Tom Fuchs had lost most of his stack with kings against aces, and was all-in for his last 10,000 and at risk versus Xiaohu Liu.
Tom Fuchs: 8♥8♣ 
Xiaohu Liu: J♥J♣
The bad luck for Fuchs continued as he ran into yet another overpair, and the 9♥9♣10♦A♦10♣ runout left him counterfeited and playing the board, while Liu scooped the pot with two pair, jacks and tens.
Niklas Astedt opened to 4,000 from the hijack. Aleksandr Burov and Eero Rantala called from the button and blinds.
Rantala checked on the 8♥3♠2♣ flop before Astedt continued for 6,000. Burov made it 17,500 and folded out both opponents.
As that hand played out, Nicola Cappellesso was in the middle of putting Daniel Lakerveld to the test for his tournament life on another table.
With around 25,000 on the 3♦4♣6♥5♦A♦ completed board, Lakerveld bet 3,000 from the hijack, leaving around 26,500 behind. Cappellesso raised to his opponent all-in and Lakerveld went deep into the tank.
Several minutes passed and then Lakerveld called to put himself at risk.
Cappellesso tabled 7♦7♣ for a seven-high straight, and secured the bust out after Lakerveld could only show A♠K♣.
Nariman Yaghmai raised to 4,000 under the gun. Tom Vogelsang called in the hijack before Aleksandr Lakhov went all in for 19,500 from the small blind.
Yaghmai made the call while Vogelsang got out of the way.
Aleksandr Lakhov: 10♥10♣
Nariman Yaghmai: 8♠8♦
The higher pair held on the 9♥2♦3♦K♣K♦ board, seeing Lakhov double up. Meanwhile, Ivan Zabiiakin was spotted with a huge stack at this table, while Steve O'Dwyer had recently departed.
Grigoli Liklikadze had made an open-raise from the cutoff when Omar Del Pino three-bet to 10,500 on the button. The action folded back to Liklikadze, who four-bet jammed for 35,000.
Del Pino instantly called, tabling the cards.
Grigoli Liklikadze: 9♠9♦
Omar Del Pino: Q♠Q♦
Liklikadze did not improve on the 6♠8♦10♣J♣10♦ board, seeing Del Pino's queens eliminate him.
In a battle of the blinds between players who have already picked up trophies this week, Diogo Coelho and Leo Worthington-Leese, the pot had swollen to 80,000 with a completed board reading 4♠5♥3♠10♠J♣.
Coelho checked to his opponent, who moved all in for around 41,000 with the covering stack. Coelho, who had about 35,000 left behind, looked pained and went into the tank.
After about two minutes, he peered across the dealer trying to get a look at his opponent, who remained stoic throughout. Coelho lent back in his chair, clasped his hands behind his head, and suddenly made the call.
Worthington-Leese tabled A♠8♥ for ace-high, having missed his flopped straight draw and turned nut flush draw, while Coelho had 7♠7♣ for third pair sevens, sending him the double-up and leaving the Brit with crumbs, which was reduced to nothing not much later.
At least 40,000 was in the middle, with the board reading J♦9♥3♣5♣, in a hand between Jiaming Zhao and Ivan Banic.
Zhao, who had around a pot-sized bet left behind, checked to Banic, who moved all in with the covering stack. Zhao took some time to think, and eventually the clock was called.
With the countdown on, suddenly Zhao made the call.
Jiaming Zhao: 4♠4♣
Ivan Banic: Q♠Q♦
Zhao had made the hero-call with fourth pair fours, but had found himself down to two outs versus Banic's overpair queens.
The J♣ river was not one of those outs, and he departed the tournament area. Banic meanwhile moves towards the 300,000 mark.
The action was caught on a turn of J♣7♦5♠7♥. Adi Rajkovic in middle position checked to Marco Poccia in the cutoff. Poccia bet 15,500 into a pot of 45,000, which Rajkovic raised to 36,000.
Poccia tossed in a call and also called when Rajkovic shoved all in for 70,000 on the 5♣ river. Poccia only had 65,000 chips and was eliminated as Rajkovic had a full house with 8♣7♣.
Short-stack Sebastien Compte got his last 6,000 into the middle, and was looked up by Ivan Stankov.
Sebastien Compte: A♦8♣
Ivan Stankov: A♠10♣
Compte's ace was dominated, and although a chop seemed possible, he exited after the K♠5♠6♣K♥9♥ runout, Stankov's better kicker playing.
