Liam O'Donoghue was already all in and at risk for approximately 45,000 on the button against Hans Rasmussen, who had O'Donoghue covered from middle position.
Liam O'Donoghue: 6♠6♦
Hans Rasmussen: Q♣Q♦
Rasmussen had way the best of it with his ladies, and the K♥3♦J♣10♥3♣ runout changed nothing to eliminate O'Donoghue.
Wouter Beltz opened 8,000 in the hijack and Jerome Boileux called from the small blind before Espen Sandvik jammed his entire stack from the big blind. Beltz tank-called off his stack of 93,000, and Boileux got out of the way.
Wouter Beltz: A♠J♣
Espen Sandvik: K♠J♠
Beltz had Sandvik dominated and was able to hold on the Q♣7♠6♦3♠6♣ board.
"I think that was a bad call," Sandvhik commented, "I'm not sure, but I think so."
Beltz responded, "I respect you so much that I call."
Jack Corrigan opened 8,000 under the gun and Mircea Ghionoiu three-bet 21,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Corrigan and he announced all in as he pushed a stack of blues across the line. Ghionoiu had about 60,000 total and made the call.
Mircea Ghionoiu: K♠10♦
Jack Corrigan: Q♥Q♣
The 9♥8♣5♠A♥Q♠ runout gave Corrigan a set of queens to send Ghionoiu out of the tournament.
Tom Di Chiara shoved for his last 6,000 on the button and was called by Kenny Hallaert in the big blind to put Di Chiara at risk.
Tom Di Chiara: Q♣7♠
Kenny Hallaert: A♠K♥
Di Chiara needed help, but the 3♦A♦5♥3♠Q♥ runout kept Hallaert ahead, pairing his ace, and Di Chiara was eliminated.
Ankit Ahuja opened 6,500 on the button and Masato Yokosawa called before Alvaro Recio jammed for about 160,000. Ahuja snap-called his stack of 50,000, putting the action back on Yokosawa. He laughed as he eyed his remaining 7,000, and tossed his 13,500 total across the line.
Masato Yokosawa: 8♦6♦
Ankit Ahuja: A♠Q♠
Alvaro Recio: A♥Q♣
Yokosawa was already cheering when he saw both his opponents had the same hand. The 9♣7♥3♥ flop hit the felt, giving Yokosawa an open-ended straight draw to go along with his two live cards, and the 4♦ turn, and 5♦ river improved him to a straight as he tripled up.
Level: 15
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Mathias Siljander opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 17,000 by Philippe Le Touche on the button. Action folded back around to Siljander, who called.
Siljander proceeded to check-call bets from Le Touche on every street. First for 13,000 on the 5♣J♥2♦ flop, then for 33,000 on the J♦ turn and finally for Siljander's remaining 46,000 on the 10♣ river after a lengthy tank.
"You're good," Le Touche announced, prompting Siljander to turn over A♥Q♠.
Le Touche revealed he held 8♦7♠ and Siljander was awarded the double-up.
Lucia Navarro was seen in the tank after checking to her opponent Emil Eklund on the J♥5♠3♦A♥10♦ board, who jammed for slightly more than the pot, a total of 69,500. After giving it some serious thought, she eventually tossed in a chip to make the call.
Eklund tabled K♣Q♥ for Broadway, and Navarro paid off the bet as her A♦Q♠ was tabled.
Nazar Buhaiov opened 7,000 in the cutoff and Richard Fisher put in a three-bet to 22,000 on the button. Buhaiov four-bet jammed, and Fisher wasted no time calling off his stack of about 75,000.
Richard Fisher: J♠J♦
Nazar Buhaiov: A♦3♦
Fisher was in great shape but the 9♠5♦4♦ gave Buhaiov a straight flush draw to go along with his overcard. The 6♠ turn gave Buhaiov some extra outs, and the A♠ landed on the river, sending Fisher to the rail.
Gianluca Bernardini opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and was called by Rozas De Sanctis in the big blind.
De Sanctis checked to Bernardini, who continued for 4,000 on the 6♣6♦4♣ flop. De Sanctis then check-raised to 10,000 and Bernardini called.
Bernardini called a 20,000 bet from De Sanctis on the 9♣ turn and then both players checked after the A♠ completed the board.
De Sanctis tabled K♣J♣ for a flush and Bernardini sent his hand into the muck.
