Przemyslaw Cebrat opened to 1,600 from under the gun. Action folded to Iaron Lightbourne in the small blind, who asked to see his opponent's stack, before moving all in with the covering stack. Cebrat didn't need any invitation to get the rest of his chips, totaling 23,700, into the middle.
Przemyslaw Cebrat: A♥A♦ 
Iaron Lightbourne: A♣Q♦
Cebrat was well ahead with his rockets and his double-up was confirmed by the 4♣3♠2♠9♥K♦ runout.
In the first hand, with around 13,000 in the pot and the board showing 2♥4♠10♠3♣2♠, it was a classic blind versus blind battle. Fabian Gumz led out with a bet of 2,000, and Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu opted to call. Gumz revealed A♦10♦, which was enough to take down the pot.
In the very next hand, Hadi Khordbin opened the action from early position with a raise to 1,600, and Gumz decided to call from the button. Nils Pudel, sitting in the big blind, then decided to mix things up with a three-bet to 8,000, only for Gumz to call once more.
The flop came down 8♦7♠Q♠, and Pudel kept the pressure on with a bet of 6,000, which Gumz called again without hesitation.
Both players checked the Q♦ turn, and when the Q♣ landed on the river, Pudel checked once more. After some careful consideration, Gumz announced a hefty bet of 23,000. Pudel paused to reconsider his hand before ultimately folding, handing the pot over to Gumz.
With around 15,000 chips in the middle on a board of 3♦10♠8♦, Mikhail Shalamov and Iurii Okolovich checked it over to Marius-Catalin Pertea, who fired 5,700. Shalamov then put in a raise to 13,200, which got a quick fold out of Okolovich, but Pertea called.
A 7♦ dropped on the turn and Shalamov immediately shoved, which gave Pertea a decision for his remaining stack of around 20,000. After thinking it over for a while, Pertea decided to put himself at risk, and called.
Marius-Catalin Pertea: 10♣7♣
Mikhail Shalamov: 8♠8♣
Pertea had turned two pair but was trailing to the flopped set of Shalamov, who only needed to fade a ten on the river to scoop the pot. Pertea was hoping to hit that two-outer, but it never came as the 9♣ filled out the board, which meant he was eliminated.
Aliaksandr Yarosh opened to 1,600 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 4,500 from Yevhen Pavlenko on the button. Action folded back to Yarosh, who called.
On the 10♦5♦2♦ flop, Yarosh check-called versus a bet of 3,500 from his opponent.
The J♥ turn was checked through. On the 9♣ river, Yarosh led out with a bet of 7,500, and that forced a quick fold from Pavlenko.
Action was on the river on a board of 6♦5♦K♥7♦7♣ and Felix Schneiders had a bet of 9,000 out in the middle. Serghei Lisii moved all in for around 28,000 more and sent Felix Schneiders deep into the tank.
With an anguished look on his face, Schneiders mucked his hand, giving Lisii the pot but preserving his stack ready for another battle.
Erwin Wiechers raised to 1,600 from the button and picked up a call from the small blind before Nariman Yaghmai three-bet to 6,800. Only Wiechers made the call and action went to the flop.
The flop came 5♥J♠6♣ and Yaghmai continued for 5,500, which Wiechers called. The turn was the 9♣ and Yaghmai sized up to 16,200. This proved too much for Wiechers, who made the fold and gave Yaghmai the pot.
Nikolay Ponomarev opened to 1,600 from the cutoff, only to be faced with a three-bet to 4,800 from Andrzej Powalka on the button. Artem Bocharov was in the small blind, and he took some time to think before producing a cold four-bet to 12,500.
Ponomarev got out of the way, but Powalka called to see a flop, which came K♠Q♦7♣. Bocharov continued with a bet of 5,900, and Powalka called.
The J♦ hit on the turn, and both players elected to check their option.
The 10♣ river completed the board, bringing one-card straight possibilities. Bocharov fired out a bet of 13,600, and Powalka quickly released his cards to the dealer.
Nicolas Betbese only had around nine big blinds after the dinner break and shoved his stack of around 7,000 into the pot, and was called by Arsenii Karmatckii.
Nicolas Betbese: A♦10♣
Arsenii Karmatckii: A♠J♥
Betbese was behind and things looked bleak after the flop of 4♣J♠5♥ gave Karmatckii a pair of jacks. No miracle occured as the 6♦Q♥ runout meant Betbese was sent to the rail just as play resumed from dinner.
Apoorva Goel first lost a small pot to Barny Boatman’s ace-high with his king-high, and in the very next hand, he found himself in the small blind with just 7,700 left. With the action folded to him, Goel shoved all in, only to be called by Juan Pardo in the big blind.
Goel was once again holding king-high with K♣2♥, while Pardo showed 2♣2♠ for a pair of deuces.
Hoping for help from the board, Goel watched as it ran out 3♣J♣7♦6♠5♠, offering no assistance. Pardo scooped up the easy pot, and Goel was sent to the rail.
Uladzmir Zhyharau raised to 1,600 from under the gun and Aimar Gonzalez called in the cutoff before Pascal Hartmann three-bet from the small blind to 7,500. Zhyharau then four-bet to 16,400, which got a quick fold out of Gonzalez, and Hartmann ripped in his stack of around 50,000. Zhyharau quickly folded.
