The pot was already around 8,500 when the board landed J♥Q♣J♣J♠J♦. Gianluca Bernardini, first to act, fired a small bet of 1,000. Dylan Bradley took his time before making the call.
Bernardini then revealed A♦Q♥ for quads with an ace kicker, and Bradley’s cards quickly went into the muck. Bernardini scooped the pot.
After an earlier open-raise, Joachim Haraldstad flat-called in the small blind. Roman Stoica then squeezed in a three-bet from the big blind, to which the initial raiser folded.
Haraldstad had other plans, however, and jammed in his stack of 22,000, which Stoica snapped off.
Joachim Haraldstad: 4♠4♣ 
Roman Stoica: A♠A♦
Haraldstad fours were stone dead after the A♣2♣A♥ flop presented quad aces for Stoica. The K♠4♥ runout was rendered meaningless as Haraldstad headed to the rail.
Mikolaj Zawadzki moved all in from early position for 4,600, and only Romain Nardin made the call from the big blind.
Mikolaj Zawadzki: A♥K♦
Romain Nardin: Q♥10♦
By the time the full board had been dealt, Zawadzki had trips and a full double up, as it came J♣3♦5♦A♦A♠.
Eric Afriat, who has been among the chipleaders in the room since the start of Day 1b, opened under the gun, and Onur Gur defended his big blind. Afriat continued with a bet of 1,500 on the 6♥K♥6♦ flop, which Gur check-called.
Afriat sized up slightly to 1,800 on the 10♣, receiving another check-call from his opponent. Finally, the J♣ river was checked by both.
"Ace-high," Gur declared as he tabled A♣3♥. Afriat showed down 10♠9♠ for a pair of tens, and scooped up yet another pot. Shortly after the hand, Gur was eliminated from the Main Event.
Heads-up on a flop of 8♥Q♥9♠, Hossein Ensan on the button bet 2,800, Jorge Rios in the big blind raised to 10,000, Ensan jammed for 20,000 and Rios called with a slightly smaller stack.
Jorge Rios: A♥6♥
Hossein Ensan: K♠Q♣
Rios was looking for hearts but the 7♣6♣ runout didn't give him any and he was eliminated.
Picking up the action on a completed board of 8♣5♠2♠3♠10♣, Ren Lin checked from the small blind to Antonio Vecino in the big blind. The pot totaled 19,000 when Vecino put Lin all in for 25,400.
Lin took a few moments while singing to himself before he slammed in his remaining tower of chips for a call.
Vecino showed Q♠8♠ for a flush, leaving Lin to give himself a trademark slap on the wrist as he showed 7♣5♦ for third pair.
Romain Lewis opened from early position to 1,200, which received calls from Iulian Blebea on the button, and the player in the big blind.
Action then checked to Blebea on the 10♥5♣K♥ flop, who placed a bet of 1,200. The big blind folded, but Lewis called.
Both players then checked the J♠ turn.
The river was a board-pairing, flush-completing J♥, and saw Lewis re-take the betting lead, putting 8,000 into the middle.
Blebea quickly folded, and the pot was pushed to Lewis.
Thomas Eychenne raised to 1,300 from middle position and faced Alexandros Michas who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7♠J♣K♥ and Eychenne bet 1,000. Michas check-called.
Eychenne fired a second barrel of 8,500 on the 7♣ turn, and it was enough to make Michas fold.
Ehsan Amiri opened from under the gun with a raise to 1,200, and Jacob Amsellem in the cutoff made the call. Leonard Herrmann, sitting in the big blind, three-bet to 5,400, and both players called.
The K♥2♥A♥ flop saw Herrmann lead out for 3,000. Amiri called, but Amsellem had other ideas and raised to 16,000. Herrmann checked Amsellem’s remaining stack before calling, while Amiri folded.
The 8♠ turn brought more action as Amsellem shoved all in after Herrmann checked. Herrmann quickly called, showing A♠A♦ for a set, while Amsellem revealed J♥8♥ for a flopped flush.
Herrmann needed another ace or an eight on the river to scoop the pot, but the 6♥ river sealed it giving Amsellem a big double-up.
Houssem Meftahi opened from the cutoff-, Ivan Zhechev in the big blind raised all-in for 9,400 and Meftahi called.
Ivan Zhechev: K♣6♣
Houssem Meftahi: Q♦Q♥
The board of 2♥3♠2♦J♥5♣ was no help for Zhechev who was eliminated.
