Markus Schottes was seen leaving his table with the rest of his stack heading over to Georgios Vrakas.
The chips were already in the middle on a full board of 6♦7♣5♣J♣Q♠ and Schottes' 10♥10♠ were good preflop, but not by the time showdown was reached as Vrakas' A♣10♣ hit the nut flush to earn the elimination.
Vrakas, who started the day with a little less than 60,000, now has well over 350,000.
Nina Krasilnikova open-jammed for 35,500 from early position, prompting Bernhard Binder to move all in just north of 200,000. The rest of the table got out of the way, and the cards went on their backs.
Nina Krasilnikova: 8♥8♣
Bernhard Binder: J♣J♠
Krasilnikova asked for an eight, but the K♥J♦9♣ flop rewarded Binder with a set of jacks instead. The K♣ confirmed Krasilnikova's exit ahead of the Q♥ river.
There were already around 35,000 chips in the middle on a board of J♦2♦K♦8♠ when Stefan Toderita checked, and Omar Del Pino bet 18,500. Toderita then put in a raise to 45,000, and Del Pino called after quite some time.
A 10♥ landed on the river and Toderita slid a stack of blue chips into the pot, which made a bet of 100,000. Del Pino had just over 90,000 remaining in his stack and after around two minutes of thinking, he elected to lay it down.
"Show for the TV," said one of the players in reference to the camera crews recording the hand. Toderita didn't bite and mucked his hand as he raked in the pot.
Three-way to a turn of 2♠5♠4♦3♦, Mihai Trofim checked from the big blind to Benjamin Spragg under the gun. Spragg fired 20,500, which folded out Alexandre Vuilleumier in the cutoff.
Trofim called to the 9♣ river, however, where he checked again. Spragg then jammed all in for 35,000. Trofim pondered for a while but eventually gave up the pot as the table broke after the hand.
Dean Hutchinson had gotten in his last 20,000 chips on a board of 7♣9♣10♠Q♦, Timo Kamphues folded, which left Radoslav Stoyanov to try and eliminate Hutchinson.
Dean Hutchinson: K♣K♥
Radoslav Stoyanov: 8♠6♠
Hutchinson's pocket kings only had four outs to a jack as Stoyanov had flopped a straight. Unfortunately for Hutchinson, the river was a brick, which meant he hit the rail as the money bubble looms closer.
Evagoras Evagorou jammed all in for 15,000 from early position and was called by Guillermo Gordo in the hijack, who only had a few more chips.
Evagoras Evagorou: 4♠4♥
Guillermo Gordo: A♣8♣
Gordo paired his eight on the 5♠8♠6♦6♥3♦ board to take the pot and eliminate Evagorou from the Main Event.
Leonidas Kostagiolas opened to 5,000 under the gun, and received a call from Tayfun Rodoplu in the next seat, before Valeriy Fokin produced a three-bet to 16,500 from the cutoff.
Action folded back to Kostagiolas, who called, and Rodolpu also came along for the ride.
The Q♦10♥8♦ flop was checked through. The Q♠ rolled off on the turn, and Kostagiolas led out with a bet of 20,000. Rodolpu called and Fokin folded.
On the 6♥ river, Kostagiolas jammed with the covering stack and Rodolpu's stack was in the middle almost before his opponent's.
Rodolpu tabled Q♣Q♥ for quad queens, while Kostagiolas had J♦7♦ for the missed flopped straight and flush draws.
Valeriy Fokin opened the action with a raise to 5,500 from the hijack. Nils Pudel then three-bet to 15,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way before Fokin called.
Fokin check-raised to 19,000 over a bet of 8,000 on the J♥2♦2♣ flop and folded out Pudel.
Gregoire Auzoux opened to 5,500 from under the gun and called when Ioannis Droushiotis moved all in for 16,000 from the hijack.
Ioannis Droushiotis:AxKx
Gregoire Auzoux:KxQx
Auzoux couldn't reverse his domination and doubled up his opponent after the A♠2♠7♥Q♦3♠ runout.
