LUPO, dressed as the Joker, raised to 12,000, and Mystery Kid three-bet to 33,000 in the hijack.
Abrechner then four-bet to 65,000 on the button, winning him the pot as LUPO and Mystery Kid both folded.
Guy Taylor raised to 12,000 under the gun, seeing Eros Calderone call in middle position. Fatih Sen then moved all in for 189,000 in middle position, and Alen Keser called on the button.
Taylor took some time before also calling, putting him all in for 125,000. Calderone only smiled before he quickly folded.
Guy Taylor: Q♠Q♦
Fatih Sen: A♦Q♣
Alen Keser: J♦J♣
Sen gained outs on the 9♦4♣3♠2♦ turn, but it was the classic "Barry" on the A♠ river that gave Sen the victory and eliminated Taylor. Meanwhile, Calderone was also eliminated not much later.
Big blind Pasquale Casella and Chengzhou Zhou on the button had created a pot of 70,000 when they went to the 3♦J♦A♦ flop. Casella checked to Zhou, who bet 37,500.
Casella called, and he check-called again when Zhou sized up to 51,500 on the 5♣ turn. Both players then checked the A♥ river. Casella tabled 8♠8♦, enough to win the pot as Zhou mucked his cards.

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Preflop, Davide Cojaniz was all in for his last 30,500, Jose Puertas had moved in his stack of 130,000, and Octavian Tarcau had them both at risk.
Davide Cojaniz: Q♥Q♣
Jose Puertas: A♥Q♠
Octavian Tarcau: K♠K♥
Tarcau's kings held on the 5♥J♥9♣8♦9♦ runout, sending both opponents to the rail.
On a 7♠10♣9♦ flop, Tegin Li fired a pot-sized bet of 75,000 on the button. Marko Ilicic then check-raised all in, and Li quickly called off her stack of 195,000.
Tegin Li: A♥A♣
Marko Ilicic: 7♥7♣
"What are you doing? Give me an ace!" Li exclaimed in horror when she saw Illicic's set.
However, no aces were found on the 6♦ turn or 2♥ river, eliminating Li from the tournament.
