The pot stood at 134,000 with two players looking at a full board of A♦K♦K♥6♥9♥.
Juan Pardo, in the big blind, led out for 70,000. Joao Vieira, who was in the cutoff, thought for some time as the bet was for a considerable portion of his remaining chips.
Vieira used a total of seven time bank chips before making the call. Pardo tabled 2♣2♦ for an underpair to the board, while Vieira showed A♠9♠ to claim this pot.
The flop read A♠A♥2♣ and 175,000 was in the middle already in a pot between Aleksejs Ponakovs and Alex Kulev.

On the 10♦ turn, Ponakovs check-called a bet of 80,000 from Kulev.
The river brought the J♠ and Ponakovs checked to Kulev. Kulev pondered the spot for a moment before sliding out a bet of 400,000, covering Ponakovs remaining stack.
Ponakovs blew out his cheeks and went deep into the tank. Four time banks were disposed of before Ponakovs folded, just before his hand was declared dead, sending a chunky pot to Kulev.
Kulev is now among the chip leaders, could he make it back to back EPT Monte Carlo Super High Roller wins?

Both Justin Bonomo, in middle position and David Yan, in the hijack, checked to the 4♥ river. Bonomo elected to place a bet large enough to put Yan all in for his effective stack of 105,000, overbetting the pot.
Yan burned through several time banks before making the call.
David Yan: 10♥10♣ 
Justin Bonomo: A♠J♦
Bonomo's top two pair was enough to send Yan to the rail.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: 10♥10♣
Morten Klein: A♠K♣
The board ran out A♣Q♠6♠8♠3♥. This flip fell in favor of Klein and Yaroshevskyy was sent to the rail.
