Michael Smith was already all in and at risk for around 100,000 from the small blind against Duco ten Haven, who had Smith covered on the button.
Michael Smith: 7♣7♦
Duco ten Haven: A♠3♠
Smith was a favorite to double, but the K♥J♥A♣8♠3♣ runout left Ten Haven with two pair and Smith was eliminated.
Adam Wagner raised to 13,000 in early position before Suhan Guler moved all in for 118,000 in the small blind. Tomas Kolarik in the big blind used a time bank before calling.
Wagner buried his face in his hands as he went into the tank, using two time banks before folding J♦J♣ face up.
Suhan Guler: A♦10♦
Tomas Kolarik: A♥Q♣
Guler was dominated by Kolarik's superior ace and found no help on the 7♣5♠5♣K♥9♥ board as he was sent to the rail.
Day 1b chip leader Daniel Koloszar open-shoved for 54,000 from the hijack, then Hussein Abud took his time before raising to 100,000 from the button. The blinds folded, and cards went on their backs.
Daniel Koloszar: A♥10♠
Hussein Abud: 6♥5♥
Koloszar hit top pair on the 4♥6♣10♥ flop, but Abud also found a pair and a flush draw. The 2♣ didn't change anything, but the 3♥ on the river completed Abud's flush, leading to Koloszar's elimination.
Diogo Coelho had already opened from the hijack and just behind him, Oleksii Ievchenko shoved for his last 42,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Coelho, who called to put Ievchenko at risk.
Oleksii Ievchenko: K♠Q♠
Diogo Coelho: A♥9♦
Ievchenko would need some help, and the 5♠10♥J♣ flop gave him an open-ended straight draw in addition to his pair outs. It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 3♣ turn and 7♣ river bricked out for Ievchenko — eliminating him from the tournament.
Ramon Colillas opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and was called by Romain Retiere in the small blind. Adam Wagner then shoved for 138,000 total from the small blind and Colillas called to put Wagner at risk. Retiere folded and hands were revealed.
Adam Wagner: A♥J♥
Ramon Colillas: 7♠7♦
The board ran out 5♥4♣A♣10♥K♦ — pairing Wagner's ace for the double up.
Serge Chechin raised to 13,000 from early position and Maria Lampropulos reraised to 33,000 from late position, which Chechin called.
The flop came 9♣5♣Q♠. Chechin checked and Lampropulos bet 35,000. Chechin used a time bank card before making the fold.
The next hand, Chechin got one back. Lampropulos raised from late position and Chechin three-bet, which forced Lampropulos out of the pot.
Hussein Abud had a three-bet of 32,000 in front of him from the small blind before Eduardo Lopes Pereira moved all in for 197,000 in the hijack. Abud called to put him at risk.
Eduardo Lopes Pereira: A♣Q♣
Hussein Abud: Q♦J♦
The flop came 5♣6♠2♣ and Abud was already preparing to pay off Lopes Pereira, who picked up a flush draw to move further in front. The board ran out 5♦8♠ and Lopes Pereira doubled up.
"I have to punish the three-better. No more flops," Lopes Pereira said.
Heads-up on a flop of 5♦8♥8♦, Marius Kudzmanas bet 20,000 from the big blind, Christopher Wood moved all in for 120,000 in the hijack, and Kudzmanas snap-called.
Christopher Wood: 9♣9♥
Marius Kudzmanas: K♥K♠
The board ran out Q♦6♥ and Kudzmanas' kings sent Wood off to collect his payout.
Down to 87,000 chips, Johan Storaakers moved all in from the button, and was called by Serge Chechin in the small blind.
Johan Storaakers: Q♣10♠
Serge Chechin: A♠K♠
Chechin kept the lead on a board of K♦5♣9♦7♥5♠, and sent Storaakers to the rail.
