Samuel Ju raised to 12,000 in the cutoff, then called when small blind Levente Szabo moved all in for 100,000.
Levente Szabo: 6♠6♣
Samuel Ju: K♣Q♦
Szabo needed his sixes to hold on to double up and he successfully dodged the 7♥A♦8♥5♦8♦ board to stay alive in the tournament.
Lukas Hafner and Anton Wigg were heads up on a board of A♠4♦3♣7♣7♠. Hafner bet 17,000 chips into the 60,000 pot from middle position and Wigg raised to 55,000.
After some deliberation, Hafner tossed in the call and got shown A♣10♣ for two pair. Hafner could not beat those cards as his hand was added to the muck.
Leon Sturm raised to 10,000 in early position before Bruno Bernardino moved all in for 50,000 on the button. Anatoly Korochenskiy called in the small blind, then let out a laugh. "I didn't see you," he told Sturm. Sturm then reshoved and Korochenskiy snap-called for 194,000.
"So you do have aces," Sturm said.
Bruno Bernardino: 7♣7♥
Anatoly Korochenskiy: K♥K♠
Leon Sturm: 8♥8♠
Korochenskiy didn't have aces, but he did have Sturm crushed with two kings. Sturm picked up a straight draw heading to the river on a board of 9♠5♦10♠J♥, but he missed the 5♥ as Korochenskiy doubled up and busted Bernardino.

Highlights
Jose Espina open-jammed for 20,000 chips from the hijack and Benjamin Spragg called from the button. Gary mamou then raised to 62,000 from the small blind, which forced Spragg to fold.
Jose Espina: A♠5♠
Gary Mamou: A♥K♣
Espina did not manage to beat the superior ace on Q♣2♦10♥4♣8♠ and headed out of the tournament area to pick up his min-cash, along with many others.
Rachid El Yaacoubi moved all in for 130,000 from the big blind and Jon Clark put him at risk under the gun.
Rachid El Yaacoubi: Q♦Q♣
Jon Clark: A♠A♦
El Yaacoubi had run his queens into Clark's aces and found no miracles on the 7♥4♠2♣6♦2♠ board to get sent straight to the payout desk.
In the first hand after the bubble, Walter Treccarichi opened to 8,000 and was faced with a three-bet to 26,000 by Johan Schultz-Pederson.
Action folded to Gianluca Speranza in the small blind, who reached for raising chips and produced a cold four-bet jam, covering both of his opponents.
Treccarichi quickly folded while Schultz-Pedersen got the rest of his stack, around 170,000, in the middle.
Johan Schultz-Pedersen: A♠K♠
Gianluca Speranza: K♦K♥
Pedersen had been unfortunate to run into Speranza's kings and the 7♠9♥4♥10♥7♥ runout confirmed his exit, Speranza ultimately holding a king-high flush.
Alessandro Minasi raised to 10,000 in early position, then called when Karim Alleg moved all in for 61,000 in middle position.
Karim Alleg: 9♥9♣
Alessandro Minasi: A♣8♣
Alleg was ahead with his nines through the turn on a board of 10♦7♠J♥4♣, but Minasi hit the A♥ on the river to send Alleg to the rail as one of the first post-bubble bustouts.
