Cards were just being swept away and Kai Lach was raking in a big pot, with Anders Andersen good enough to recount the hand.
It was a three-way all in involving Kai Lach, Halil Coknez and Arwin Abbaspour, who covered both players.
Lach held ace-king, Abbaspour held pocket kings, and Coknez had pocket sevens. The flop came ace-high to send Lach the triple up, and Abbaspour won a small side pot with his pocket kings to send Coknez to the rail.

Rens Buijs was seen leaving the tournament area and was kind enough to recount his bust out hand to PokerNews, bringing a salutary tale of putting too much emphasis on prior history with a player.
Buijs opened under the gun with nine-six suited, and was three-bet by his good friend Floris Pop, who he plays with regularly, in the next seat. The three-bet obtained a crazy five cold callers, including from Hendrick Ricken on the button.
Action folded back to Buijs, who explained he considered it was highly likely Pop was three-betting him light, and given the size of the pot, he decided to go for the four-bet jam for around 40 bigs effective, looking strong from his under the gun position.
He thought his plan would work when Pop quickly folded, as did the first cold-caller. However Ricken made the call with pocket fours. Buijs stated he was delighted to be flipping, but the Qx8x2x7xQx runout did not improve his hand, resulting in his demise.

Around 8,000 was in the middle on a board of Q♦5♣7♣A♥. Philipp Paul had led out with a bet of 5,000, only to be met with a raise to 13,000 by Erik Nies.
Paul considered the spot for a bit, before moving all in for around 23,000. Despite it not being a huge amount more, Nies folded.

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Javid Entezary all-in for around 15,000 and at risk versus Bjorn Kerski.
Javid Entezary: 9♣9♦
Bjorn Kerski: A♥Q♠
Entezary was ahead in a race, and remained so after the 7♣7♦5♣. However the A♣ rolled off on the turn to put Kerski in front, and the J♦ river did not alter matters.

Cards were on their backs and four stacks were in the middle, with PokerNews arriving just as the dealer was working out the pot after the 4♥9♣10♠8♣6♦ runout.
Anil Eslik, the player at risk, had Q♥5♥ and had completed whiffed the board.
Sven Walter had A♠K♣ for ace-king high, Noah El Ammar had A♦Q♣ for ace-queen high, but the winner of the hand was Danny Brunckhorst, who had been all-in for 8,000, with A♣10♦ for top pair tens.
Walter took a small side pot against Ammar but it wouldn't have improved his mood much at the outcome.
