With 24,300 already in the pot, Adil Tlimisov checked the action to Stefan Peukert on a completed board of 8♠10♣10♥J♠3♥. Peukert bet 9,300, leaving less than 5,000 behind, and quickly called off when Tlimisov put him all-in.
Tlimisov turned over 10♠10♦ for four tens. Peukert's straight with Q♥9♥ was outclassed, and he spent a few moments studying the hands before he said goodbye and left the table.
Rene Von Reden opened to 1,000 from middle position, Aleksei Vandyshev three-bet to 2,000 from the hijack, and Von Reden called.
The flop came 5♣K♣5♠, and Von Reden check-called a 2,000 continuation bet from Vandyshev.
Von Reden check-called a 3,500 bet from Vandyshev on the Q♥ turn, before both players checked the 7♦ river. Von Reden showed K♥10♥ for two pair, kings and fives to win the hand.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 35th episode, Connor talks with No Filter Poker Series founder Mounir Tajiou about growing up in Sweden, working as a high court judge, playing professional soccer, making a deep run in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and the new No Filter Poker Series, which values fun at the table over poker strategy.
We also hear from 1998 Main Event champion Scotty Nguyen, reigning WSOP champ Michael Mizrachi and Finnish poker legend Juha Helppi about their involvement with the No Filter Poker tour.
Players are now on their first 15-minute break of the day, with the tournament clock now showing 267 entries.
Bas De Laat opened to 500 from the hijack, Davis Mihelsons three-bet to 1,700 from the cutoff, and De Laat called.
Both players checked the 10♣8♥7♣ flop, leading to the 7♦ turn. De Laat check-called a 2,000 bet from Mihelsons.
De Laat check-called another bet from Mihelsons on the K♥ river, this time for 4,000. Mihelsons had rivered the king with K♠J♣, but De Laat had him out-kicked with A♥K♦ to take the pot.
From the small blind, Joachim Meisolle checked the 2♥K♠10♣Q♦ turn over to Merijn van Rooij, who bet 3,200, more than the 2,600 in the pot.
Meisolle quickly called, and he snap-called Van Rooij's bet of 8,000 on the 10♦ river as well. Van Rooij showed J♣9♣ for a straight.
"Wow, so lucky. Unbelievable," Meisolle lamented as he frustratedly showed K♦4♦ for top pair.
He paid Van Rooij the required chips, after which the two discussed an earlier hand where Van Rooij had gotten the better of him as well.
Ermanno Di Nicola opened to 600 from the button, and Juha Helppi defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♥J♦2♣ and Helppi check-called a 500 bet from Di Nicola. The two players then checked down the 9♠ turn and 6♥ river.
Helppi showed K♠Q♣ for king-high and a missed gutshot. Di Nicola tabled K♣9♣ for third pair to win the pot, adding more chips to his stack, which is already more than double what he started with.
