Jaesung Lee raised from middle position and Nuno Capucho moved all in from the button for 120,000. Lee called with the bigger stack and players turned their cards.
Nuno Capucho: A♥K♦
Jaesung Lee: Q♥10♥
The board ran out 7♣8♥6♠8♠5♠. Capucho held with ace-high and doubled his stack to make the bubble.
Lukas Hafner opened 16,000 in early position, and Julien Gal pushed the rest of his 28,000 across the line from the big blind. Hafner called.
Julien Gal: K♠Q♣
Lukas Hafner: 3♥3♣
It was a coin flip as the board ran out J♥J♣J♦10♥9♥, giving Gal a straight, but Hafner took it down with a full house.
Athanasios Tavlas open shoved from middle position for 50,000 and Sandro Pitzanti moved all in from the next seat across with the bigger stacks. Players flipped their cards.
Athanasios Tavlas: J♥8♥
Sandro Pitzanti: 8♠8♦
The board ran out 3♥8♣6♠2♥2♣. The only remaining eight in the deck came on the flop, giving Tavlas a pair of eights and Pitzanti a set of eights. The turn brought Tavlas hope in the form of a flush draw and Pitzanti took a deep breathe before the river improved him to a full house.
Pitzanti won the pot and Tavlas was eliminated close to the bubble.
Antoine Jallon was all-in for just 55,000 and his A♦J♣ was dominated. Anthony Kennedy had the superior A♣Q♥ and remained ahead all the way on the 9♦7♥4♣Q♦2♠ runout.
With about 100,000 in the pot already, the turn read 9♥7♥2♠9♣, and Georgi Sandev check-raised all-in for 74,000 against the bet of 50,000 from Salvino Belhoul. Belhoul called.
Georgi Sandev: J♦J♣
Salvino Belhoul: 7♠5♠
Sandev's jacks were good on the 4♥ river, sending the double up his way.
Only around 185 players remain and the latest all-in showdown reduced the field by two hopefuls in the following contest.
Fabien Jacqueline: J♠10♠
Tamer Kamel: A♣J♣
Stefan Dimitrov: A♦Q♥
Dimitrov had the biggest stack and best hand against two opponents. The Q♠4♣2♦ cemented his lead while he 3♥ turn gave Tamer Kamel some chop outs. Nothing changed with the 10♦ river and Dimitrov claimed the entire pot to move up to nearly half a million in chips.
It appears that this is not the lead, however, as Lukas Hafner has even more chips.
Yang Zhang opened to 12,000 from middle position before Candido Cappiello three-bet to 30,000 on his direct left. Zhang, the bigger stack, moved all in and Cappiello called off his stack of 154,000.
Candido Cappiello: 10♦10♣
Yang Zhang: A♠6♠
Cappiello's tens remained best and were never troubled following the 2♣2♦J♣9♦9♥ runout. A few hands later, Zhang was eliminated.
On a board of A♣7♣5♦Q♣7♥ with 114,000 in the middle, David Tous Rosich bet 100,000. Espen Nikolaisen went into the tank and folded.
Shortly after, Finn Zwad pushed for 52,000 and Tous Rosich looked him up.
Finn Zwad: 9♥9♠
David Tous Rosich: Q♠Q♦
The board ran out A♦8♥6♠8♠2♥ and Zwad will have to jump into the final turbo heat.
"Write it down, he should be out and now he is playing like crazy," Bernard Mendy joked.
Samuel Prieto Roldan moved all in for 44,000 from early position and was called by Simone Andrian from the big blind.
Samuel Prieto Roldan: A♠4♣
Simone Andrian: 9♦9♣
Andrian's pair remained best following the 2♣5♥6♥10♠8♣ runout.
Scott Margereson opened 12,000 and Timo Kamphues three-bet to 30,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Margereson and he jammed for 69,000. Kamphues snap-called.
Scott Margereson: K♠K♦
Timo Kamphues: A♣Q♦
The J♠10♦8♥ flop gave Kamphues a double gutshot straight draw but Margereson was able to fade it as the Q♥ hit the turn, and the 4♦ landed on the river.
