Nikita Kuznetsov was down to around 45,000 chips when he shoved them in from the cutoff. Jakob Miegel made the call from the small blind and the pair showed down.
Nikita Kuznetsov: A♦6♦
Jakob Miegel: J♠J♥
Miegel's jacks faced little resistance on the 4♣4♥Q♥Q♣7♦ runout, resulting in the elimination on Kuznetsov, who joined many others on the rail in the early stages of Day 2.
Franck Makaci open-shoved his final 37,000 chips from under the gun and was looked up by Daniel Rezaei on the button.
Franck Makaci: A♦J♦
Daniel Rezaei: Q♦10♦
"I only saw one card," Makaci claimed as the 2♣3♦7♦2♠9♣ board ran out and awarded him the victory.

The action folded to the short-stacked Julien Sitbon in the small blind, who limped in. Sirzat Hissou checked in the big blind, and both players knuckled the table on the Q♠6♥3♦ flop.
The 2♦ turn then fell and Sitbon put in a pot-sized bet of 9,000 chips. Hissou did not deem that enough, however, and put all his chips in the middle, covering Sitbon's 30,000-chip stack.
Sitbon thought it over for a while, talking a bit to his opponent in the meantime. Eventually, he made the call for his tournament life.
Julien Sitbon: Q♦8♣
Sirzat Hissou: Q♣7♥
The 5♥ river completed the board and Sitbon's kicker remained in play.
"Slowroll," Alejandro Lococo said jokingly.
"A little bit," Sitbon admitted with a smile on his face while he raked in the pot and doubled up his dire stack.
Franck Makaci opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Daisuke Ogita called from the button. Daniel Rezaei then made it 24,000 to go from the big blind, receiving a call from only Ogita.
The flop spelled 6♥9♥8♠ and was checked by both players, after which the pair did the same on the 9♣ turn.
The Q♣ river saw Rezaei bet 75,000 chips, leaving only one T-500 chip behind. Ogita pondered his options for a bit before flicking in a calling chip. Rezaei tabled K♠K♦ for two pair, and Ogita's cards hit the muck as the pot was shipped the Austrian's way.
Jakob Miegel raised from under the gun, after which Joao Vieira three-bet jammed his stack of roughly 50,000 chips in the middle from the button.
The action folded back to Miegel, who instantly called to put Vieira at risk.
Joao Vieira: 9♠9♣
Jakob Miegel: 10♠10♦
Miegel had the higher pocket pair, and it would remain the best hand on the 3♦A♥4♦A♠6♦ runout, sending Vieira out as the first casualty of the day.
Players have taken their seats and cards are in the air for the final day of the €10,200 Mystery Bounty.
