Justin Bonomo opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from the button before Dominik Nitsche three-bet to 17,500 from the small blind.
Mike Watson quizzed Nitsche over how much he had behind before he four-bet to 50,000.
Bonomo placed a time bank card in front of his 60,000 stack and started to think. The American sat silent for 40 seconds before he passed his cards to the dealer and Nitsche quickly folded.
Jean-Noel Thorel opened and Erik Seidel moved all in for around 170,000. Thorel called and the two turned over their hands.

Haralabos Voulgaris checked from under the gun, and Jesus Cortes bet 105,000.
Voulgaris, sat with a 70,000 stack, would have to put his tournament life on the line to call, and it would seem that was too far a stretch to do, as the Canadian folded after a minute in the tank.
