Around 12,000 was in the middle on a flop of Q♥7♥2♣, when Francesco Malcarne check-called an all-in bet of 16,500 from Olivier Paris.
Olivier Paris: K♥10♥ 
Francesco Malcarne: J♣J♦
Paris needed some help with a flush draw and one overcard to Malcarne's second pair jacks, but the 3♠9♣ turn and river were bricks.

There was a collective shout from Table 37 after a hand involving Burim Mahmudi and Rubens Sellam. The pair had gotten their chips in pre-flop with Sellam all-in and at risk for his last 41,900.
Rubens Sellam: J♦J♣
Burim Mahmudi: A♠A♥
The flop Q♥8♥4♥ took away one of Sellam's outs and the turn 7♦ meant he needed to hit just one card to stay alive. The J♠ was exactly that card, hitting a one-outer to double up and stay alive in the Eureka Main Event.

Clock had been called at Table 6 for a hand involving Javier Martinez Estivill and Danut-Florin Chisu.
The board read J♠10♦3♥10♠A♥ and Estivill was facing a bet of 4,500 into a pot of 12,000. He eventually open-folded a jack halfway through his clock.
"Can we get a timer for the table," asked David Foldy. "The pace of play is horrible. They're treating it like the bubble of the Main Event."
Two players said that it wasn't that bad, with Vojtech Ondracek also chiming in.
"It's not that bad," he said. "But if everyone takes 10 seconds every time it all adds up."

Piotr Kanonowicz opened and was three-bet by Francesco Di Profio. Severi Palmu four-bet all in and Sergei Mikhalev five-bet all in.
Kanonowicz and Di Profio also moved all in for what was ultimately an eye-catching four-way all-in.
Severi Palmu: J♦J♥
Francesco Di Profio: A♠A♣
Piotr Kanonowicz: A♦A♥
Sergei Mikhalev: K♦K♥
Pictures were taken and the table murmured as the board ran out 10♠9♦5♦5♣3♠ sending Palmu to the rail. Mikhalev sent most of his chips over to Di Profio and Kanonowicz, and was left with just 1,000 chips. He busted shortly thereafter.
