The player to his right went into the tank, and decided to go all-in. Ketzer immediately folded, and stood up to go on a break with 395,000 chips.

There was almost no action before the flop, as the player in the cutoff and Teun Mulder in the small blind both opted to call, but Damir Gabdullin, seated in the big blind, had different plans. Gabdullin raised to 57,000, and only Mulder called.
Both players checked through the flop of 7♣J♣10♠.
When the turn card, 9♥, appeared, Mulder initiated a check-raise, increasing the bet of 50,000 chips from Gabdullin to 160,000. Gabdullin promptly folded.
In the following hand, Mulder managed to scoop another three-way pot worth 178,000 with minimal action.

A player in middle position opened to 30,000, and he was called by the hijack and by Bart Lybaert in the cutoff.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♦Q♣9♥, and everybody checked to Lybaert who bet 40,000. The middle-position player was the only one to call.
Both players checked the 10♦ leading to the 6♥ river where the middle-position player bet 60,000. Lybaert looked at his cards, and folded.

Szymon Bujok initiated the action by raising to 25,000 from early position, receiving a call from a player in the hijack. Alexandr Dusco then went all in for 228,000 from the cutoff, prompting Marian Mitran to also push all in from the small blind with a stack of around 800,000.
Bujok carefully assessed his cards, appearing undecided about whether to call or fold. Eventually, he opted for a fold, as did the other remaining player.
Intriguingly, Dusco inquired of Mitran: "Aces? Kings?" and Mitran indeed disclosed K♠K♣. However, Dusco, showing dissatisfaction, revealed A♣K♦ during the unfolding of the showdown. The flop of Q♣4♠7♣ did not provide assistance to Dusco. The J♦ on the turn gave Dusco hope for a straight, prompting him to shout, "Ten, Ten," but unfortunately for him, the 7♦ on the river did not grant his wish, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Kalidou Sow opened to 25,000 from the cutoff, then called when Gheorghe Butuc three-bet to 88,000 from the big blind.
Butuc checked the 10♠7♣8♣ flop, so Sow took this opportunity to bet 65,000. He fired a second barrel on the J♦ turn, then Butuc check-raised all-in for approximately 350,000. Sow snap-called.
Gheoghe Butuc: A♣J♣
Kalidou Sow: Q♣9♣
Sow hit a straight on the turn. Butuc had top pair, and could still hope for clubs to complete his flush. But the 5♦ came on the river and Butuc was eliminated.

The 8♠ came on the river and Nemetz moved all-in for 599,000. Guven went into the tank, but seemed to have no choice but to call with a smaller stack.
Akin Guven: 3♠3♥
Stefan Nemetz: Q♦8♦
Guven hit a full house on the turn, but Nemetz found a better full house on the river to send Guven to the rail.
