Gerald Karlic opened to 400,000 and received calls from Alexantr Spatharis and Michael Sklenicka in the blinds.
The J♦J♥4♥ flop was checked through. On the 3♣ turn, Spatharis led out with a bet of 400,000, and only Sklenicka called.
The 6♥ river completed the board, and Spatharis jammed for 5,000,000, just covering Sklenicka, who let his hand go. Spatharis showed K♦7♦ for air.
Konstantinos Nanos opened to 400,000, and called a three-bet to 1,300,000 from Theodoros Ampelikiotis in the next seat.
Nanos check-called a bet of 625,000 on the 7♣4♦2♥ flop, but check-folded to a bet of 1,700,000 on the A♠ turn.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Tim van Kemenade called from the small. Jack Sinclair took his option and raised to 600,000 from the big, which was met with a shove from Van Kemenade for approximately 3,000,000 total. Sinclair quickly called and a showdown was held.
Tim van Kemenade: 3♠3♦
Jack Sinclair: A♥Q♠
it was a race, but the 8♠9♦A♣6♣5♠ runout paired Sinclair's ace to eliminate Van Kemenade in 18th place.
Konstantinos Nanos opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Bartosz Piesiewicz shoved for his remaining stack from the small blind. Nanos quickly called to put Piesiewicz at risk and a showdown was held.
Bartosz Piesiewicz: A♥10♠
Konstantinos Nanos: Q♣Q♠
The board ran out 4♦Q♦A♣6♠6♥ — leaving Nanos best with queens-full and eliminating Piesiewicz in 19th place.
Vaclav Drbal opened to 400,000 under the gun, and was called by Jack Sinclair in the next seat and Tim van Kemenade in the big blind.
On the A♠8♠8♣ flop, Drbal continued with a bet of 400,000 and Sinclair called. Van Kemenade then produced a check-raise to 1,400,000, before Drbal three-bet jammed for 5,350,000.
Sinclair took some time to think before getting his stack of around 4,000,000 into the middle, and, unbelievably, Van Kemenade moved his stack forward, creating a three-way all-in.
Vaclav Drbal: A♣Q♥
Jack Sinclair: 8♦8♥
Tim van Kemenade: A♥K♥
Sinclair was in dreamland with flopped quads leaving both of his opponents drawing dead. The K♣Q♣ runout completed the board, sending a small side pot to Van Kemenade, and a massive triple up to Sinclair.
Ricardo Caridade opened to 400,000 from under the gun, then called after Jakub Sterba in the hijack moved all in for 1,350,000.
Jakub Sterba: 8♠8♥
Ricardo Caridade: Q♦10♣
Caridade flopped a gutshot on J♠9♥4♦, and he was lucky enough to hit the K♠ turn to complete his straight and eliminate Sterba after the 5♣ river.
Christoph Dufhaus was all-in for around 1,600,000 and at risk versus Andris Rasins.
Christoph Dufhaus: A♦K♦
Andris Rasins: 10♣10♦
Dufhaus was behind in a flip, but went ahead after the K♣Q♥J♣ flop. However, the A♣ hit on the turn to give Rasins the straight, and Dufhaus could not fill up on the Q♦ river.
Martijn Kiers opened to 425,000 from the hijack and Theodoros Ampelikiotis shoved for 3,400,000 total on the button. It folded back around to Kiers, who snap-called to put Ampelikiotis at risk.
Theodoros Ampelikiotis: A♠4♠
Martijn Kiers: A♦A♥
Ampelikiotis found himself against the worst-possible hand, but the 4♣4♥2♦ flop bailed him out after improving him to trip fours.
The Q♠ turn and 2♥ river kept Ampelikiotis best and he was awarded the unlikely double up.
