A few hands after Martin Kabrhel doubled up off Dmitrij Fadeev, the two players tangled again in a pot.
Kabrhel was in the small blind and moved all in for 72,000 on a board of 6♥10♣K♣J♠. Fadeev snap-called on the button and turned over A♣J♣8♠7♦, while Kabrhel had Q♣9♠5♠4♣ for a straight.
The river came the 9♦ and Kabrhel doubled up yet again.
Heads-up on a board of 4♣8♠6♦9♦, Lautaro Guerra bet 48,000 from the big blind and Fabian Rolli called in the hijack.
The river came the 3♣ and Guerra then stuck in a bet of 160,000. Rolli's cards instantly hit the muck.
Diamond High Roller champion Quan Zhou is also seated at this table.
Vadim Zakharyan was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and Ali Balci stacked a lot of chips.
According to Tim Van Loo, Zakharyan had clashed with Balci once more but this time had little equity with top and bottom pair against the top set of Balci.
The same table then saw Martin Kabrhel re-enter and get it in for 45,000 post 10♥9♣3♥ flop versus Dmitrij Fadeev.
Martin Kabrhel: K♠Q♠Q♣10♣
Dmitrij Fadeev: A♣Q♦J♠6♣
The 5♥ turn and 7♣ river were blanks and Kabrhel doubled.
Heads-up on a board of 10♥6♣7♠Q♥, Christoph Helmers bet 42,000 from the big blind and Sebastian Koehnert called in early position.
The river came the 4♥ and Helmers slowed down and checked. Koehner tapped the felt back and Helmers flashed J♥J♦. Koehner turned over 10♣10♦ as he took the pot with a set of tens.
Dominik Dickmann, August Schlegl, and Benjamin Alacam are also at this table with above-average stacks.
Joining the action on the 7♥5♣3♦8♠ turn, Juergen Pollack bet 55,000 out of the big blind and Tim Grau called on the button. Both checked the 10♠ on the river and Pollack tabled his A♥A♣Q♦8♦ for a pair of aces.
Grau had that beat with K♠10♦9♠3♥ for tens and treys to win the pot, leaving his opponent somewhat frustrated.
Thiago Silva De Morgado got his last 42,000 in the middle from the big blind on a flop of 6♠3♣K♠ and Leonid Yanovski had him at risk on the button.
Thiago Silva De Morgado: K♥J♦8♣6♣
Leonid Yanovski: 9♣7♦5♦4♥
The turn came the 4♣, completing Yanovski's straight and giving Silva De Morgado a flush draw.
"Oh, a sweat," Yanovski said, but the A♠ fell on the river and Yanovski sent Silva De Morgado to the rail.
"I looked at his face and he knew he lost. That means I win," Yanovski said after the hand.
Level: 13
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
The cards were on their backs on a flop of 6♥4♥2♦ flop with Bohdan Zahurskyi in the big blind and Guenter Halak on the button involved in the following showdown.
Guenter Halak: Q♦10♠6♣6♠
Bohdan Zahurskyi: J♦8♥5♠3♦
Halak had flopped the top set but needed catching up, as Zahurskyi was ahead with the flopped straight.
Neither the 9♥ turn nor the K♣ river came to the rescue, sending the Austrian to the rail.
Vadim Zakharyan raised and earned one call before Ali Balci potted out of the big blind. Only Zakharyan called and then faced a bet of 100,000 on the J♣8♥4♦ flop, which he called.
Balci jammed the Q♣ turn and Zakharyan called all-in for the 62,000 he had behind.
Vadim Zakharyan: A♣J♥9♣7♠
Ali Balci: A♥Q♥J♦9♦
Balci was ahead with the top two pair while Zakharyan had a gutshot and flush draw. The 10♣ river provided the required flush and Zakharyan doubled.
