The pot stood around 70,000 with two players looking at a full board of 8♦7♦K♦4♣K♠.
Dominik Bohm, who was under the gun, moved all in for 78,000. Alik Zazian, in the hijack, tanked for some time before making the call.
Dominik Bohm: A♦9♦ 
Alik Zazian: K♣Q♥
Zazian's trips were way behind the flopped nut flush of Bohm, earning him the full double.
Michele Guerrini opened to 8,000 from middle position. Alexey Losev called in the small blind and Nicolas Betbese defended the big blind.
Both blinds checked the Q♣5♥6♦ to Guerrini who bet 10,000. Both blinds called before they both checked again on the 8♦ turn. Guerrini then bet 23,000 and both blinds called again.
On the A♣ river, both Losev and Betbese checked again to Guerrini who fired a bet of 80,000. Losev folded and Betbese tanked for a moment before moving all in for a little more. Guerrini snap-called and tabled 8♠8♥ for a set. This beat Betbese's Q♦3♦ and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Aren Bezhanyan raised to a sizeable wager of 18,000 from middle position, Adria Diaz three-bet jammed for around 52,000 from middle position and Bezhanyan called.
Adria Diaz: A♣K♣
Aren Bezhanyan: 5♦5♠
The board ran out 8♥8♠10♠9♣J♣; Bezhanyan's small pocket pair held to eliminate Diaz.
Alexandr Khvan raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Uladzimir Zhyharau called in middle position.
The 7♣K♥J♥ flop slowed down Khavn with a check. Zhyharau took the lead for 10,000 and Khvan called.
The 4♥ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Zhyharau sized up to 31,000.
Much to Khvan's disappointment, the 5♣ river checked to a showdown. Khvan rolled over A♥10♥ having turned the nuts, winning him this pot.
During the first break, players queued up to trade their tokens in for an envelope. Stefan Uebber pulled one of the $40,000 bounties, while Alexey Losev and Hamza Nasir both pulled $25,000 bounties.
All three $75,000 bounties are still intact.
