Daniel Heredi: K♥7♦
Thomas Syversen: A♠Q♥
The board ran out 9♣5♦J♠2♦6♠. Neither player improved and so Syversen held with his ace-queen high to win the pot. Heredi was eliminated from the tournament.
Sven Andersson got his final 37,000 chips in from middle position and Ioannis Oikonomidis called from the cutoff with the covering stack.
Sven Andersson: K♣J♦
Ioannis Oikonomidis: J♠J♣

Oikonomidis won the pot with his two pair while Andersson was forced to join the rail.
Hwany Lee open raised and Eduard Anufriiev three-bet to 14,000. Lee moved all in and Anufriiev quickly called for around 45,000. He was the player at risk as the cards were turned.
Eduard Anufriiev: Q♦Q♥
Hwany Lee: A♦K♠
The board ran out 10♠4♥7♠5♣K♣. Lee rivered his pair of kings to win the pot, sending Anufriiev to the rail and chipping up to around 225,000.
The action was caught as Maria Lampropulos, in the big blind, found herself all in and at risk for her remaining 37,000, against Luka Bojovic, on the button.
Maria Lampropulos: Q♦Q♥
Luka Bojovic: J♥10♥
Bojovic was way behind the queens of Lampropulos, but the board ran out 7♣10♦6♦10♣9♣, giving him trips and sending Lampropulos to the rail.
A massive pot of 125,000 chips had been brewed between Gabriele Re and Junichi Kato when they arrived on the river. The board read 7♠8♦8♠5♦7♦, and Re had bet 35,500 from the big blind, leaving himself only 1,000 in chips behind.
Kato was deep in the tank. After the hand had lasted roughly ten minutes, the clock was called. Shortly thereafter, Kato slammed in a call and Re tabled his A♣K♦ with a grimace.
The bluff had been called by the Q♠Q♥ of Kato, who was very relieved while he stacked up his newly acquired chips. Meanwhile, Re's final chip went in the next hand unsuccessfully, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
PokerNews caught up with the action as the pot stood at 16,000 and the flop read 2♦6♦10♥.
