Tom Middleton opened the action with a raise to 12,000 holding the A♥J♦ under the gun. Mehdi Merai three-bet to 32,000 in the hijack with K♠Q♦ and Salvatore Camarda went into the tank on the button, then lost one time bank before realising it.
The Italian held the A♣K♣ on the button to then move all-in a few seconds later.
Thomas Saminadin moved all in for 87,000 from the big blind and Gilles Cadignan called on the button.
Thomas Saminadin: A♣A♦
Gilles Cadignan: K♣K♠
Saminadin showed down two aces and was a big favorite to double up against Cadignan's kings as the board ran out 6♣4♦5♣10♣4♥ to earn him the pot.
At the same time at another table, Alexandre Reard got his last 80,000 in the middle under the gun and Ekrem Sanioglu put him at risk from the big blind.
Alexandre Reard: 9♣9♦
Ekrem Sanioglu: 10♥10♠
Reard was dominated by Sanioglu's tens and found no help on the 7♠4♦J♦3♣5♠ board as he was sent to the rail.
Olivier Rebello raised to 10,000 on the button with the 10♦6♦ and Salvatore Camarda called in the small blind with the 10♣8♣, Benjamin Spragg defended the big blind with 4♠3♠. The trio checked the A♥9♣8♥ flop and the 7♠ fell on the turn. Camarda bet 11,000 to force out Spragg, while Rebello raised to 37,000 and earned a call from Camarda.
The 6♥ river completed the board and they chopped it up.
Arthur Conan had already opened from early position and Eusebiu-Nicolae Jalba shoved for his last 100,000 from middle position.
Action folded back around to Conan, who called to put Jalba at risk.
Eusebiu-Nicolae Jalba: 8♥8♣
Arthur Conan: A♥K♠
It was a coin flip, but the 5♠6♦A♦4♦7♥ runout paired Conan's ace and Jalba was sent to the payout desk.
Ten players have been eliminated in as many minutes and they have all collected €9,900 for their efforts.
Volga Uyanik raised to 12,000 from the hijack, Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 35,000 on the button and Uyanik called.
Uyanik check-called a bet of 23,000 from Troyanovskiy on the 10♦2♥3♠ flop.
The Q♥ turn checked through to the 2♦ on the river.
Uyanik bet out 26,000 and Troyanovskiy made a quick call. Uyanik rolled over the A♥9♥ for ace high, while Troyanovskiy claimed this pot with J♠J♣.
Lewis Spencer raised to 10,000 under the gun, Simon Wiciak moved all in for 110,000 in the small blind, and Spencer called.
Simon Wiciak: K♦Q♦
Lewis Spencer: 9♣9♠
Wiciak was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 10♣8♣6♣. The 9♦ turn gave Spencer a set and Wiciak a straight draw, but Wiciak missed the 4♥ river and the newest Team PokerStars Pro and reigning EPT Barcelona champion was sent to the rail.
With around 50,000 in the pot blind versus blind and the board showing A♣4♣J♦2♣, Sergi Reixach led out for 33,000 and Panagiotis Mavritsakis called.
The river was the A♠ and Reixach used up nearly his entire shot clock before betting 60,000. Mavritsakis then raised to 300,000 and Reixach snap-folded.
Salvatore Camarda raised to 10,000 with the 8♠8♣ from an early position and Viacheslav Buldygin called in the big blind with the J♦7♦. They checked the A♠10♥8♦ flop and the K♦ turn gave Buldygin two gutshots as well as flush draw. He bet 20,000 and Camarda used one time bank before raising to 45,000.
Buldygin raised an eyebrow and eventually called, then check-folded the 4♣ river when Camarda jammed for the last 37,000.
