With roughly 4,000 already in the pot, and a 5♦K♣5♣10♦ board dealt to a turn, Roberto Romanello had Manuel Braunhofer all in and at risk for his remaining 3,300 stack.
Manuel Braunhofer: Q♣10♣ 
Roberto Romanello: Q♦9♦
The river 10♠ only served to improve Braunhofer to a full house, providing him a full double up.
Manel Montalban manoeuvred his roughly 18,000 stack into the middle preflop versus Alexey Logachev, in a hijack versus small blind confrontation.
Manel Montalban: K♠K♦
Alexey Logachev: J♠J♣
The 6♣8♦J♥ flop was bad news for Montalban, as Logachev leapfrogged into the lead with a set.
There was no turnaround in fortunes, as the 5♠ turn and 9♦ river completed the board, and Montalban was eliminated.
In the first hand back from the break, Nicola Grieco was facing a raise to 600 from the player under the gun. Grieco responded with a three-bet all-in for 11,500, and everybody folded.
The very next hand, David Benichou opened to 1,600, which only Grieco called.
Benichou opted to check on the 6♥A♠A♦ flop, but sprang his trap when he check-raised all in over Grieco's bet of 2,000. Grieco folded.
The dealer shuffled the cards and dealt another hand. Once again, Grieco got involved.
With a limp ahead of him, Grieco raised to 2,300 before calling a three-bet to 5,100 from Javier Rodriguez. The rest of the table, including the limper, folded.
The monotone 7♠9♠10♠ flop saw Grieco surrender another pot, as he folded to a continuation bet.

PokerStars is turning 25, and they aren't blowing out the candles quietly. The online poker giant has announced a month-long Anniversary Series running from May 10 to June 3, 2026, boasting a staggering $50 million in total guarantees.
The festival serves as a dual celebration, also marking the 15th anniversary of the Sunday Storm, one of the most iconic low-stakes tournaments in poker history.
The remaining players are taking their first 15-minute break of the day.
When the action folded to Manuel Braunhofer in the small blind, he raised to 800. Alexey Logachev wasted little time in three-betting to 2,600 from the big blind, which Braunhofer called.
Braunhofer checked on the 2♥3♦4♦, and with zero hesitation, Logachev immediately announced a bet of 3,000. Again, Braunhofer called.
The dealer added the 7♥ turn to the board, and when Braunhofer checked for a second time, Logachev continued the quick action and announced a bet of 10,000, enough to put Braunhofer all in.
Braunhofer folded, and Logachev flipped over A♠4♠.
The action was joined with roughly 7,500 already in the middle, and three players heading to a flop.
Seeing the 2♠6♣3♦, Jesus Hervas checked from under the gun, and Maria Konnikova followed suit one seat to his left. Julijan Ivanc responded with a bet of 2,200 on the button, which only Hervas called.
Both players checked on the J♦ turn, and the 6♥ river completed the board.
Hervas took his time in deciding how best to proceed, ultimately placing a bet of 7,500. Ivanc took a similar amount of time to make his own decision, before deciding to return his cards to the dealer.
