Milos Petakovic in the hijack raised to 2,000. Vasileios Tsaknis to his left called, as well as the big blind.
All three of them checked the 10♦2♦Q♠ flop leading to the 9♦ turn where Petakovic bet 4,000. Tsaknis was the only one to call.
The 8♠ completed the board and Petakovic moved all in for roughly 23,000. Tsaknis snap-folded.
George Tomescu opened under the gun to 2,000, and was called by Boris Berthomet on the button and Will Kassouf in the big blind.
On the J♠7♣5♣ turn, Kassouf check-raised to 7,700 versus a bet of 2,300 from Berthomet, who quickly called. Tomescu folded.
The A♦ rolled off on the turn, and Kassouf took some time before jamming for 20,500, saying "The Ace might have saved you. I've got two pair or a set minimum, that's all I'm saying."
Berthomet gave it some thought before sending his cards to the dealer.
Jose Rebollar opened to 2,000 from early position. Bleron Maliqi raised to 5,500 from middle position. Action folded around to Rebollar who then clicked it to 9,000. Maliqi called.
Rebollar then led for 3,500 on the flop of 8♥8♣6♥ before Maliqi quickly moved all in. Rebollar folded instantly.
Olivier Paris opened from middle position and he was called by both players in the blinds.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♥4♥10♣ and Paris bet 2,800. Jan Verner in the small blind was the only one to call.
Both players checked the 9♦ turn leading to the J♣ river where Verner bet 6,800. Paris seemed to be on the edge of folding but after some acting, he raised to 15,300. Verner quickly folded.
The action was picked up on a board of 2♠5♦4♦Q♦4♥ with a bit less than 15,000 in the pot. Yuhuang Chen in the cutoff bet, but Sandra Cotescu on the button raised to 15,000.
Chen went deep into the tank, but eventually called. But his cards went into the muck after Cotescu turned over 5♥5♣ for a full house.
Jakub Sterba opened to 2,000 from early position. Burim Mahmudi called in the hijack. Pierre Motti and Peter Kvisthammar called in the small and big blind respectively.
Both blinds checked the 10♠K♥7♦ flop to Sterba who bet 3,000. Mahmudi and Motti called, Kvisthammar folded. The J♣ turn brought another check from Motti before Sterba moved all in for 12,000. Both Mahudi and Motti called.
The 6♠ river was checked down. Sterba had A♣A♥, Motti had K♠Q♠ but Mahmudi had the winner in the form of J♥10♥ for two pair. Sterba wished the table good luck before departing the tournament area.
