Comsin Nica raised to 80,000 from middle position and Georgios Tsouloftas three-bet to 250,000 on the button.
Nica then jammed all in for 1,180,000 chips. Tsouloftas asked for a count but decided it were too many chips to risk and mucked his cards.

Picking up the action on a turn of 8♥8♦A♦8♠, Paul Corrway checked out of the big blind to Vidmantas Beliauskas in early position. Beliauskas made a bet of 225,000, after which Corrway jammed all in.
Beliauskas quickly tossed in his stack of 725,000 chips to risk his tournament life.
Vidmantas Beliauskas: J♥J♦
Paul Corrway: A♣5♠
"If you have an ace, you win," Beliauskas claimed before the showdown. However, that turned out to be a lie as the J♣ river gave the Lithuanian a better full house.
He raked in a lucky double-up and thanked his lucky stars as he sat back down.

Konstantinos Vatseris had four-bet Cosmin Nica to 500,000, after which Nica jammed all in for 1,600,000, an average stack. Vatseris went deep into the tank but eventually made the call to put Nica at risk.
Cosmin Nica: A♠A♣
Konstantinos Vatseris: J♦J♣
Nica had Vatseris dominated in the huge pot, but the 6♦J♠2♥ flop brought Vatseris a set to reverse the enormous lead. Neither the 10♦ turn nor K♥ river brought an ace, resulting in Nica's unfortunate elimination.
Vatseris, meanwhile, raked in the huge pot and ascended back to the chip lead, playing nearly 150 big blinds.

In the final hand of the previous level, Deborah "The Destroyer" Worley-Roberts was heads up against Sean Creighton. On a flop of 4♥5♥10♠, Creighton checked out of the small blind to Worley-Roberts in middle position.
Worley-Roberts made a bet of 140,000 and Creighton made a quick call. On the subsequent 9♦ turn, Worley-Roberts sized up to 200,000, but this time faced an all-in check-raise from Creighton for 425,000.
Worley-Roberts spent several minutes in the tank, questioning her opponent. Eventually, she made the call to put Creighton at risk.
Sean Creighton: 4♣3♥
Deborah Worley-Roberts: K♣10♥
Worley-Roberts' top pair was in the lead, and the 10♣ river upgraded her to trip tens to secure the pot. She celebrated loudly and thanked her "blessed bosoms" for winning the pot.

Nicklas Dehli checked out of the small blind on a board of Q♠8♣8♥2♥. With 800,000 already in the pot, Georgios Tsouloftas made a bet of 175,000 from the button, receiving a call from Dehli.
The J♦ river completed the board and Dehli led out for a tiny 50,000 chips. Tsouloftas quickly jammed all in, covering the 675,000 chips of Dehli. Dehli snap called and both players showed their cards.
Dehli had J♥J♣ for a rivered full house, while Tsouloftas reluctantly tabled 9♠5♠ for a failed bluff. Dehli doubled up while former chip leader Tsouloftas forfeited a large portion of his stack.

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 100,000 from under the gun and Quentin Girardet accidentally made a min-raise to 150,000 while meaning to call. Brian Moore then called from the small blind and Tsouloftas tossed in the extra chips as well.
Moore checked on the 8♠4♥Q♠ flop and Tsouloftas led out for 175,000. Girardet min-raised once more, this time on purpose and to 350,000. Moore got out of the way but Tsouloftas stuck around with a call.
Girardet sized up to 400,000 on the 10♦ turn, after which Tsouloftas check-raised all in with the covering stack. Girardet spent several minutes in the tank before folding with 1,000,000 chips behind.
After the hand, Girardet told Tsouloftas he folded ace-queen, which got a smile and a chuckle from his opponent.
