Burim Mahmudi raised from the button and ended up getting his stack of around 75,000 into the middle against Arian Kashani from the small blind.
Burim Mahmudi: A♣Q♠
Arian Kashani: K♥K♠
Mahmudi did have an overcard to Kashani's kings and was hoping to see an ace on board to double up. More outs arrived for Mahmudi on the J♥8♦9♣ flop as he picked up a gutshot, but the 3♠ turn and 6♥ river wasn't what he needed, which left him on the sidelines.
Kashani has around half a million now as the bubble edges a little closer!

Michal Zubek was all in for around 90,000 from the cutoff and had been put at risk by Tatiana Kropaneva in the big blind.
Michal Zubek: 3♦3♣
Tatiana Kropaneva: K♠Q♣
Zubek was flipping for his tournament life and his pocket threes were good through the 2♥10♠6♣ flop. A 6♥ on the turn added a few extra outs for Kropaneva, but the 8♥ river was a brick, which meant Zubek doubled up.

Luigi Pignataro opened to 17,000 from early position. Birger Larsen then three-bet to 54,000 from the cutoff. Clement Poletti called in the small blind for 18,000 and was covered by both players.
Pignataro went into the tank before folding.
Clement Poletti: A♠9♥
Birger Larsen: A♣8♦
Poletti stayed ahead across the 2♣2♥10♣ flop and stayed ahead on the 4♠ turn. The 8♠ gave Larsen two pair and the pot, eliminating Poletti in the process. He wished the table luck before departing the tournament area.

With 248 runners still in the field and 238 spots in the money and on Day 2, it means just ten more eliminations are needed before play is done for the day.
Three of the big stacks are seated on the same table — Kimon Fountoukidis (480,000), Lukas Pazma (430,000), and Nico Wendlant (370,000).
Just nine more eliminations are needed. Will there be some fireworks on Table 26 before the day ends?
