The floor has announced that there will be four more hands before the entire tournament is redrawn.
This will be the first time the pro players and invitees will be joined.
There will be a 20-minute break after the four hands.
Artur Martirosian raised to 120,000 out of the hijack and only Jamil Wakil called from the big blind.
Wakil checked first on the A♣7♣4♦ flop, and Martirosian bet the minimum of 60,000. Wakil made the call.
Both players checked the 5♠ turn to see the 6♦ appear on the river. Wakil put Martirosian all in for 800,000, prompting an instant fold by Martirosian.

Samuel Mullur raised under the gun to 120,000 with Tamas Adamszki calling from the hijack, and Dejan Kaladjurdjevic defending his big blind.
After Kaladjurdjevic checked the 6♣Q♦J♦ flop, Mullur placed out a continuation-bet of 185,000. Adamszki called, but Kaladjurdjevic check-raised to 540,000. Only Adamszki continued in the form of a call.
Kaladjurdjevic slid out a bet of 500,000 when the 9♥ fell on the turn. Adamszki called again.
The 8♣ river prompted Kaladjurdjevic to jam for Adamszki's remaining 1,275,000. Adamszki used up a couple of time banks, then returned his cards to the dealer, and allowed Kaladjurdjevic to pull in the pot.

Sirzat Hissou was down to just 170,000 before he decided to commit them all into the middle from the small blind. Adrian Strobel happily called from the big blind and the cards were revealed.
Sirzat Hissou: J♥8♥ 
Adrian Strobel: 5♠5♥
Hissou was in a flip against the small pair of Strobel, and he managed to flop a straight draw on the 7♠3♣9♥ flop. Hissou improved to the nuts on the 10♥ turn as the 7♦ completed the board, and cemented Hissou's double-up.

Sinan Unlu limped from the small blind and Mark Hammond raised to 200,000 from the big blind.
Unlu knuckled the action over to Hammond on the K♣7♠8♠ flop, and Hammond bet 140,000. Unlu continued in the form of a call.
The K♦ turn checked through for the 9♠ to roll off on the river. Unlu looked over at Hammond's stack, which was exactly 1,000,000, then jammed to put Hammond all in.
Hammond burned through a couple of his time bank cards before deciding that folding was the best option.
At another table, Orhan Ates was seen leaving the tournament area after losing all of his chips to Rob Yong.

From the hijack, Markkos Ladev raised to 100,000, and only Leon Sturm called from the big blind.
Sturm check-called a bet of 225,000 from Ladev on the 3♦10♦7♣ flop.
The turn came the Q♥ and Sturm check-called another bet from Ladev, this time for 550,000.
Sturm checked for the last time on the 5♣ river, and Ladev meticulously carved together a bet of 1,150,000. Sturm thought for a while, then check-jammed for 2,170,000.
Ladev went into deep thought for around four minutes before he ultimately chose to fold and surrendered the pot to Sturm.

Maher Nouira opened from the button, and Mark Hammond jammed for 1,015,000 out of the big blind. Nouira made the call with the covering stack to put Hammond at risk.
Mark Hammond: A♠4♠
Maher Nouira: Q♣J♣
Hammond was up out of his seat before the 10♠10♥3♣ came down, keeping his ace-high out in front. The 6♦ turn meant only a queen or jack on the river would send Hammond out. A 3♥ completed the board and Hammond doubled up.
