Cassandra Yong was all in preflop against Frank Reichel, who had her covered as players flipped their cards.
Cassandra Yong: Q♣Q♦ 
Frank Reichel: A♥K♠
It was a classic poker race and the board ran out J♦6♥J♣10♣K♣. Yong expressed her joy at the blank flop before letting out a "oh no!" as the river gave Reichel a pair of kings. He won the pot and Yong was sent to the rail.
Nikola Gunchev was all in preflop with a short stack of 10,300 and was looked up by Adam Wagner in the big blind blind, who had the covering stack.
Nikola Gunchev: K♦J♠
Adam Wagner: A♣6♣
The board ran out 10♥Q♥6♠10♣A♥ and the river brought Wagner a pair, but also completed Gunchev's straight. Gunchev won the pot and doubled his stack. A few hands later, however, he busted from the tournament.
Baris Topuz made it 2,500 and Patrick Clarke called in the small blind before Roman Gadzhiev three-bet to 8,500 from the big blind. Topuz then shoved, which got Clarke to fold, but Gadzhiev snap-called.
Baris Topuz: 10♥10♣
Roman Gadzhiev: K♠K♦
Topuz needed to find a ten, but never managed it as the runout of 8♦6♥3♦A♦5♣ sent him to the rail as Gadzhiev's pocket kings held up.
Preflop action was already underway as Marle Spragg moved all in for around 20,000. She was called by Samy Khaled, who had the shorter stack as players flipped their cards.
Samy Khaled: 6♦6♣
Marle Spragg: 10♠10♥
The board ran out K♥A♦8♦3♠2♣, and Spragg held to nearly double her stack, eliminating Khaled from the tournament.
Following an open raise from late position, Oliver Heidel was all in preflop from the small blind against Ibrahim Gedikoglu in the big blind. The original raiser folded and Heidel was the player at risk against Gedikoglu as players flipped their cards.
Oliver Heidel: A♦Q♥
Ibrahim Gedikoglu: A♥A♣
Heidel was in bad shape and found no help as the board ran out 7♠8♥K♦8♦2♠. Gedikoglu held with his pocket aces and Heidel was eliminated.
Abdulgamid Gadzhiev opened to 2,200 first to act and Manesh Rashidi shoved for his last 3,500 from the small blind. Alexander Graf called cold from the big blind and Gadzhiev called as well.
Graf check-called a 3,700 bet from Gadzhiev on the 10♠Q♥3♠ flop, but check-folded facing an 8,000 barrel from Gadzhiev on the A♣ turn.
Manesh Rashidi: A♦K♦
Abdulgamid Gadzhiev: K♠J♥
Rashidi was drawing to a chop against Gadzhiev's made straight, but the 2♠ bricked out and Gadzhiev collected the rest of Rashidi's chips.
Nicolas Betbese was seen dragging in a healthy-sized pot which brought his stack up to around 130,000 and eliminated Gonzalo Almeida.
The full board of 3♥5♣5♦6♦2♣ was showing and Almeida's AxKx was no good against Betbese's A♣A♦, in a pot that most likely got all-in preflop.
Marian Virlanuta had already moved all in with a short stack on the flop and had two callers as action went to the turn on a board of Q♠3♥2♥8♠.
Dauren Zhaparov checked and Aleksandr Lakhov bet 50,000. Zhaparov check-raised all in for not much more and Lakhov flicked in a chip to call.
Lakhov had 2♣2♦ for a set of deuces, Virlanuta had 8♣8♦ for a set of eights and Zhaparov mucked his hand.
The river came the 5♥ and Virlanuta won the pot to triple up, bringing his chip count back above starting stack. Lakhov won the side pot, while Zhaparov was eliminated.
Konstantinos Stavrou opened the cutoff to 2,000 and Baris Topuz shoved for 15,000 on the button. When it got back to Stavrou, he snap-called.
Baris Topuz: K♦10♥
Konstantinos Stavrou: Q♣Q♦
Topuz never found any help from the 6♠2♦5♦J♥3♠ board, which meant he was eliminated, and Stavrou grew his stack to around 100,000.
Garik Tamasian raised to 2,000 from early position and just behind him, Petar Kalev shoved for his last 14,000. Action folded back around to Tamasian, who called to put Kalev at risk.
Petar Kalev: A♥10♣
Garik Tamasian: A♦J♣
Tamasian had Kalev's ten-kicker pipped, and the 6♣Q♣A♣Q♠9♣ runout gave both players a flush, keeping Tamasian best with his jack to eliminate Kalev.
