Daryl McAleenan made it 600,000 in the cutoff. It folded to Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind, who three-bet all in for 5,600,000.
McAleenan gave it some thought, but ended up letting his hand go to forfeit the pot to O'Dwyer.
"I qualified for 100 euros, I'm just trying to make some pay jumps," O'Dwyer laughed, although he was not joking about his status as an online qualifier.

Thomas Kilgannon was all-in in the small blind for 3,975,000, and had been looked up by Narcis Nedelcu in the cutoff.
Thomas Kilgannon: K♣Q♥
Narcis Nedelcu: 6♠6♥
Kilgannon took a big lead on the 10♠Q♣2♦ flop, but Nedelcu earned the checkmark on the 6♣ turn, courtesy of his newly acquired set.
The 8♥ river was dealt as a formality, and Kilgannon gathered his belongings before he left the tournament area.

It folded to Gerard Carbo in the small blind, who announced an all-in bet to put big blind Kenneth Svendsen at risk. Svendsen snap-called for his stack of 4,050,000, and the cards were revealed.
Kenneth Svendsen: K♥K♣ 
Gerard Carbo: Q♠7♣
Svendsen flopped a set on 5♥J♣K♦ and locked up the pot on the Q♣ turn. The J♥ river upgraded him to a full house to double in style, seeing Carbo dive under eight figures for the first time in a while.

Danny Verheij made it 600,000 to go in early position. Ali Abdulzahra three-bet to 1,500,000 in the cutoff, after which Cristian Ivanus committed his stack of 5,825,000 in the big blind.
Verheij called off for his stack of 5,200,000, and, after some minutes in the tank, Abdulzahra called as well, covering both opponents
Danny Verheij: A♦K♦
Cristian Ivanus: 10♠10♥
Ali Abdulzahra: A♥K♠
Ivanus flopped top set on 2♣10♦9♦. Verheij had a flush draw to work with, but Ivanus made a full house instead on the 5♥5♠ runout. Ivanus nearly tripled up, while Verheij had to take his exit in 24th place.

Marios Papazois opened to 600,000 from early position, and found himself facing a three-bet to 1,800,000 from Oliver Gayko in the cutoff. When the action folded back to Papazois, he four-bet shoved for roughly 3,000,000. Gayko wasted no time and made the call.
Marios Papazois: A♦Q♦
Oliver Gayko: K♥K♦
The flop brought more ways to win for Papazois, coming down 8♦6♠J♦.
That wasn't his only route to survival, though, as the Q♣ turn and Q♥ river improved him to trips, seeing the pot pushed in his direction.

With 24 players remaining, the PokerNews live report will go on a 30-minute delay to prevent spoiling the live stream.
Kevin Killeen got his stack of 7,950,000 in on the button, being covered by Michael Prendergast in middle position.
Kevin Killeen: A♥K♦
Michael Prendergast: 9♥9♦
Prendergast looked on tensely as the 3♣6♠Q♥7♠10♠ board was fanned. With no aces or kings about, Prendergast's nines won the pot.
He let out a sigh of relief and sat back down, while Killeen was eliminated in 25th place, one spot before the final three tables.

When the action folded to Kevin Killeen in the small blind, he moved all in for 3,850,000. Edward Dunphy took one look at his cards and called.
Kevin Killeen: A♥2♣
Edward Dunphy: A♠10♦
"Two-ball corner pocket", Killeen's rail shouted.
When the 4♠A♣5♥ flop was dealt, "A three will do", came from the same voice.
The 8♦ turn was unforthcoming, but the 3♦ did improve Killeen to a straight, seeing him double up.
