The players are going on another 20-minute break.
The action was picked up as small blind Pierre De Almeida called an all-in from Tineke van de Steeg in the big blind for 18,200.
Tineke van de Steeg: J♥J♣
Pierre De Almeida: A♣Q♦
The deck favoured the pocket pair on this occasion, as Van de Steeg's pocket jacks held on across the 7♥5♥3♦K♠5♣ runout.
Tomasz Doktor raised from middle position and Feliciano Rosano three-bet the button to 2,800. Doktor called when the action got back to him.
Doktor knuckled it over to Rosano on the 3♦7♠9♠ flop, and Rosano bet 2,500. Doktor check-raised to 7,000, but that didn't deter Rosano as he called.
The 9♣ landed on the turn and Doktor checked. Rosano shoved, putting Doktor all in for his stack of about 17,200. Doktor took a few moments before making the call.
Tomasz Doktor: 10♠10♣
Feliciano Rosano: J♣J♦
Both players had overpairs, but Doktor was pipped by one and needed to find one of the two remaining tens on the river.
The 6♠ wasn't one of them, sending Doktor to the exit while Rosano climbed to roughly two starting stacks.
Antoine Vranken raised to 800 from under the gun and Julian Pineda Lozano three-bet the hijack to 2,400. Vranken called.
Vranken checked the 4♣A♣10♦ flop and Lozano bet 1,500. Vranken check-raised to 4,500, which Lozano called.
Vranken elected to check the A♠ turn, allowing Lozano to bet 1,500. This time, Vranken just called.
Vranken check-called one last time when the 5♦ completed the board, after Lozano bet 2,700.
Lozano instantly tapped the table and revealed a bluff with Q♣9♣, losing to Vranken's A♥Q♠ for trip aces.
Sean Jazayeri raised to 1,000 in the cutoff, which Jarkko Suokas and Modar Alsoud both called from the blinds.
Jazayeri continued for 1,500 on a 4♣6♠J♠ flop, which Suokas check-folded to, but Alsoud check-called.
When the 10♦ turn was checked through, Alsoud led out for 3,000 on the 9♣ river, which Jazayeri called. Alsoud tabled J♣8♦, and Jazayeri mucked his cards.
Sebastian Henao raised to 800 from under the gun, which Kevin MacPhee called on the button, tempting Luka Sorainen in from the big blind.
Both Sorainen and Henao checked to MacPhee on a 4♥2♦6♦ flop, and he bet 1,400. Sorainen folded, but Henao stuck around.
Henao check-called again on the 2♣ turn, this time after MacPhee bet 2,200, but when the 3♣ completed the board, Henao led out for 1,000. MacPhee responded by moving all-in, and Henao folded.
With Antonino Venneri all in on a board of 9♦10♦5♣6♦, Gaetan Balleur bet 5,000 from under the gun and was called by Marcello Miniucchi on the button.
The 6♣ paired the board on the river, causing Balleur to check. Miniucchi bet 5,000, and Balleur made the call.
Venneri showed top pair with J♣10♥ and was out, as Miniucchi revealed A♦5♦ for an ace-high flush. Miniucchi scooped both the main and side pots, while Balleur was forced to show K♦2♦ for an inferior flush.
After some raising back and forth between Tigran Harutyunyan under the gun and Sebastian Schulze on the button, Schulze's stack of 23,200 found its way into the middle, with Harutyunyan trying to send him to the rail.
Sebastian Schulze: K♣K♠
Tigran Harutyunyan: Q♥Q♣
Upon seeing that he was in rough shape, Harutyunyan politely asked the dealer, "I need some help, please."
The dealer wasn't feeling particularly generous, as no queen appeared on the 2♦8♠3♣5♣10♠ runout, sending the majority of Harutyunyan's stack over to Schulze.
