Justin Steinbrenner was all-in for around 47,000 having three-bet jammed over an open, but then been looked up by Yunkyu Song behind.
Justin Steinbrenner: Q♥Q♦ 
Yunkyu Song: A♠K♥
It was the classic race, and the 6♥2♥6♣ flop was clear for Steinbrenner, but the A♦ rolled off on the turn to put Song ahead.
The 3♥ river was not the two-outer Steinbrenner required. He wished the table good luck as he departed.
Sardor Shagulyamov was all-in for his last 13,500 from the big blind and was at risk to Danielle Noja, who was in the cutoff.
Sardor Shagulyamov: A♠7♣
Danielle Noja: A♦Q♦
The K♣3♠2♠10♠8♦ runout kept Noja ahead, and Shagulyamov left his seat. However, Noja thought Shagulyamov had spades for the flush, and a table neighbour pointed out that he had won the pot.
"What good are these?" laughed Noja as he pointed to his glasses. He was pleased to take in the pot and broke the 100,000 mark.
Hakan Tatli was a Day 2 entry but didn't manage to last a full level as his stack was sent over to Andras Nemeth after the two got the chips in.
Hakan Tatli: K♠Q♦
Andras Nemeth: A♥10♣
Tatli fell further behind on the 9♠A♦4♠ flop and was drawing dead by the time the 8♣ hit the turn. A meaningless 8♠ landed on the river, which meant Tatli was eliminated and Nemeth closed in on a stack of 200,000.
PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton moved all in for 18,000 from middle position and was called by Kazuomi Furuse from the button.
Sam Grafton: K♠J♠
Kazuomi Furuse: A♥K♥
Grafton was dominated and had three immediate outs. The 9♣8♣8♥ flop was of no help to the Englishman, but the Q♠ turn gave him a straight draw to go along with his jack outs. The 2♦ completed the board and confirmed Grafton's departure, with Furuse taking in the pot.
Action folded to Tom Kunze in the cutoff, who opened to 3,000. Andrey Daniliuk was in the small blind, and he give the spot some thought, before three-bet jamming for 36,000. Kunze asked for a count and made the quick call.
Andrey Daniliuk: A♣K♥
Tom Kunze: 8♥8♣
Daniliuk was behind in a race, and he whiffed the 9♥6♥3♦5♠J♥ runout, sending Kunze above the 150,000 mark.
Sebastian Malec opened to 3,500 from the cutoff before Vadzim Lipauka made it 12,500 from the button. Vedat Mutlu then moved all in for 22,500 from the big blind. Malec mulled over his options, before clicking it to 32,500. Lipauka spent some time in the tank while the action was on him, and he ultimately folded for the cards to go on their backs.
Vedat Mutlu: A♥J♦
Sebastian Malec: K♦K♥
The 7♠7♥6♣ flop kept Malec ahead, and he secured the checkmark after filling up on the K♠ turn. The 4♠ completed the board and Mutlu departed.
After just clashing in a pot, Andrew Hulme and Alexane Najchaus were back at it in a hand which ended with a casualty.
On a board of 3♣2♠8♦, Andrew Hulme had checked it over to Najchaus, who bet 3,000. Hulme then put in the check-raise to 9,000, which Najchaus called.
A 10♥ landed on the turn and Hulme shove for 15,000, Najchaus snap-called.
Andrew Hulme: J♥8♣
Alexane Najchaus: Q♥Q♠
Hulme did have a few outs, but couldn't find any of them as the 7♦ river meant he hit the rail in the opening level.
Kemal Aslan opened to 3,000 from the hijack before Aleksandr Timoshenko jammed for 21,500 from the button. Samir Moukawem rejammed for 30,500 from the small blind, which folded out the remaining players.
