Denis Charlier raised to 10,000 from early position, with Jeremie Zouari calling from the small blind and Sebastien Compte defending his big blind.
After it checked to Charlier on the 5♥J♣4♠ flop he shoved for 57,000. Zourai burned through a time extension before releasing his hand, but Compte folded instantly. Charlier showed the J♦ for top pair as he pulled in the pot.
The action was on the turn this time, on a board of 2♠A♠4♣Q♦, and Julien Sitbon fired out a bet of 18,000. Kimmo Kurko moved all in for 95,000, which again left Sitbon scratching his head.
Sitbon had no time bank cards, having used them all when his opponent shoved the river in a previous hand, so after 30 seconds, his hand was folded and Kurko took the pot.
The remaining 145 players have been sent on a short 20-minute break.
Here are some highlights from the past level:
Level: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Philip Joyce opened from early position to 12,000 and Eduard Rau three-bet the small blind to 33,000. When it got back to Joyce, he asked his opponent how much he started the hand with.
"I started with 141,000," said Rau.
Joyce then made the minimum four-bet to 54,000, which gave Rau a decision. After thinking it over, Rau elected to fold, and Joyce scooped in the chips.
Following an open-raise to 12,000 from middle position, Thomas Clack three-bet to 55,000, leaving around 40,000 behind. Pedro Marques then pushed in a stack of blues worth around 110,000. The original raiser folded and Clack used two time bank cards before making the call. Clack was at risk as players turned their cards.
Thomas Clack: A♠Q♦ 
Pedro Marques: K♥K♣
The board ran out 10♦7♣4♦3♣5♠ and Marques held with his pocket kings to win the pot, sending Clack to the rail shortly after the first break of the day.
Lyudmil Ivanov opened the hijack to 12,000 with Adrian Mack calling on the button, and Fabian Bartuschk defending out of the big blind.
Ivanov continued with a bet of 11,000 on the 2♦3♦5♦ flop, which only Mack called.
The two players checked the 10♣ turn to see the 4♦ hit the river. Ivanov checked and Mack fired a small bet of roughly 13,000. Ivanov instantly folded and Mack pulled in the pot.
Gianfranco Iaculli opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from under the gun, and Gianas Rege put out a three-bet to 35,000, leaving a blue 5,000-chip behind. When the action folded back to Iaculli, he moved a pile of blue chips in the middle to put his opponent all-in.
With just two players away from a pay jump, Rege was ready to use all four of his remaining timebank cards. When he used his third timebank card, a player was eliminated at another table, but there was no other elimination, and Rege called at the last second.
Gianas Rege: A♣K♦
Gianfranco Iaculli: 4♥4♦
Rege did not manage to get the pay jump or win the flip, as the full board ran out 5♦9♦6♣8♠2♣, and he exited the tournament.
