Vitalijs Korhs was in the cutoff and got his last 18,000 in the middle on a flop of 7♦4♥9♦ against Zaki Hamani in the hijack.
Vitalijs Korhs: A♣A♠ 
Zaki Hamani: A♦3♦
Korhs was ahead with his aces, while Hamani was on the nut flush draw. The 4♦ fell on the turn to give Hamani his flush and Korhs was already drawing dead by the 6♠ river and on his way to the exit.
Jack Hardcastle three-bet to 4,200 in the hijack and Brian Altman called in early position.
The flop came Q♥5♦4♦ and Hardcastle bet 2,500. Altman then raised to 8,500 and Hardcastle called.
Altman bet another 10,000 on the 5♠ turn and Hardcastle again called. The river was the 9♣ and Altman slowed down and checked. Hardcastle then moved all in for 39,900 and Altman tanked for a minute before calling for around 30,000.
Hardcastle turned over K♥K♦ and Altman tossed A♦K♣ into the muck on his way to the exit while the massive pot was pushed to Hardcastle.
Olga Iermolcheva was down to her last 6,000 and moved all in from the button as Samuel Sanchez put her at risk in early position.
Olga Iermolcheva: A♦10♦
Samuel Sanchez: 6♦5♦
The 9♦K♣8♦ flop gave both players a flush draw. The 7♦ fell on the turn to give Iermolcheva the ace-high flush, but she was already drawing dead as Sanchez made a straight flush to a round of "oohs" from the other players at the table. The river was the 5♣ and Iermolcheva was sent to the rail.
Stefano Schiano opened from the cutoff to 1,000. Alexander Van Der Swaluw called on the button and Edvard Sivuk defended the big blind.
Sivuk checked the 10♣8♦4♥ flop to Schiano, who bet 1,800. Van Der Swaluw tanked for a moment before making it 4,800. Sivuk snap-folded and in his haste revealed the K♥7♦. He apologised to the table as he did not mean to expose his hand as he mucked. Schiano called.
Schiano checked the 8♣ before Van Der Swaluw bet 5,500. Schiano took a moment before folding.
Schiano busted shortly after the hand and couldn't spin up his short stack.
Action folded around to Thomas Syversen on the button who opened for 1,000. Shiina Okamoto called in the small blind and Maria Ho defended the big blind.
Both blinds checked the monotone flop of 9♦K♦8♦ to Syversen who bet 1,000. Okamoto folded and Ho called. She then checked the 4♥ turn, prompting Syversen to continue for 3,000. After a moment's thought, Ho slid her cards into the muck.
Syversen had half a starting stack after the pot, but he could not spin it up and busted shortly afterwards.
Gabriel Sborz raised to 1,000 in early position before Kristian Dahl three-bet to 3,200 in middle position. Dimitrios Angelakos then four-bet to 8,000.
Sborz didn't notice Angelakos had reraised and attempted to just call Dahl's bet. The dealer forced him to put in the 8,000, while Dahl quickly got out of the way.
The flop came 10♥7♣2♠ and Angelakos moved all in. Sborz snap-called for his last 21,000.
Gabriel Sborz: 10♣9♣
Dimitrios Angelakos: A♣K♥
Sborz was ahead with top pair, but Angelakos spiked the A♦ on the turn to take the lead. The river was the 5♦ and Sborz was eliminated.
"I didn't see," Sborz said on his way to the rail.
Mohamed Mamouni raised to 1,100 under the gun and received three callers before Mike Watson moved all in for 12,500 in the small blind. Mamouni reshoved and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Mike Watson: A♣K♣
Mohamed Mamouni: K♠J♠
Watson had Mamouni dominated and was poised for a double up as the flop came Q♠7♦7♠, giving Mamouni a flush draw. The turn was the 10♠ and Mamouni completed his flush to leave Watson drawing dead by the K♥ river, sending the two-time EPT champion to the rail.
Simon Wiciak was also eliminated shortly after coming back from break and will need to rely on his second bullet in hopes of defending his title.
Christian Alilovic raised to 1,000 from early position, Nishant Kumar three-bet to 3,000 from the button and Alilovic called.
The flop came 6♦3♥2♥ and Alilovic checked. Kumar bet 1,600 and Alilovic check-raised to 4,500, which Kumar called. The turn was the Q♦ and Alilovic led for 7,000, which Kumar called.
The river came the 6♥ and Alilovic pushed all in for 14,500. Kumar called the shove and Alilovic flipped over 9♣7♣ for a bluff. Kumar showed A♠Q♥ for a pair of queens to win the pot, eliminating Alilovic.
Action was caught with cards on their backs. Alexander Ivarsson was all-in and at risk for his last 10,000 and was up against Luc Lafontaine.
Alexander Ivarsson: Q♣Q♦
Luc Lafontaine: A♦K♣
The K♥ was in the window and followed by the 9♠A♥ to give Lafontaine two pair. The 2♣ turn and 6♥ river failed to improve Ivarsson and he was eliminated.
