The board had been washed by the dealer, but the table recounted that Toomas held a full house against his opponent's nut flush.
That's the biggest pot of the night so far as he pushes past 300,000.
A few tables over, Gianluca Pace thought he had been eliminated. He started leaving the poker room until a tourney director informed him he still had 400 chips left.
He has since run that back past a starting stack in a chip and a chair scenario.
There was already a sizeable pot brewing of about 30,000 on the turn when former MSPT champion Gianluca Pace shoved his remaining stack forward.
Sander Molner almost beat him into the pot and Pace was at risk.

Pace had shoved right into the set of jacks for Molner and the river changed nothing as Molner appears to be the chip leader in the room about halfway through the night.

A big pot was played across the room and a bunch of chips were headed in the direction of ClubGG qualifier Arturo Segura.
The board was quickly washed by the dealer, but Segura had gotten it in preflop with pocket queens, against the pocket jacks and ace-king of Ronald Kluber and George Garcia.
Segura made queens full and scooped a huge early pot. Kluber was eliminated and Garica took a hit.
