Ben Jackson in the cutoff opened to 16,000 and was called by John Woods on the button. Slobodan Ruzicic in the big blind moved all in for 120,000, then Jackson called and made Woods fold.
Ben Jackson: Q♣Q♥ 
Slobodan Ruzicic: 7♠7♣
Jackson with queens flopped a full house on Q♦3♦3♥8♠J♣, leaving no chance for Ruzicic. It turned out that Jackson was slightly covered, so he secured a double up.
Simeon Naydenov got into it with the floor about an EPT rule regarding tanking with insignificant chips behind, and the discussion went from theoretical to pragmatic as Anton Suarez raised to 16,000 on the button and Gediminas Uselis called in the small blind before Naydenov three-bet to 69,000 in the big blind with just about 20,000 behind.
Suarez folded and Uselis raised, leading Naydenov to ask whether he could use his time banks. When the floor told him no, he called.
Simeon Naydenov: K♠Q♠
Gediminas Uselis: 3♦3♥
Naydenov won the flip as the board ran out K♥4♦2♦5♦8♥ to earn him a double, but "IamBuddhaa" was anything but mindful as he continued bickering over the years-old rule that was implemented to prevent unnecessary tanking.
Tim van de Riet raised to 16,000 from the hijack before Martin Tsvetanov three-bet to 51,000 out of the cutoff. When it got back to Van De Riet, he called to see a flop.
Van De Riet checked after the dealer fanned out a flop of A♠A♥10♥, and Tsvetanov bet 22,000. Van De Riet made the call.
Both checked after the 8♠ turn to see the 7♦ roll off on the river. Van De Riet bet 94,000, and got a tank-fold from Tsvetanov.
Heads-up on the turn with the board showing J♦8♣9♦A♦, Mario Colavita bet 58,000 in the cutoff before Timo Kamphues raised to 119,000 under the gun. Colavita then reraised to 170,000, Kamphues moved all in for 358,000, and Colavita snap-called.
Kamphues showed K♦Q♣ for straight and flush draws, while Colavita turned over A♥A♣ for top set. The 4♦ river gave Kamphues a flush and Colavita sent over most of his stack.
At the same table, Ramon Colillas has climbed up past 1,000,000.
Thales De Figuereido raised to 16,000 from early position with Thales De Figuereido calling from the cutoff, and Dominik Panka defending his big blind.
Panka checked first on the 4♥9♥2♥ flop, and De Figuereido placed out a continuation-bet of 16,000. McEwan and Panka stuck around with a call.
A J♥ came on the turn, causing Panka and De Figuereido to check. McEwan gathered together a bet of 23,000, which only Panka called.
Heads-up to the 3♣ river that saw Panka check-call a bet of 68,000 by McEwan. McEwan revealed A♠Q♥ for a queen-high flush to win the pot, as Panka mucked his cards.
Juan Carlos Vecino opened to 16,000 in the hijack and Ange Besnainou three-bet jammed for 141,000 in the small blind. Vecino called with a bigger stack.
Ange Besnainou: A♠J♠
Juan Carlos Vecino: 9♠9♦
The board ran out 7♣5♥6♦4♦8♠, putting a straight on the board but giving Vecino the nine-high straight to send Besnainou to the rail.
Alejandro Romero raised to 16,000 in early position, Mihai Niste moved all in for 119,000 in the small blind, and Romero called.
Mihai Niste: A♥Q♥
Alejandro Romero: A♣K♦
Niste found himself dominated and at risk, and the 3♠J♠4♣7♦K♥ board provided no help as Romero ended up with a pair of kings to send Niste to the rail.
At another table, Jacob Amsellem was all in for around 100,000 from middle position and up against Sam Lam in the big blind.
Jacob Amsellem: A♠A♥
Sam Lam: 4♣4♦
Amsellem had picked up aces and was a favorite to double up, but the board brought 8♠6♣5♠3♥7♥ to give Lam a straight on the river as the start-of-day chip leader was eliminated.
In a blind versus blind battle on a board of 4♥5♣6♦9♥, Julien Sitbon bet 20,000 and Mohamed Aissani raised to 52,000. Sitbon called.
Sitbon checked on the 5♦ river and Aissani moved all in for 93,000. Sitbon folded and Aissani showed it was the right move as he turned over 8♣7♣ for a straight.
