Stefan Kiwisch was getting up from the table, his K♣Q♥ being bested by Jason Barton's A♠9♠ after Barton rivered a flush on the king-queen high board, all the money going in on the turn.
Tim Hanssen opened to 100,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet jam with the covering stack by Hassan Sey in the small blind. Hanssen quickly got the rest of his 795,000 stack into the middle.
Tim Hanssen: K♥K♠
Hassan Sey: 7♦7♠
Hanssen had Sey crushed and there were no surprises on the 9♥4♣3♥K♦2♥ runout, Hanssen improving to a set on the turn.
Shortly after Evert Rosseel opened to 100,000 from the cutoff, and believed Hassan Sey had three-bet jammed for around 800,000 from the small blind. Rosseel said call and exposed K♦K♣, however Sey had left 50,000 behind.
On the A♥6♦3♣ flop, Sey check-folded versus Rosseel's bet of 75,000 saying he had only two outs.
Alexandru Danes opened from the cutoff, and didn't wait to call when Luke Nieuwenhuis on the button jammed for 1 260 000.
Luke Nieuwenhuis: A♣J♣
Alexandru Danes: A♠A♥
Nieuwenhuis started calling his friends to tell them that he was going to be eliminated, but after a flop of 6♣K♥4♣, he hit a lucky flush with the Q♣ turn to double up after the A♦ river. He immediately apologized to Danes.
Ramdhane Ben Maamar opened to 100,000 from the cutoff, and Erwin Vu Duc three-bet jammed from the small blind for 550,000. Maamar asked for the count and made the call.
Erwin Vu Duc: A♣10♠
Ramdhane Ben Maamar: A♠8♣
Vu Duc had his opponent dominated, and the K♠J♣6♠ flop was clear. However the 8♠ turn put Maamar in front, and the J♥ river failed to alter matters.
Djamal Boutaleb opened to 150,000 from under the gun. Jozef Cibicek in the cutoff three-bet to 275,000, Boutaleb four-bet all-in for roughly 1,000,000 and Cibicek quickly called.
Djamal Boutaleb: A♥Q♠
Jozef Cibicek: J♦J♣
Boutaleb's rail asked for an ace, but Cibicek's jacks held all the way through a board of 7♠2♣2♠7♥5♥ leading to Boutaleb's elimination.
Alexander Ovechkin jammed from under the gun for 715,000, and was looked up by Tobias Peters in the big blind.
Alexander Ovechkin: A♣10♣
Tobias Peters: K♥J♥
Ovechkin was ahead, and the ace was in the window on the A♦9♥4♥ flop. However Peters had a flush draw, and the flop was followed by the J♦ turn and K♦ river to give Peters two pair.
