Action was picked up on the river on a board of A♣A♥A♠6♣3♥.
Bastian Herholz on the button fired a bet of 7,500 into a sizeable pot.
The bet left Alexander Wahl in the tank, but ultimately decided to fold his hand.
Jongwook Lee mucked his hand after the Wahl folded, leaving Herholz with healthy pot early on.
On a flop of 8♦8♥5♦ Pierre Le Bon bet 1,000.
Marian Virlanuta on the button called.
Le Bon check called a bet of 2,500 from Virlanuta on the 7♥ turn.
On the K♥ river, Le Bon tapped the table, allowing Virlanuta to bet 8,500.
Le Bon called and tabled A♠8♣ for trip eights and Virlanuta tabled 6♠9♠ for a straight.
Nils Pudel check-called a bet from Veronica Tuscano on the 6♣10♣Q♥ flop, leading to a 5,000 chip pot being in the middle when the 3♦ turn fell.
Pudel then checked again before Tuscano made a bet of 3,500, which Pudel called. The A♠ river went check-check and Pudel showed K♦Q♦ for a pair of queens.
Tuscano had the better hand with K♠K♥ for a pair of kings and raked in the early pot.
Alexander Grotegut opened to 300 from the button. Juan Pardo in the small blind folded, but Andreas Werner defended from the big blind.
Grotegut continued with a bet of 300 on the 8♣7♣2♥ flop. But Werner check-raised to 800. Grotegut looked at the board, and after a few seconds, he re-raised to 2,200.
However, this time, it was too much for Werner, who eventually folded.
Tomas Kolarik opened on the button to 300 and Andrii Derzhypilskyi defended the big blind.
On the 2♣10♠8♣ flop, Kolarik led out for 300 and Derzhypilskyi called.
The 9♠ turn presented a second flush draw, and Kolarik bet 700 and Derzhypilskyi called again.
Kolarik slowed down on the 7♣ river and checked to Derzhypilskyi who checked back.
Derzhypilskyi showed down A♠J♦ for a rivered straight and Kolarik mucked.
Ireneusz Nurzynski opened to 300 and found two callers in Philipp Yalmanian and Him Tsz Chan.
The three went to a flop of 3♦J♣3♠ and Nurzynski continued for 300 with only Chan making the call.
The tun card brought the Q♦ and again Nurzynski bet 1,200 with Chan making the call. The river was 8♣ and this time Chan led out for 2,500 and his opponent folded.
With 3,500 chips in the middle, Roelof Pepping checked from the hijack to Maksym Scheingart on the button. Scheingart then made a bet of 2,000 on the 7♠9♣5♦2♠ board, which Pepping called.
The subsequent Q♦ river completed the board, and Pepping checked to Scheingart once more. He made one more bet, of 5,500 chips, but Pepping quickly let his hand go to grant his opponent the pot.
2022 EPT Prague runner-up Antoine Saout opened from under the gun, and was called by Philipp Yalmanian in the big blind.
Both of them checked on the 7♣4♦2♦. But after Yalmanian checked again on the turn J♦, Saout bet 300. Yalmanian quickly called.
The 10♦ landed on the river, and Yalmanian checked again. Saout checked back, and waited for Yalmanian to show his Q♣10♥ to reveal J♥9♥ and win the pot.
