Vito Vella opened to 16,000 from under the gun and was called by Adrien Guyon in the cutoff and Grzegorz Glowny in the big blind.
Glowny checked to Vella on the A♦7♦10♠ flop and he continued for 30,000. Guyon called and Glowny folded.
The K♥ fell on the turn and Vella barreled for 65,000. Guyon again called.
Vella slowed down and checked after the K♠ completed the board and Guyon used up a time extension before announcing he was all in — sending Vella deep into the tank.
Vella eventually laid his hand down after using up a couple time extensions and Guyon turned over 9♦8♦ as he collected the pot, which got a "Nice hand," from Vella.
Jiri Kocab raised to 18,000 in early position and Luke Marsh called in the hijack. Fabio Di Blasi then moved all in for 90,000 in the big blind and Kocab called. Marsh reshoved and Kocab burned through multiple time banks before calling.
Fabio Di Blasi: 7♦7♠
Luke Marsh: A♦K♠
Jiri Kocab: A♥Q♣
Di Blasi was looking for his pair to hold to triple, while Marsh had Kocab dominated in the massive side pot with more than 1,000,000 at stake.
The flop came A♠J♣Q♥ and Kocab spiked two pair to take the lead. The 6♣ turn was safe, while the 2♥ river secured him the entire pot.
Di Blasi was eliminated, while the stacks of Marsh and Kocab were counted down and Kocab had 500,000 remaining. He barely had Marsh covered and sent both players to the rail.
Arthur Thiriart raised from late position, the button called, then Tobias Garp reraised to 53,000 from the big blind. Thiriart called and the player on the button folded.
The flop came J♠4♠7♠. Garp bet 25,000 and Thiriart called. The turn was the 5♠ and Garp bet again, this time for 52,000, which Thiriart called.
The river was the 7♦. Garp made a bet on the third street for 150,000, which proved too much for Thiriart. He found the fold and Garp scooped the pot.
Rauno Kiviloo opened to 17,000 on the button. Sebastian Schulze called in the big blind and it went to a flop.
The German checked it as the board came 3♣8♦5♣. Kiviloo bet 25,000 and was called.
As the 7♠ hit, Schulze led out for 35,000 and got a call.
He checked the 9♦ river, before Kiviloo made it 65,000. Schulze then upped it to 130,000 and it was enough to induce a quick fold from his opponent, who was left with a little over two big blinds.
Heads-up on a flop of 6♣7♥3♥, Silius Moll bet 35,000 from the button and Marius Kudzmanas called in the hijack.
Both players checked the 2♥ turn and Kudzmanas also checked the A♠ river.
Moll then bet 100,000 and Kudzmanas quickly called. Moll showed 10♣8♣ for a bluff and Kudzmanas turned over A♦9♦ for a rivered pair to win the pot.
With his 79,000 remaining chips, Erik Bauer shoved from middle position, and was called by Daniel Erlandsson in the hijack.
Erik Bauer: K♥7♥
Daniel Erlandsson: A♣Q♠
On the board of 9♦J♠6♦10♥A♦, Erlandsson's hand was in the lead from the beginning to the end, so he took all Bauer's chips.
Marle Spragg and Salih Atac were heads up on a 9♠7♦3♠ flop. Atac was in the small blind and check-called a 43,000 bet from Spragg, who was in the big blind.
The 2♦ fell on the turn and Atac again check-called — this time for a 90,000 bet from Spragg.
Both players checked down on the 8♠ river and Atac turnd over A♣7♣for a pair of sevens. Spragg revealed Q♥Q♠ and was sent the pot.
Govert Metaal raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Jerome Ruefenacht moved all in from middle position for 150,000. Metaal called with the bigger stack and players flipped their cards.
Jerome Ruefenacht: A♦K♦
Govert Metaal: A♠Q♣
Ruefenacht was well ahead, but the board ran out 3♣5♥Q♥6♥Q♠. Metaal paired his queen on the flop and made trips on the river to win the pot, while Ruefenacht was sent to the rail.
Tobias Garp opened to 16,000 from early position and action folded to Francesco Gisolfi, who shoved for approximately 170,000 from the hijack. It was folded back around to Garp, who quickly put in calling chips to put Gisolfi at risk.
Francesco Gisolfi: A♠Q♠
Tobias Garp: A♥K♥
Garp had Gisolfi dominated, and the 8♥2♣10♦J♥4♦ runout kept Garp best for the elimination.
