Nikolaos Iliakis opened 3,000 from the hijack and received calls from Vasilij Barna on his left, as well as Antanas Malinov in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of A♣4♦2♦, and Malinov check-called a bet of 3,000, while Barna got out of the way.
The 10♠ hit the turn and Malinov checked once more before Iliakis dropped 10,000 across the line. Malinov only took a couple of seconds before surrendering the pot.
Action started with Ioannis Oikonomidis opening to 4,000 only to be check raised by Krasimir Neychev to 12,000.
Oikonomidis went into the tank then eventually called and the two went to the flop of 10♣K♣A♥ were both players checked to the turn of 5♥. Oikonomidis then led for 16,000 and was called by his opponent.
The river brought the 6♥ and again both players checked. Oikonomidis tabled A♣K♠ and Neychev mucked saying that there was something fishy about the initial check from Oikonomidis and said he folded A♦J♠

Running parallel to the live action at the Prague Hilton, the Mini EPT Prague Online series has its opening shuffle up and deal on Tuesday, December 12, and continues through to Sunday, December 17, offering a thrilling lineup of 18 tournaments over six action-packed days, with buy-ins starting at just $1.10.

The 240 players who are still in the €3,000 Mystery Bounty have been sent on a 75-minute dinner break.
Play will resume around 9:55 p.m. local time.
Two players saw the 7♦7♠3♣ flop and each put in 8,000 to see the 8♥ turn.
Francesco Blasio checked before Pavels Spirins shoved his last 16,500. Blasio took about five seconds before making the call and both hands were tabled.
Pavels Spirins: 4♣4♠
Francesco Blasio: 6♦6♣
Both players started the hand with a pocket pair but unfortunately for Spirins he had the lower one and the 10♦ river was no help.
Linus Hjulstroem, under the gun, had open-raised preflop when Maciej Trzcinski three-bet jammed for 26,800 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Hjulstroem, who put in the call with the covering stack.
Maciej Trzcinski: A♦Q♥
Linus Hjulstroem: K♦Q♦
Both players paired their queen on the 3♥Q♠3♠ flop, but Trzcinski's ace kicker remained best on the 7♠5♠ runout, doubling him up.
Juan Duenas raised to 2,500 from under the gun. Youngshin Im called in the cutoff.
Duenas continued for 2,500 on the 7♦4♣7♥ flop. Im raised to 6,200 and Duenas called.
The Q♣ turn checked to the 8♥ on the river. Both players checked to a showdown. Duenas tabled A♣8♣ for a rivered pair of eights; Im smirked as she rechecked her cards before sliding them face down into the muck.
Tiziano Di Romualdo opened 2,400 under the gun before Joao Sydenstricker three-bet to 7,200 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Di Romualdo and he took about 40 seconds before making the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 10♣7♣2♥, Di Romualdo checked and Sydenstricker continued for 5,800. It seemed a tough decision for Di Romualdo as he tanked for about three minutes, rechecking his cards multiple times before eventually pushing them into the muck.
