Stanislav Ivanov opened to 300 from the cutoff, and Mahmoud Bedoui called from the small blind. Petr Hruska also defended the big blind, taking the players three-ways to the 6♥9♠3♥ flop.
Bedoui bet 400 from the small blind, and Hruska folded. Ivanov called to see the 4♠ turn.
Bedoui moved 1,200 into the middle and Hruska folded, passing the pot to Bedoui.
Lars Kamphues had opened under the gun when Viliyan Petleshkov three-bet to 1,000 in the hijack. It folded back to Kamphues, who four-bet to 3,000. Petleshkov called, and the 3♥J♣4♦ flop was spread.
Kamphues continued his aggression with bets of 2,000 on the flop and 6,800 on the 4♠ turn that Petleshkov called. The 8♥ river saw the German regular complete his triple barrel by moving all in.
Petleshkov's 16,500 remaining chips were covered by Kamphues, and he decided to preserve them by mucking his cards and giving up on the pot.
The pot had climbed to around 12,000 with the board showing 3♣7♠8♠5♥. Lev Margolin checked from under the gun and Gerard Rubiralta on the button fired 7,500. Margolin took a moment to think it through before making the call to see the river.
The dealer revealed the 9♠ and Margolin paused again before sliding out 16,000, leaving himself with only about 4,000 behind and putting Rubiralta to a tough decision. Rubiralta mulled it over but eventually released his hand.
"Show me one card", Rubiralta said, but Margolin responded with a firm shake of the head. "No?" Rubiralta asked. "Next" (time), Margolin replied while stacking his chips.
Or Nezer open-jammed from the cutoff for his remaining 4,100 and Bo Alm called on the button.
Or Nezer: K♣K♥
Bo Alm: A♣J♠
Nezer was ahead and things stayed that way as he picked up the set on the K♦2♠8♥ flop.
The 4♣ turn and 10♣ river saw no change and Nezer secured the double and kept his seat in the tournament.
Timur Margolin opened to 300 from under the gun, Uri Gilboa called from middle position, and Oleksandr Novoselskyi three-bet to 1,400 from the button. Only Margolin called.
The flop came 9♠9♦5♠ and Margolin check-called a 1,000 bet from Novoselskyi.
Novoselskyi fired another barrel for 3,600 on the 4♦ turn, and this time Margolin opted to fold.
With two players seeing a board of 4♣3♥10♠2♦J♠ and around 9,000 in the middle, Oliver Heidel bet 3,600 from middle position, and Shmuel Goldenberg called from the cutoff.
Goldenberg had a set with 3♣3♠, but it was no good as Heidel turned over A♦5♦ for a wheel straight to take down the sizable pot.
