A pot of 28,000 had brewed on a completed board of K♥J♠7♠8♣10♣, in a cutoff versus button hand between Scott Rodriguez and Matteo Montanari.
Rodriguez led out with a bet of 8,500, and folded to a raise of 28,000 from Montanari, after a decent spell in the tank.
Montanari flashed the A♥, and after a bit of probing from Rodriguez, seemed to confirm he had ace-queen for the straight.
With 36,000 in the middle on a completed board of A♣5♦2♥A♠6♦, Bojan Simoncic checked from the small blind to Alexander zur Linden in middle position.
Zur Linden jammed for 32,000, and Simoncic went into the tank. After a reasonable period of contemplation, he flicked in a calling chip.
Zur Linden looked concerned and tabled A♦J♣ for trip aces, but he need not have worried as Simoncic shook his head with frustration and attempted to muck, the dealer tabling 10♣10♦.
The organizers pushed the boat out this year with a €500,000 guarantee attached to the Grand Event, a significant increase on the €300,000 offered 12 months ago.
The guarantee has just been breached, with the prize pool currently standing at €515,650.
Late registration is open until the start of Level 11 in this flight, and there are two further starting flights still to come, ensuring a monster prize pool will be up for grabs.

Lasse Aarnisalo opened to 1,600 from early position, and received a call from Vincenzo Cinelli in the cutoff, before Lorenzo Pannunzi produced a three-bet to 6,800 from button.
Only Aarnisalo called to see the K♠Q♠4♥ flop, where he quickly check-folded versus a bet of 5,100 from Pannunzi.
Shpetim Ismajli opened to 3,200 from early position, and called a three-bet jam from Stephen Docherty from the small blind of 18,800.
Stephen Docherty: 8♠8♣ 
Shpetim Ismajli: 10♠6♥
A few eyebrows were raised at the table when Ismajli's holding was revealed, and he turned the broadway straight on the A♣Q♥J♦K♥Q♣ runout to send Docherty packing.
With around 14,000 in the middle on a flop of 4♣3♣3♠, Lorenzo Pannunzi check-called in the face of a bet of 6,000 from Bogdan Martynczuk.
The 6♣ appeared on the turn, and Pannunzi checked once more. Martynczuk went for a double-barrel of 11,000, and quickly called when Pannunzi jammed for 36,100.
Lorenzo Pannunzi: Q♣9♣
Bogdan Martynczuk: 10♣10♠
Pannunzi had turned the flush, and Martynczuk could not find a two-outer on the 2♣ river, improving to an irrelevant flush.
With around 28,000 in the middle on a completed board of 8♦6♠4♣A♣K♣, Andrew McDonald had led out with a bet of 16,000, and was in the tank following a min-click to 32,000 from Fabrizio Capillo.
The clock was called, and shortly after a 30-second warning, McDonald made the call, and promptly mucked when Capillo tabled Q♣7♣ for the nut flush.
