Kristian Dahl raised from middle position, Felix Schneiders three-bet jammed for around 15,000, from the button, and Dahl called.
Felix Schneiders: K♠Q♥
Kristian Dahl: A♣A♥
Schneiders had run into aces and the 6♥4♠9♠ flop meant his chances of survival were slim. The 9♥ turn confirmed the win for Dahl and Schneiders exited the tournament floor on the 10♥ river.
Action was picked up on a flop of 6♥6♠A♣, where Martin Kabrhel bet 10,000, and Roni Ezra called. Both Torben Hasseriis and Juha Helppi folded.
The turn brought the 5♥, and Kabrhel, after ensuring no one could see his cards, fired a bet of 40,000. Ezra folded, and Kabrhel declared he had the effective nuts while collecting the pot.
Julijan Rados raised to 11,000 from the hijack, Bongcheol Choi three-bet jammed for 35,000, from the cutoff, and Rados called.
Bongcheol Choi: A♠A♦
Julijan Rados: A♣Q♠
Choi held a commanding lead, however, the 7♣8♣9♣ gave Rados a flush draw. The 8♥ turn proved no threat but the J♣ river improved Rados to a flush and Choi was sent to the rail
