Ludovic Kis raised to 3,600 and Aleksejs Ponakovs on the button three-bet to 8,700. Giuseppe Cimelli then piled in his last 9,200 in the big blind and Kis folded, Ponakovs came along.
Giuseppe Cimelli: K♣9♦
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♠10♠
The K♥10♥5♠3♥2♠ board left Kis somewhat stunned and he then mentioned "ace ten of diamonds".
Jonathan Therme raised from an early position and then called the big blind shove by Fabio Peluso for the last 11,400.
Fabio Peluso: K♦Q♠
Jonathan Therme: A♠J♣
Peluso had two live cards at his disposal, one of which came on the 6♠5♣4♠Q♥J♦ runout.
Renji Mao opened to 2,500 from early position and was called by Cesar Garcia on the button, Max Petzelberger in the small blind, and [Removed:607] in the big blind for a four-way pot.
It was checked to Mao on the 10♠J♦2♦ flop and he continued for 5,000. Garcia and Petzelberger called, but [Removed:608] folded.
Petzelberger checked again to Mao on the 5♥ turn and Mao fired 16,000 into the middle. This time only Petzelberger called.
The 2♥ completed the board and Petzelberger checked a final time, prompting a shove for 44,000 from Mao.
Petzelberger went deep into the tank before calling and Mao tabled A♠J♣. Petzelberger revealed A♣J♥ for the same two pair and they chopped up the pot.
The pot stood at approximately 7,000 with three players looking at a full board that read 7♠A♠K♠9♠10♠.
Leo Worthington-Leese, in the small blind, bet out 4,200. Owen Messere, in the big blind, responded with a raise to 17,000 and Dominik Nitsche folded in the hijack.
Worthington-Leese remained in the tank for some time before making the call. Messere tabled 5♠3♠ for a flopped flush that had been counterfeited by the river, while Worthington-Leese won this pot with 9♦8♠ for a higher flush.
Players are dropping fast in the Main Event. In one such hand, Mykhailo Gutyi was all in preflop from the small blind for around 13,000 against Jerome Finck on the button, who had Gutyi covered as players flipped their cards.
Mykhailo Gutyi: J♥J♠
Jerome Finck: A♥K♦
The board ran out 8♥4♦10♠A♣Q♥. Finck hit a pair of aces on the turn to pull ahead of Gutyi's pocket jacks. Finck held and Gutyi was knocked out of the tournament.
Cedric Ghanassia raised from the button and Gerard Carbo moved all in from the small blind with a short stack. Ghanassia called and had his opponent covered as the cards were turned.
Gerard Carbo: K♦Q♦
Cedric Ghanassia: A♦9♠
The board ran out 2♦5♠3♥8♥7♠. Neither player improved and so Ghanassia held with his ace high to win the pot, sending Carbo to the exit.
Three ways to the K♠3♣2♦ flop, Tobias Hausen checked in an early position. Rayane Mokhtar bet 3,500 in the cutoff and Eleftherios Papangelis raised to 8,500 on the button. Hausen tank-folded while Mokhtar called.
Both checked the 7♠ turn and the 9♠ river completed the board. Mokhtar now jammed for around 13,000 and Papangelis snap-called with the 9♥9♦. Mokhtar only had A♥A♠ and was knocked out right before their table broke.
"What a strange hand ... if he doesn't do that, you double. I had the king," Hausen told Mokhtar and then added "for whatever reason, I thought he had nines".
Gheorghe Fedorca opened to 2,500 from early position and was called by Erdal Gulseven in the small blind and Justin Saliba in the big blind.
It was checked to Fedorca on the K♦8♠3♠ flop and he continued for 3,200. Only Saliba called.
Saliba check-called a 5,700 bet from Fedorca on the 5♦ turn and checked a final time after the 5♥ completed the board. Fedorca wasn't done betting and put 10,800 into the middle — sending Saliba into the tank.
Saliba eventually put in a single chip to denote a call and Fedorca could only show A♥9♦. Saliba turned over 8♣4♣ for two pair and collected the pot.
The action was caught as Marle Spragg was leaving the tournament floor and the pot was being awarded to opponent David Wintersberger. Both hands were tabled and the board had been run out as it read K♠6♣7♠Q♥5♣.
Marle Spragg: A♣10♦
David Wintersberger: KxQx
Spragg's ace-high was no good against Wintersberger's king-queen which improved to top pair, sending Spragg to the rail.
