Eleftherios Sinnos raised to 6,000 from the hijack before Andrei Konopelko made it 19,500 from the button. Paul Lagan cold-called from the big blind, prompting Sinnos to make it 70,000. Konopelko five-bet jammed for around 160,000. Lagan folded, but Sinnos snap-called.
Andrei Konopelko: K♦K♣
Eleftherios Sinnos: A♦A♥
Konopelko's 50 plus big blind stack headed over to SInnos after the aces remained best following the Q♥7♥7♦6♣Q♣ runout.
On a completed board of Q♣8♦2♣K♥10♣, Adrian Mateos checked from the cutoff to Timo Kamphues on the button. Kamphues piled in a bet of 48,000, more than the pot of 35,000.
Mateos spent some time in the tank and then flicked in a calling chip. He was shown 9♣8♣ by Kamphues for a flush, prompting him to muck his cards and surrender the pot.
Mohamad El Rais opened to 6,000 from middle position before Gerard Carbo jammed for 14,000 from the small blind. Sergei Varnaev four-bet to 29,000 from the big blind and El Rais called.
Varnaev check-folded to a bet of 25,000 on the 8♣3♦3♥ flop and the cards were tabled.
Gerard Carbo: A♣9♥
Mohamad El Rais: 10♥10♦
The board completed with the Q♠5♦ and Carbo exited.
On a flop of Q♠K♠Q♦, Ibrahim Ghassan got his remaining stack of around 45,000 into the middle and Karolis Sereika called.
Ibrahim Ghassan: K♦J♦
Karolis Sereika: A♣K♣
It didn't look good for Ghassan as he didn't have much hope of winning the pot, but there were a few chop outs still in the deck. However, the 6♠ turn wasn't one of them, and neither was the A♠ river as Sereika improved to aces up, which meant Ghassan was eliminated.
Andreas Tomazou opened to 6,000 from under the gun, receiving a call from Luca Stevanato in middle position, before Philip Joyce produced a three-bet to 25,500 from the small blind. Only Tomazou called.
On the A♦8♣7♠ flop, Joyce continued with a bet of 15,000, which didn't persuade Tomazou to go anywhere.
The A♥ rolled off on the turn, and Joyce continued with the aggression, firing out a bet of 55,000, leading to a swift fold from Tomazou.
Viktor Ustimov raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Guy Taylor three-bet the big blind to 28,000. Ustimov then shoved, and Taylor called off his stack of a little under 150,000.
Guy Taylor: A♦K♦
Viktor Ustimov: A♠K♥
Taylor was looking to use his extra equity to score a double-up, but instead was left staring elimination in the face as the flop of 8♥6♥10♥ gave Ustimov a flush draw. Taylor faded the heart on the 7♣ turn and the J♠ river, which kept him alive with twelve eliminations to go until the money bubble bursts.
Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 6,000 from middle position and called when Roman Stoica three-bet to 18,000 from the hijack.
Tsouloftas check-called for 8,000 on the J♥5♦4♣ flop and then led out for 18,000 on the 4♦ turn. Stoica made it 60,000, and Tsouloftas stuck around for one more street.
The Q♥ river checked through to showdown and Tsouloftas tabled 6♠6♦. Stoica couldn't beat the middling pocket pair and mucked his hand.
A big pot of 90,000 was in the middle between Mihai Niste in the small blind and Nicolas Chouity in the cutoff. Niste then checked the 4♣5♥J♦6♠ to Chouity, who made a bet of 23,000.
Niste made the call to the 8♣ river, where both players checked. Chouity tabled K♣J♠ for a pair of jacks, taking down the pot and reaching the 400,000 mark.
Erik Lindqwist raised from under the gun and called when Mehmet Deniz moved all in for 18,000 from the hijack.
Mehmet Deniz: J♣J♠
Erik Lindqwist: A♥Q♥
Deniz made a set on the K♥J♥10♣ flop, but Lindqwist improved to Broadway to take the lead. The 3♠ turn saw Deniz leave his chair but he quickly sat back down after filling up on the 10♠ river.
