On the first hand back from break, Antonio Menga moved all in for 34,000 from the cutoff and Eero Rantala called in the big blind.
Antonio Menga: Q♥9♥
Eero Rantala: K♠J♥
Rantala hit top pair on the 4♣J♣10♣ flop while Menga picked up a straight draw. The board ran out 5♣7♠ and Menga missed all his outs and headed off to the exit.
Peter Jaksland bet 12,000 from middle position on a flop of 10♠7♠J♥ before Niall Farrell raised to 27,500 under the gun.
Jaksland called and the 10♥ fell on the turn. Farrell checked to Jaksland who then bet enough to put Farrell all in. Farrell called for 65,500.
Jaksland had A♥Q♥ for straight and flush draws, while Farrell showed K♠J♣ for two pair. The 2♠ fell on the river and Farrell held on to double up.
"A lot of shit going on on that board," Farrell said. "I didn't really want to do it this close to the money, but I couldn't min-cash and look myself in the mirror if I didn't play."
Rolando Carrera opened to 6,500 first-to-act and was called by Daniel Koloszar in the cutoff and Marc Foggin in the big blind.
Action checked to Koloszar on the 10♥J♠K♣ flop and he bet 7,500. Foggin folded and Carrera called.
The 5♦ fell on the turn and Carrera checked again — prompting a 24,000 barrel from Koloszar. This time Carrera thought better of it and folded, awarding the pot to Koloszar.
Nearly 300,000 was already in the middle as Joao Mestre and Davis Mihelsons went to the river on a completed board of 10♠3♣J♣7♠K♦.
According to tablemate Jon Kyte, Joao Mestre raised to 6,500 in early position, then called when Mihelsons three-bet to 18,000 in the hijack.
Mihelsons continued for 11,000 on the flop before Mestre raised to 29,000. Mihelsons called, then called when Mestre bet another 115,000 on the turn.
Mestre slowed down and checked the river, and Mihelsons paused for a moment before checking back. Mestre then showed 3♥3♠ for a flopped set and Mihelsons mucked.
"Afraid of ace-queen or kings. One of the two," Kyte said to Mestre as he raked in the massive pot.
Jorge Rios opened from the highjack to 6,500. Alessandro Minasi reraised to 21,000 in the cutoff.
Action folded back around to Rios who shoved all in and Minasi mucked quickly.
Iulian Bleau raised from middle position, and Niall Farrell defended his big blind. The 8♦8♣6♥ flop checked through to the 5♣ turn. Farrell fired out 24,000 into a pot of 17,500 and was called. The Scotsman, wearing his Celtic jersey, checked on the A♠ river and then folded to a bet of 14,000.
Luigi D'Alterio opened to 6,000 from middle position, but was only called by Jorge Postigo in the big blind.
D'Alterio continued with a bet of 4,500 on the 8♦2♠K♥ flop. Postigo check-called, then both players checked the 7♠ turn.
The river 6♥ landed on the felt, and Postigo led out for 18,000. D'Alterio went into the tank, and eventually called. But he had to muck his cards after Postigo showed 8♠7♥ for two pair.
Action was picked up on the flop of 4♥3♥8♠ and Ercan Atmaca checked in the highjack.
Luke Marsh on the button fired a near pot sized bet of 21,500, which put Atmaca into the tank.
After some thought, he flicked his cards into the muck leaving Marsh with the pot.
Stefano Rege Gianas opened to 6,000 from the hijack before Vitezslav Cech made it 27,500 from the small blind. After a few moments in the tank, Adamszki jammed for 96,500. Rege Gianas folded while Cech snap-called as the bigger stack.
Tamas Adamszki: A♣K♦
Vitezslav Cech: K♣K♥
Adamszki had three immediate outs, but his ace did not appear on the Q♣7♥6♦ flop. But it did come on the A♦ turn to give Adamszki the lead and he scooped in the pot after the 2♥ river.
"Sorry mate," said Adamszki.
"No problem," replied Cech.
"A much more enjoyable bubble now," Silius Moll said to Adamszki as the latter responded with a laugh.
