Cesar Garcia moved all in for 52,000 from under the gun and Mariusz Golinski called in the small blind.

Cesar Garcia: A♥8♦ All in
Mariusz Golinski: Q♠Q♣

Garcia found an ace on the A♦8♣4♥ flop to make two pair and take the lead, but Golinski spiked the Q♥ on the turn for a set. The river was the 4♠ and the Day 1 chip leader was sent to the rail. Another tablemate admitted he folded a queen after the hand.

At another table, Manig Loeser got his short stack all in on a flop of K♣4♣3♥ with K♥Q♦, but Rafael Navas had A♦K♥ for top pair, ace-kicker and held up through the 5♣ turn and 10♣ river to send the 2019 champion to the rail.

Favre-Felix showed Q♠3♠, while Loeser had A♠Q♥ for a flush to win the pot.

The previous hand at this table, Juan Pardo had moved all in from the small blind on a board of 10♠8♦K♠4♠6♣ and Nicolas Betbese called for his last 30,000 in middle position.

Betbese showed K♥J♥ for top pair, but Pardo had 8♣8♥ for a set to win the pot and send Betbese to the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jamil Wakil opened the pot with a raise to 12,000 from under the gun. Heinz Schlueter called in the hijack and Manel Montalban called on the button.

On the 3♣6♣10♥ flop, action checked to Montalban, who made a bet of 25,000. Wakil called before Schlueter check-raised to 77,000. Montalban called and Wakil folded.

By the time the 9♥ turn was dealt, the pot was already worth around 200,000, giving Schlueter a pot-sized shove. Schlueter pulled the trigger, pushing 192,000 into the middle and leaving Montalban with a game-changing decision to make.

Montalban called and Schlueter showed K♣Q♣ for a flush draw with overcards. At this point, Schlueter probably thought he had a lot of outs, until Montalban flipped over A♣10♣ for a higher flush draw and pair of tens.

Schlueter needed a king or queen to pull ahead, but couldn't find what he was looking for as the river came the 10♦ to further improve Montalban's hand to trip tens.

Montalban scooped in a huge pot of around 400,000 and Schlueter was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Conor Beresford was in the small blind with a raise of 45,000 in front of him before Leon Zeaiter reraised to 150,000 in the big blind. Beresford had around the same amount remaining and shoved all in as Zeaiter quickly called.

Conor Beresford: 10♠10♥ All in
Leon Zeaiter: Q♦Q♣

Beresford had run his tens into Zeaiter's queens as Zeaiter stood up from his seat and began filming the action. The J♠5♣2♠A♦8♥ offered no help to Beresford and he was sent to the rail.

Heads-up on a board of 9♥10♦A♠3♦, Bruno Caschera bet 33,000 from the button and Kestutis Jungevicius called in early position.

He ended up burning through multiple time banks before calling for his last 250,000. Jungevicius then turned over 10♠10♥ for a full house and Caschera tossed 9♦9♠ into the muck as he snapped a photo of the board before making his exit.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andreas Goeller open-raised to 12,000 from middle position, Vidar Oie three-bet to 35,000 from the button and Goeller called.

The flop came 2♣K♠Q♣ and Goeller checked. Oie made a continuation bet of 22,000 and Goeller called. Both players then checked on the 6♥ turn.

The river was the 4♠ and Goeller checked again. Oie pushed all in for 90,000, around a pot sized bet. "Wow," said Goeller, who didn't take too long to contemplate his decision before making the call.

Oie showed K♣K♥ for a set of kings and Goeller mucked to give him the pot. Oie doubled up and Goeller, who started the day as chip leader, took a bit of a hit.

Vitalijs Korhs bet 22,000 from the hijack on a board of K♥J♠K♦6♠ and Diego De Martino raised to 97,000 in the big blind. Korhs used several time banks before calling to see the 9♦ river.

De Martino then moved all in for 180,000 and Korhs used the rest of his time banks as he again went deep into the tank.

"Good bluff," he eventually said, flashing the K♣ as he mucked.

At the same time at another table, Noah Boeken had shoved for 68,000 from middle position and Ravi Sheth put him at risk on the button.

Noah Boeken: 4♣4♥ All in
Ravi Sheth: 10♥10♣

Boeken was crushed by Sheth's tens and found no miracles on the 8♦J♦6♣J♣2♣ board as he was sent to the rail.

Mikael Guenni: J♥9♥ All in
Boris Angelov: K♥K♦

Angelov showed a pair of kings, but he was far behind Guenni's flopped straight. The 2♠ turn left Angelov drawing dead, and he paid off the double up once the J♠ completed the board on the river.
