Action was picked up on the river of 8♦2♣4♣8♠6♦ with Niklas Grafton facing a bet of 329,000 into a pot of around 575,000 from Douglas Weymeersch.
He was in the tank for a good five minutes before Weymeersch eventually called the clock. With one second left on the clock, he flicked in the call with A♦10♠. Weymeersch had trips with K♣8♣.
A few hands later, the remaining chips of Grafton ended up in Weymeersch's stack. The players exchanged a fist bump before Grafton headed to the payout desk.
Action was picked up with Rene facing a bet of 287,000 on the turn of 6♦J♥9♠7♦.
Pepetronics was all-in and only just covered from the big blind, and Rene was in early position. He was in the tank for a good five minutes. He apologised to his table for taking some time. He let out a big sigh and reluctantly called.
Pepetronics: 10♥8♦
Rene: K♥J♠
Pepetronics had the nuts and the J♦ upgraded Rene, but it wasn't enough. He then busted a few hands later with 10♠2♠ when all-in for 5,000 against Douglas Weymeersch's Q♣Q♥. The runout was 3♥3♦7♥6♣5♣
Action was picked up with Franck Reichel moving all in from the big blind for 158,000 on the flop of 8♦9♠3♠. Daniel Bedson called from early position after a minute or so of consideration. Chabbaaa took a moment before folding.
Franck Reichel: K♣9♣
Daniel Bedson: 8♠8♣
Bedson flopped a set, and Reichel was drawing to a miracle. The 5♥ confirmed Reichel's exit, and the 5♦ improved Bedson further.
"I didn't mean to slow-roll you; I wanted him [Chabbaa] to call," said Bedson.

Jllp: A♣J♥
Imad Barka: Q♣10♦
Jllp flopped trips across the J♦6♥J♠2♥10♥ runout to secure a crucial double-up.
Adrien Lacabe moved all in for 127,000 from the button against a cutoff open from Jllp.
Jllp: A♦K♦
Adrien Lacabe: A♠10♠
Lacabe flopped a flush draw and binked it on the river of the 5♠J♥7♠2♣6♠ runout to secure a double up.
Action was picked up on the river of A♦J♥J♠6♠A♥ with around 175,000 in the middle. Alberto led for 40,000 from the small blind. Kevin Malone raised to 100,000 from the cutoff.
Alberto went into the tank for quite some time before piling in a stack of 25,000 chips to put Malone all in. "Why take so long just to raise?" said Malone before calling.
He had A♣9♣ but top boat was busted by the quads of Alberto's J♣J♦ to stack Malone in a brutal cooler.
