Berthold Winz raised to 3,600 from under the gun, Igor Pihela Jr. three-bet to 10,400 from middle position and Winz four-bet jammed for 50,8000. Pihela Jr. snap-called.
Berthold Winz: K♦K♣ 
Igor Pihela Jr.: Q♣Q♥
This cooler was nearly locked up for Winz on the 4♦K♠6♥ flop. The Q♦ turn did give Pihela Jr. one out on the river, but the 5♥ that fell was not it. Winz found the full double-up.
With around 8,000 chips already in the middle on a board of 2♠9♣7♥, Marte Sandberg cheked it over to Fadil Isufi, who fired 2,700. Sandberg called.
When the 2♥ paired the board on the turn, Sandberg led out for 4,000, and Isufi raised to 10,800. Sandberg responded with an all-in wager, and Isufi snap-folded with around 25,000 behind.
Victoria Livschitz limped in from under the gun, the button called and Ahmed Ibrahimi, in the small blind, squeezed to 5,500. Livschitz called and the button folded.
The Q♠K♣2♦ flop checked through to the 8♥ turn and the 9♣ river. Ibrahimi bet out a small wager of 1,200 and Livschitz tanked before making a reluctant call.
Ibrahimi tabled J♣J♥, sending Livschitz's cards into the muck.
Mathieu Goncalves was all in and at risk for his stack of around 16,000, and Stefan Reiser was looking to win a flip.
Mathieu Goncalves: J♠J♥
Stefan Reiser: A♠K♠
An action-packed flop of Q♣J♣10♣ gave Reiser Broadway and improved Goncalves to a set. Goncalves needed the board to pair and was granted his wish immediately as the 10♠ turn locked up the pot for him. The 8♠ on the river was just a formality, and Goncalves doubled up.
Julien Sitbon raised to 2,400 from early position with Ramzi Karam three-betting to 7,000 from the cutoff. Simon Wiciak then four-bet shoved for 19,000 out of the blinds. Sitbon folded but Karam called.
Simon Wiciak: 9♠9♣
Ramzi Karam: Q♦Q♥
Wiciak began to get out of his chair upon seeing the pocket queens of Karam. However, when the dealer fanned out the flop of A♦9♥A♥ to give Wiciak a boat, he quickly sat back down. The K♥ turn and 4♦ river didn't help Karam and Wiciak doubled up.
Level: 10
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
Mikhail Yakovlev raised to 2,400 from under the gun, receiving three calls behind him.
The action checked to Yakovlev, who continued for 3,500 on the 9♣K♦2♠ flop. Mathieu Di Meglio in the hijack called, while the button and big blind folded.
The Q♣ turn saw Yakovlev slow down with a check. Di Meglio bet out 4,000 and Yakovlev check-raised, moving all in for 13,200. Di Meglio called.
Mikhail Yakovlev: J♥10♥
Mathieu Di Meglio: K♥Q♥
The turn had given Di Meglio two pair, but it had also improved Yakovlev to a straight. The 6♥ river changed nothing and Yakovlev doubled up.
Jerry Odeen kicked off the action from the cutoff with a raise to 2,400, only to be met by Jinlong Hu’s three-bet to 6,500. Rather than backing down, Odeen shoved all in, and Hu snap-called.
Jerry Odeen: A♣4♣
Jinlong Hu: A♥7♥
Odeen was trailing and needed some luck from the board, and luck he found as the board ran out 10♠J♣2♥9♠Q♥, leaving both players with just ace-high. In the end, the pot was split.
Stoyan Madanzhiev got the action going with a raise to 2,400 from early position, attracting a call from Xiaohua Fu in the cutoff. The excitement didn’t stop there; Robbie Bull in the small blind decided to make it interesting with a three-bet to 10,500. Madanzhiev, holding just a bit more than that, opted to go all in. Fu quickly folded, but Bull snap-called, setting up a showdown.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: Q♥Q♦
Robbie Bull: K♥K♦
Madanzhiev needed some help from the board, but it didn’t come as the cards ran out 10♦9♣8♠6♠10♣, providing no assistance and sending Madanzhiev to the rail. Meanwhile, Bull scooped up a nice stack to keep him in the tournament.
