Shenghe Yang called a pot-sized raise by Vadim Zakharyan in the under-the-gun position and Eran Carmi also stuck around in the big blind. Zakharyan had already moved his short stack behind towards the middle and confirmed his all-in once Carmi checked the 9♣8♠3♦ flop.
Yang went all-in over the top and Carmi folded.
Vadim Zakharyan: K♥J♠J♣9♠
Shenghe Yang: Q♥Q♠10♥6♦
The A♦ turn was a blank but Zakharyan got there with the 9♦ river to double for 34,500.

Nadjim Haddad was nowhere to be found anymore while Dorel Eldabach was all smiles and reminded the live reporting team of his promise to bag up one million in chips. Eldabach also raise-called a three-bet by Marco Di Persio right after, as did Mustafa Biz for 25,000 apiece.
The A♠9♣7♥ flop was checked by Eldabach, Di Persio bet 41,000 and earned two calls. After the 6♥ turn, Eldabach bet 75,000 and forced two folds.

Omar Eljach raise-called a pot-sized three-bet by Sebastian Piatek, who then jammed the Q♠8♥3♣ flop. The 2022 WSOP Europe Main Event champion folded with a grin on the face.
Tiyanes Yildirim has turned a late night re-entry into profit when his check-raise on the K♥Q♠9♦Q♥ turn got through against fellow countryman Mustafa Biz while Dorel Eldabach lost a portion of his big stack on the same table.

Adolf Buettner raised to 10,000 and subsequently four-bet the pot to 180,000 after Ali Balci had three-bet the pot. Balci stuck around for nearly half of his stack exclaiming "bluffing is doable" and Buettner checked to him on the J♥5♠2♠ flop.
Balci grappled in his chips and Buettner sigh-folded. "How can you hit so good?" Balci mentioned more to himself, claiming to have had a set of jacks and flush draw while only flashing one jack.

Jan Maule was one of the last players to enter and got a short stack of just 21,000 in preflop with Philipp Zukernik jamming over the top.
Jan Maule: J♠6♠5♦4♦
Philipp Zukernik: A♣A♠Q♦10♥
The 7♥4♠3♠6♦3♥ runout gave Maule a seven-high straight right away and he survived, albeit with just half a starting stack to show for.
