Dijkstal continued for 6,500 on the 10♥5♥2♦ flop, then moved all in for 37,500 on the 6♣ turn. Nikolakis eventually check-called both times.
Quirijn Dijkstal: K♣10♠ 
Panagiotis Nikolakis: A♥6♥
Nikolakis didn't find an ace, a six, or a heart on the K♦ river, so Dijkstal doubled up with two pair.

Rolando Soria: J♣J♦

Three-way on a flop of J♦2♥7♥, Francisco Cascante on the button moved all in for 14,100. Neel Murthy in the big blind check-called, and Silviu Baltateanu in the cutoff check-folded.
Francisco Cascante: A♥10♥
Neel Murthy: J♣9♥
Murthy flopped top pair while Cascante had the nut flush draw. The 8♠2♣ runout, however, didn't complete the flush, and he was eliminated.
Samuel Ju opened to 3,000 in middle position and Demis Mariani called in the cutoff before Mauricio Salazar Sanchez three-bet to 11,500 in the small blind. Ju four-bet jammed a stack of around 25,000, and Mariani folded before Salazar Sanchez called with slightly less.
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: K♠Q♠
Samuel Ju: 10♦10♠
The board ran out J♥4♠3♠2♣8♥, and Salazar Sanchez groaned after missing his flush draw and overs as he was sent to the rail.
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez jammed for 12,200 from middle position and he was called by Samuel Ju on the button.
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: 9♠9♣
Samuel Ju: K♠Q♦

There was a three-way all in at Table 15 involving 2023 champion Simon Wiciak, Cesar Del Pino and Andreas Goeller, who had both opponents covered.
Simon Wiciak: A♥Q♥
Cesar Del Pino: A♦K♣
Andreas Goeller: K♦J♥
The flop of 3♠3♦10♥ missed everyone, but the 3♥ turn gave Wiciak some hope with a flush draw. However, the river brought the offsuit J♦ to stun Wiciak and Del Pino as Goeller scored a double knockout.
"It was a nice jack on the river," said Niklas Astedt, who revealed he also held ace-queen.
