Action Before the Break
"uwintakeit" and "xnrobix" clashed prior to the break when all the chips went in after a Q♣9♦7♣ flop and "uwintakeit" had the best of it with 7♥7♠ versus A♠Q♦. The 5♠ turn and [h] river were a formality as "xnrobix" busted and re-entered into the same seat.
Arsenii "josef_shvejk" Karmatckii won a flip with Q♣Q♠ against the A♠K♥ of Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo on a 6♥4♣3♣3♠Q♥ runout to double while Pardo remained above a million in chips.
[Removed:575] had a kicker problem with A♣4♣ as Gustavo "22ehnutzz" Mastelotto's A♠J♠ held up on a 10♥10♦8♦9♦ board to eliminate the Dutchman for the second time. For Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois it came even worse as he was eliminated on his third and final entry.
"DON_CHICHO21" was reduced to a short stack after his Q♠Q♦ lost a flip to "kimokh" with the A♣K♣ on a 8♥7♥3♥K♥3♣ runout.
Last but not least, Gary "quiditbear" Hasson rivered a straight with his 5♥3♠ out of the big blind to boost his stack soon after entering the tournament.
