Daniel Koloszar opened to 5,000 from middle position and was called by Matija Kajtez on the button.
Koloszar check-called a 5,000 bet from Kajtez on the J♣Q♥4♦ flop and then both players checked down on the J♦ turn and 10♣ river.
Koloszar tabled K♣10♠ for tens and jacks and Kajtez mucked. Koloszar, who was the Day 1b chip leader, currently sits with around 370,000.
After an open by the player on the button, Jaromir Hanel shoved for a little bit more than 30,000 from the small blind. Linus Hjulstroem called in the big blind, and the initial raiser folded.
Jaromir Hanel: Q♥J♣
Linus Hjulstroem: A♦Q♠
Hanel packed his stuff and almost didn't wait for the dealer to reveal the board of 5♥2♦A♥9♠6♠ to leave.
Action was picked up on the board of 9♥A♦Q♠6♠.
Benjamin Winsor led out for 8,000 from early position and Stanislav Tishkevich in the cutoff called.
After the dealer flipped the 6♣ river, Winsor tanked briefly before announcing all in for 18,000.
This put Tishkevich into the tank for a good minute, and he continued to glance back and forth between the player and the board.
Another minute passed and Tishkevich said: "a donation" before making the call.
Winsor tabled K♠Q♦ for two pair and Tishkevich showed A♠J♠ for top two pair, eliminating Winsor from the tournament.
