When it folded to Jovan Kenjic in the small blind, he shoved for about 300,000, and Damir Zhugralin snapped him off from the big blind.
Jovan Kenjic: Q♥9♣
Damir Zhugralin: K♥J♠
Kenjic was behind the king-high of Zhugralin, but he did have two live cards working for him.
However, he found no help on the 3♥J♦5♣2♣7♥ runout as Zhugralin improved to a pair of jacks, sending Kenjic to the rail and increasing his stack to more than a million.
Danilo Velasevic moved all in for 285,000 from the hijack, and Tom Middleton called in the big blind.
Danilo Velasevic: 10♥10♣
Tom Middleton: A♠9♥
Middleton found top pair on the 3♥Q♣4♣2♣A♣ board, but Velasevic rivered a four-card flush with his 10♣, earning him a double-up.
Artur Martirosian raised to 50,000 from the hijack, and Kadir Altinbasak three-bet to 155,000 from the button. When the action got back to Martirosian, he thought for a while before making the call.
Both players checked the A♠8♥Q♦ flop to see the J♣ arrive on the turn. Martirosian led out for 140,000, and Altinbasak shoved for Martirosian's remaining 355,000. Martirosian snap-called.
Artur Martirosian: A♦J♦
Kadir Altinbasak: 8♦8♣
Martirosian had two pair, but he was a long way behind the set of eights of Altinbasak.
Martirosian began to get out of his seat, which did the trick with the poker gods, as the J♠ landed on the river, giving him the higher full house and saving him from the rail.
The action was picked up as Yannick Schumacher manoeuvred his stack of roughly 1,000,000 into the middle from the big blind, and was at risk against Tom Middleton in the hijack.
Yannick Schumacher: J♠J♦
Tom Middleton: Q♦Q♣
The 7♣7♠10♠5♦7♥ gave both players a full house, but Schumacher was still second best, seeing his run in the event come to an end.
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 425,000 from the small blind, leaving himself with just a few chips behind, and Sondre Stormyr jammed from the big blind. Chaoui called to put himself at risk, and the cards were tabled.
Mehdi Chaoui: A♠10♦
Sondre Stormyr: A♣3♦
Chaoui had the superior ace, and that remained the case throughout the 5♠5♣6♠2♥5♥ runout, earning him a double-up at the expense of Stormyr.
Danilo Velasevic raised to 50,000 from middle position, and Artsiom Lasouski three-bet from the hijack to 125,000. Velasevic called when the action got back to him.
Velasevic checked when he saw the 5♦3♥J♣ flop, and Lasouski placed out a continuation-bet of 65,000. Velasevic check-raised to 170,000, which Lasouski called.
The K♣ on the turn brought another check from Velasevic, and Lasouski fired 160,000. Velasevic continued with a call.
A final check came from Velasevic on the 2♥ river, and after a few moments, Lasouski slid out a couple of towers of green T-25,000 chips, putting Velasevic all in for his remaining 500,000.
Velasevic agonised over the decision for around three minutes, burning through several time banks. In the end, he folded, and Lasouski added more chips to his stack.
