Tim Van Loo limped the small blind and Grzegorz Derkowski raised the pot to 60,000 thereafter, which Van Loo called.
The K♠10♠9♠ flop was checked by both and Van Loo's bet of 40,000 on the 8♦ turn took it down uncontested.

Roman Cieslik three-bet to 125,000 in the big blind and was called by Ali Balci in the hijack. Marco Di Persio then reraised to 420,000 in the small blind, Cieslik threw in his last 10,000, and Balci got out of the way.
Roman Cieslik: A♦A♣10♥6♣
Marco Di Persio: K♣K♥9♠4♥
The board ran out 2♦2♠7♦3♣4♠ and Cieslik's aces stayed in front to earn him a double up as he began dancing to the speakers here at King's Resort, which were playing Elton John's "I'm Still Standing."
"Perfect music," Jakob Madsen pointed out.

Vasyl Pidhrushnyi three-bet to 155,000 in the big blind, then called for his last 55,000 when Mats Nylander moved all in.
Vasyl Pidhrushnyi: A♥K♣J♥5♠
Mats Nylander: A♣K♥10♣4♦
The 7♠8♣Q♥7♣ board didn't help either player, but the 10♦ river gave Nylander two pair and sent Pidhrushyni crashing out of the tournament.

Oswin Ziegelbecker raised it up and then looked up the short-stacked all-in of Tomas Novotny for 160,000 in the big blind.
Tomas Novotny: A♠A♣J♣6♥
Oswin Ziegelbecker: K♠J♦10♦6♠
The aces found a clean runout on the Q♣Q♥3♠3♣8♥ and Novotny doubled once again.
Ziegelbecker then made up for the losses when he engaged in another preflop encounter against Sebastian Piatek.
Sebastian Piatek: K♠K♥9♥8♦
Oswin Ziegelbecker: A♣A♥Q♥8♣
The superior pocket pair remained ahead all the way on the J♠7♣2♦7♦Q♣ board to knock out Piatek in 30th place.

Mats Nylander three-bet to 250,000 in the small blind and Adolf Buettner called in the cutoff.
The flop came 3♣J♠10♠ and Nylander bet 440,000. Buettner tossed in a chip to call and went to turn over his cards thinking Nylander was all in before being informed Nylander still had chips behind.
The 10♦ fell on the turn and Nylander pushed his last 200,000 forward. Buettner once again snap-called and turned over Q♦Q♣J♥10♣ for a full house, tens full of jacks.
Nylander had A♥A♠8♥4♥ and was already standing up from his seat before the dealer turned over the 3♦ river, sealing his elimination.

Three ways with 100,000 each invested to the Q♣8♣3♣ flop, Marco Di Persio checked out of the small blind and so did Dorel Eldabach from under the gun as well as Ali Balci two seats further.
Di Persio bet the 4♠ turn for 105,000 and 10♦ river for 160,000, both of which was only called by Eldabach.
Di Persio rolled over his K♣K♥Q♦2♦ for two pair and Eldabach won the pot with the J♠J♣10♣3♦.

Sebastian Juhlen raised to 50,000 in the hijack and Adolf Buettner called in the small blind.
The flop came 6♠A♠4♥ and Juhlen continued for 55,000. Buettner snap-called and both players checked the 3♦ turn.
Buettner then led out for 150,000 on the 4♣ river and Juhlen mucked.
The previous hand, Juhlen and Buettner were heads-up on a board of 2♠5♦A♥A♣K♥ when Buettner bet 150,000 from the big blind.
Juhlen called and Buettner showed A♠Q♦5♥3♥ for a full house.
"This man is dangerous," tablemate Sebastian Langrock said.

Jean Michel Kleemann raised to 50,000 and Dominik Paus then potted to 180,000. What followed was the shove by the initial raiser and Paus called all-in.
Dominik Paus: A♦A♥J♥2♣
Jean Michel Kleemann: A♠A♣10♣7♠
Paus fell behind on the K♣10♠7♥ flop and needed a queen to survive.
It was all over on the 7♣ turn as Kleemann hit an unbeatable full house, which further improved to quads with the 7♦ river.

Christoph Helmers moved all in for 150,000 from the small blind on a flop of 10♥4♣Q♠ and was up against Ryan Oliver on the button.
Christoph Helmers: Q♥J♥9♦8♠
Ryan Oliver: A♦7♠4♥4♦
"It's a race," Oliver said as he had a set of fours against Helmers' straight draw. The A♠ on the turn didn't improve Helmers.
"Blank," Oliver pleaded, and he saw the 6♦ fall on the river to send Helmers to the rail.
"Good game. It was nice playing with you. It's been a fun table all day," Oliver told Helmers.
