Govert Metaal and Florian Ribouchon played in a pot that amounted to 29,000 by the time the river had arrived. With the board reading Q♥2♣2♦K♠A♥, Metaal sat in the small blind and decided to put Ribouchon all in for his final 31,100 chips.
Ribouchon thought it over on the button for a good while, but eventually flicked in a chip or two to signify a call. Metaal showed A♦K♦ for top two pair, which bested the AxQx that Ribouchon quickly flashed before tossing them into the muck.
Ribouchon took his leave while Metaal chipped up to be among the leaders going in to the dinner break.

With around 17,000 in the middle to the Q♦Q♣4♥ flop, Hannes Jeschka bet 3,000 out of the big blind and Lewis Spencer called on the button. They then checked the J♥ on the turn and Jeschka bet the A♦ on the river for 7,000.
Spencer glanced at the tournament info screen and elected to fold.

Clement Kerrien opened to 1,200 from the hijack before Jean-Noel Thorel made it 3,000 to go from the button. Vladimir Lipnitskii then put in a four-bet to 8,000 from the big blind and only Thorel called.
Lipnitskii continued for 3,000 on the 7♥9♥K♠ flop, which Thorel called. The 7♦ turn saw Lipnitskii slow down with a check, after which Thorel instantly moved all in for 15,600. Lipnitskii took a bit of time but eventually made the call to put France's all-time money leader at risk.
Jean-Noel Thorel: J♣9♣
Vladimir Lipnitskii: J♠J♦
Lipnitskii had Thorel's pair dominated, and the 5♦ river did nothing to change that. Thorel took his leave while Lipnitskii stacked his newly acquired chips.

In a preflop raising contest, the chips of Samuel Prieto Roldan and Jan Kesänen went into the middle of the table with the Spaniard all-in and at risk for 37,900.
Samuel Prieto Roldan: A♥K♠
Jan Kesänen: Q♦Q♣
Kesänen was ahead for the showdown but that changed on the K♥6♣4♦ flop. The 4♠ turn and 6♦ river changed nothing more and Prieto Roldan doubled to cut the stack of his opponent nearly in half.

What started as a limped pot then brought the squeeze of Jason Wheeler in the big blind, and he was only called by Mustafa Simsek. Wheeler then bet all the way on the 9♠5♥4♣ flop for 2,600, 7,000 on the K♥ turn as well as 20,000 on the 8♣ river with 100 chips behind.
Simsek called the first two bets and then went deep into the tank on the river before coming along with the marginally bigger stack. Wheeler showed his A♠10♠ for a bluff and Simsek won the pot with the 7♦7♠, leaping out of his seat to brief a sigh of relief.
Wheeler was forced all-in the next hand and busted, wished everyone good luck and bumped fists with Simsek before heading out.

Roman Hrabec had raised from the hijack before Jason Lau jammed all in for 6,900. The action folded back to Hrabec, who put in a call.
Jason Lau: Q♠Q♦
Roman Hrabec: J♣10♠
Lau had Hrabec drawing slim on the 7♥4♣Q♣ flop, and the Q♥ turn gave him quads to lock up the pot.
"One more!" Hrabec joked while the 6♥ river completed the board, and he paid Lau what he was owed.
