Patrik Jaros raised to 140,000 on the button, and Antoine Vranken defended his big blind to the 2♣8♣J♠ flop. Vranken checked, and Jaros quickly announced pot for 340,000.
Vranken moved all in, and Jaros made the call.
Antoine Vranken: A♣J♣9♦3♥
Patrik Jaros: 10♣7♦6♣5♦
Both players held club draws, while Vranken's top pair was in the lead. Jaros mucked his cards after the J♦ turn, and the 3♣ river completed the board as Vranken doubled up.
In a blind-on-blind pot on the 5♠J♦Q♥ flop, big blind Nikola Minkov pushed his last 270,000 into a pot of roughly 300,000, and was looked up by Bastian Bluem in the small blind.
Nikola Minkov: A♠10♣9♥6♥
Bastian Bluem: A♥9♣7♦4♥
Minkov made the nuts on the 8♦K♠ runout, sending him another double-up.
Sam limped in under the gun and called when Eran Carmi bumped it up to 180,000 on the button.
Sam then led with an all-in bet on the 4♣6♦5♥ flop, and Carmi called off his stack of 405,000 after spending one of his time banks.
Eran Carmi: A♠Q♦9♥7♠
Sam: A♦10♦6♥4♥
"Eight," Carmi calmly requested before the dealer dealt the K♣ turn.
His wish was heard, as the 8♠ river made him the nut straight and doubled him up, much to Sam's dismay.
Antoine Vranken opened to 140,000 in the cutoff, finding a call from Ermanno Di Nicola on the button. Patrik Jaros slid in a call from the big blind, and all three players checked the 6♠10♥7♥ flop.
Jaros led out on the 4♦ turn for 225,000, sending Vranken into the tank. Vranken used all five of his remaining time banks, finally letting his hand go as the clock hit zero for the sixth time.
Di Nicola folllowed with a fold, and Jaros raked in the pot while getting a massage.
Arriving on the 3♠7♥Q♦3♥J♣ river with 550,000 in the pot, big blind Alessandro De Michele checked to Leonidas Georgopoulos in the hijack. Georgopoulos announced an all-in bet, putting De Michele at risk for his 310,000.
De Michele spent a while in the tank, then called for his tournament life.
"You're good," Georgopoulos claimed, showing A♦K♦6♠2♦ for just ace-high.
A relieved De Michele tabled K♣Q♣9♥8♦ for queens and threes, earning him the pot and a double-up.
Heads up to the 5♣4♣A♦ flop, Tsuf Saltsberg checked from the big blind, and Ermanno Di Nicola bet 150,000 in the hijack. Saltsberg called, and he check-called again when Di Nicolas sized up to 400,000 on the 9♦ turn.
The 10♣ river then saw Saltsberg lead out for 425,000. Di Nicola spent about a minute in the tank before he released his cards and conceded the pot.
