,000 in the big blind, and Eychenne called.
Henri Kasper: A♣K♥
Thomas Eychenne: Q♦J♦
The flop came 7♦K♦K♣ and Kasper made trips, while Eychenne picked up a flush draw. The 8♠ turn was no help to Eychenne, and neither was the Q♣ river as Kasper doubled up to leave Eychenne on a short stack approaching the bubble.
Diogo Coelho completed the small blind and Tomas Jozonis raised to 32,000 from the big blind, which Coelho called.
The flop came K♣5♣6♦. Coelho checked, Jozonis bet 20,000 and Coelho called. The turn was the 2♠. Coelho checked and Jozonis sized up to 49,000. Coelho called again.
The river came the K♦ and Coelho checked for a third street. Jozonis took another glance at his cards and then checked back. Coelho showed K♠9♥ for trip kings and Jozonis mucked his hand to give Coelho the pot.
Elsewhere, action has slowed down as the bubble slowly approaches.
After Henri Kasper doubled through him, Thomas Eychenne shoved for his last 62,000 chips from the blinds. Tobias Peters, who opened from middle position, made the call.
Thomas Eychenne: K♣Q♣
Tobias Peters: J♦10♥
Eychenne's hope of comeback came to an end when Peters hit a pair on a board of 2♥J♥6♦3♥8♣.
Simon Mattsson raised to 16,000 in the hijack, Dimitar Danchev three-bet to 50,000 in the cutoff, and Mattsson moved all in. Danchev called for around another 50,000.
Dimitar Danchev: 8♥8♠
Simon Mattsson: A♠A♣
Danchev had run right into aces and found no miracles on the 9♥7♦K♥J♠2♥ board as he was sent to the rail a few spots out of the money.
