Raul Mestre raised to 90,000 in the cutoff, and Samuel Ju defended in the big blind. The duo checked the 10♠7♦6♥ flop through to the A♥ turn, where Ju checked again.
Mestre fired a bet of 140,000 into the middle, which Ju called. Ju checked a third time on the 10♥ river, and Mestre checked behind after some thought. Ju revealed A♠3♣ for top pair, enough to rake in the chips as Mestre mucked his cards.
Leonard Maue kicked off the action with a raise to 80,000 under the gun. Miroslav Rizov then upped the ante to 240,000 on the button, after which it folded to big blind Raul Mestre.
He spent one of his time banks before four-betting to 640,000, folding out both opponents to rake in the pot risk-free.
Diego Zeiter opened to 80,000 and found himself facing a three-bet to 280,000 from tournament chip leader Bernhard Binder in the small blind. The action returned to Zeiter, who moved all in for 1,400,000, and Binder snap-called.
Diego Zeiter: Q♠10♠ 
Bernhard Binder: K♠K♦
Zeiter was unable to find any help on the 5♣7♣2♥ flop, and his elimination was confirmed when the J♣ turn was revealed.
Zeiter was already up and out of his seat before the 6♦ river made it official.
In a limped pot to the 5♥J♥8♣ flop, small blind Diego Zeiter checked his 6♥2♥ over to Bernhard Binder in the big blind, who bet 45,000 with 9♠7♣. Zeiter called, and the duo witnessed the 4♣ emerge from the deck on the turn.
Binder sized up to 210,000 after another check by Zeiter. Zeiter quickly let go of his flush draw as Binder won the pot with nine-high.
On the first hand, the action folded to Raul Mestre in the small blind, who moved all in. His stack had Leonard Maue in the big blind well covered. Maue took a look at his cards and folded.
The very next shuffle, Miroslav Rizov raised to 85,000 in the hijack, and Mestre called on the button.
The dealer spread a 7♦4♠9♦ flop, and, when Rizov checked, Mestre put 85,000 into the middle. Once again, his bet was enough to see his opponent concede the pot, as Rizov folded.
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 80,000 in the cutoff. Stefan Dimitrov was on the button and moved all in for 545,000, which Chaoui called after some thought.
Stefan Dimitrov: 7♠7♥
Mehdi Chaoui: A♠J♣
Dimitrov flopped a set on J♦6♠7♦, leaving Chaoui drawing slim. The 8♦ left Chaoui without outs, and the meaningless A♦ river rolled off as Dimitrov raked in his double-up.
Chaoui, meanwhile, was left with just over 15 big blinds in his stack.
Raul Mestre made it 90,000 to go in the cutoff. Ognyan Dimov and Samuel Ju called in the blinds, after which the trio checked the A♠J♦K♣ flop and the J♥ turn.
Dimov then bet 105,000 on the 5♣ river. Ju quickly folded, after which Mestre instantly tossed in a calling chip. Dimov tabled K♥J♣ for a full house, and Mestre's cards swiftly hit the muck.
Over at the other outer table, Jason Wheeler had defended his big blind against hijack Rodrigo Selouan's open-raise. Wheeler went on to check-call Selouan's bets of 80,000 on the J♥9♣A♣ flop and 230,000 on the 9♠ turn.
The players checked the 2♣ river to showdown, where Wheeler revealed A♦6♥ for top pair, winning him the pot.
Jason Wheeler opened to 85,000 from the hijack, and only Longmao Fan called in the big blind.
Fan check-called a bet of 55,000 on the monotone Q♥K♥2♥ flop, and check-called another bet of 120,000 on the 3♥ turn.
The K♠ completed the board, and on this occasion, Wheeler checked behind when given the opportunity.
Fan tabled A♦10♥, which was good enough to claim the pot as Wheeler mucked his hand.
