Teun Mulder raised to 5,500 under the gun and received three callers, including Florian Duta in the cutoff, before Casimir Seire three-bet to 37,500 in the big blind. Mulder moved all in for 135,000 and everyone folded back to Seire who snap-called.
Teun Mulder: A♠J♣
Casimir Seire: J♦J♥
Mulder needed to pair his ace to stay alive but none arrived on the 10♦10♥6♠2♥4♦ board to send him to the rail.
Sergei Petrushevskii raised to 6,000 in the hijack before Andre Marques three-bet to 17,500 in the cutoff. Stefan Olofsson called in the big blind, as did Petrushevskii.
The flop came 3♥J♠5♣ and Marques continued for 14,000. Only Petrushevskii called to see the J♦ turn.
Marques bet another 30,000 and Petrushevskii again called. The river was the 10♣ and Marques moved all in, having Petrushevskii's last 90,000 covered.
Petrushevskii tanked for more than five minutes until the clock was eventually called. The countdown nearly reached zero before he tossed K♥J♥ into the muck. Marques showed him K♦9♠ as he took the pot.
"Good hand. Good play," Petrushevskii told him.
Daniel Custodio and Thomas Saminadin were on a completed board of 5♣4♦7♣6♥2♥, with 100,000 chips already gathered in the middle.
Custodio checked from the big blind before Saminadin fired 43,000 from the hijack. Custodio took a few moments to think things through but ultimately tossed in a call.
Saminadin could only show Q♦J♦ for queen-high, while Custodio had called with A♦5♠ for third pair. The chips were shipped to Custodio, who obtained a stack of nearly three times the average.
Around 108,000 was in the middle and the board read 7♥3♣4♣3♠ in a hand between Joshua Duce on the button and Jose Espina in the small blind.
Espina had checked to Duce, who moved all in for 115,000.
Espina went deep into the tank, taking at least five minutes and at a couple of points blowing out his cheeks and giving the table a quiet tap in frustation.
He just couldn't make a decision, and eventually the clock was called. As time began to run out, Espina disposed of his hand sending a nice pot to Duce.
There was only a small main pot with a completed board and cards revealed over on table 20. The stacks of Teun Mulder and Alexander Wurz were counted as it was a close affair on the 9♦8♠2♠4♦10♠ runout.
Wurz's 7♥6♠ for the bottom end of the straight ended up being no good as Mulder had Q♣J♦ for the nut straight. He also covered the 54,000 of Wurz to reduce the field by one.
The action started with a raise to 5,000 by Gonzalo Almeida and Kevin Fernandez Ferrer then pushed all-in from one seat over in the hijack. Pierre Merlin called all-in out of the cutoff for around four blinds and the action then reached Lewis Spencer in the small blind.
"How much is the bigger one?" Spencer inquired and the shove by Fernandez Ferrer was for 37,000 total, which the Brit just called. Almeida got out of the way and the cards were revealed.
Pierre Merlin: 4♥4♣
Kevin Fernandez Ferrer: A♦K♣
Lewis Spencer: Q♦Q♣
Merlin took the lead with the 7♣4♠3♦ flop for a potential quadruple up and retained it on the 8♣ turn. He only needed to dodge a queen but the Q♥ fell on the river to give Spencer the superior set for a double knockout.
The pot had already grown to 50,000 chips when the flop of 4♣Q♣4♦ was spread. Benny Glaser checked out of the hijack, after which Volga Uyanik made a bet of 16,000 in the cutoff.
Glaser made the call and the 10♣ was turned. Glaser checked once more, but this time he folded when Uyanik sized up to 26,000 chips.
Virgile Turchi raised to 6,000 under the gun before Timothy Adams three-bet to 16,500 in the cutoff. Turchi then four-bet to 40,000 and Adams moved all in for 132,000. Turchi snap-called.
Timothy Adams: A♠A♣
Virgile Turchi: K♠K♦
Turchi's kings had run right into Adams' aces as he found no help on the 5♣10♦3♦Q♣7♣ board to double Adams up.
In addition to a suddenly richer Adams, fellow high rollers Duco ten Haven and Artur Martirosian are also at this table.
Jamil Wakil opened to 6,000 on the button, only to be faced with a three-bet to 25,000 from Felipe Boianovsky in the big blind. After some thought Wakil called.
On the Q♠J♦5♦ flop Boianovsky continued with a bet of 17,500, which Wakil called.
On the J♣ turn Boianovsky checked to Wakil, who slid out a bet of 16,000. Boianovsky then reached for chips and produced a raise to 79,000. After a long period of thought Wakil called.
On the 2♥ river, Boianovsky took a couple of minutes before checking his option. Wakil checked quickly behind.
Boianovsky showed 10♦7♦ for the missed flush draw and Wakil showed 10♥10♠, allowing him to scoop a chunky pot.
