Cornelis van Gent opened from the cutoff and was three-bet by Matthias Auer in the small blind. Van Gent then shoved for approximately 100,000 total and Auer snap-called to put Van Gent at risk.
Cornelis van Gent: K♣K♥
Matthias Auer: A♠A♣
It was a Hold'em nightmare for Van Gent, whose tournament life came to an end after the 7♥5♥5♦9♥J♣ runout failed to improve his kings against Auer's aces.
Matthias Auer opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 7,000, drawing calls from Espen Jorstad on the button and Peter Jaksland in the big blind.
The flop came 8♦7♣2♦, and the action checked through to Jorstad, who seized the opportunity with a bet of 8,000. Auer was the only one to continue, making the call.
The A♥ turn brought no additional aggression, as both players opted to check.
When the 5♠ hit the river, Auer took the lead with a bet of 10,000. Jorstad took his time to deliberate but eventually tossed in the chips to call. Auer revealed A♠A♦ for a dominating top set, leaving Jorstad visibly frustrated as he mucked his cards and the pot slid Auer's way.
Michael Sklenicka opened from middle position to 6,000 with Tayfun Rodoplu calling on the button and Gab Yong Kim defending out of the big blind.
The 7♣6♥8♣ flop was checked through for the A♥ to come on the turn. Kim checked, Sklenicka bet 11,000, and Rodoplu raised to 22,000. Kim then shoved for 49,000 and got two folds from his opponents.

Kalebashvili proceeded to call bets from Odeen on every street. First for 6,500 on the 4♥K♣7♠ flop, then for 24,000 on the 9♦ turn, and finally for 60,000 on the 10♠ river.
Odeen turned over A♦K♦ for top pair, top kicker and Kalebashvili sent his hand into the muck to award Odeen the sizable pot.
Ranno Sootla limped in the small blind and Hady El Asmar quickly checked his big blind.
Sootla bet 3,000 on the A♦8♠6♦ flop and El Asmar, again quickly, raised to 8,000. Sootla called.
The pair checked down the 4♥8♥ runout and Sootla tabled 9♠5♥. El Asmar showed A♣5♦ and won the pot.
Julian Salvesen opened under the gun to 6,000 with Grzegorz Glowny calling from the big blind.
Glowny check-called a bet of 5,500 from Salvesen on the 2♥Q♥K♠ flop.
The turn came the 6♠ and after Salvesen checked, Glowny fired a second barrel of 22,000. Salvesen tank-folded and Glowny won the pot.
Spencer Carmichael-Brown opened and was three-bet by Oshri Lahmani to 17,000. Carmichael-Brown four-bet all in for 40,000 and Lahmani called.
Spencer Carmichael-Brown: A♠5♠
Oshri Lahmani: A♣Q♥
Carmichael-Brown flopped a gutshot on the 10♦4♠2♣ flop but there was no help on the 9♥8♦ runout and he was eliminated. The tournament clock shows 225 players with 215 places paid.
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka opened and was called by Gianfranco Iaculli. Tsiareshchanka bet on the K♥7♦5♣ flop and was raised by Iaculli. Tsiareshchanka called.
The turn was the A♥. Tsiareshchanka bet and Iaculli raised again. This time Tsiareshchanka three-bet and called an all-in from his opponent for Tsiareshchanka's last 119,000.
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka: A♠A♦
Gianfranco Iaculli: 5x5x
It was set over set with Tsiareshchanka's pocket aces, and the J♣ river meant he doubled to over 300,000.
Henri Antikainen limped in from the small blind and Igor Yaroshevskyy checked his option out of the big blind.
The K♦K♥9♣ flop saw Antikainen check-call a bet of 4,000 from Yaroshevskyy.
Antikainen checked again on the 4♠ turn and Yaroshevskyy fired a second barrel of 10,500. Antikainen folded, and the pot was pushed to Yaroshevskyy.
