Micael Emanuelsson and Hans Sybrandi battled in a big pot with a flop where the Dutchman got his stack in with . Emanuelsson had pushed with for the higher flush draw, but Sybrandi found a six on the turn to double up in the previous level still.
Then, Sybrandi also got three streets of value out of his on a board of and jumped into the lead.
Despite Niko Koop admitting on twitter that he was not doing well on the bubble, the Russian has been very active and increased his stack on the bubble. This also applied for Koen Lauwereys as well, who consistently added chips to his stack as of lately.
The action folded to Mihai Ani Leon in the hijack and he moved all in for exactly 10 big blinds. Alexander Beeckx called from the cutoff and all other players folded. Once all the other tables finished their action, a classic race took place.

Leon:
The flop came and Beeckx took the lead. On the turn, Leon picked up a flush draw, but the river was a blank to let the bubble burst.
David Janssen had previously doubled with and now again with before Niels de Wijs shoved all in for around 60,000. Marco Herman called and it was a flip for the Dutchman:
De Wijs:
Herman:
The flop immediately improved the hand of Herman and he held up with the turn and river filling up the board.
Another player busted shortly after on the feature table and the field was reduced to 34 hopefuls.
Niko Koop raised and then faced the all in of Bogdan Adrian Avram for 51,000 as well as the reshove of David Baltus for slightly more from one seat over. The start-of-the-day chip leader quickly called and put both players at risk:
Koop:
Avram:
Baltus:
The flop provided both over cards for Avram but Koop had also made a set while Baltus was already on his way out. Both the turn and the river blanked and that sent Avram and Baltus to the rail. They were joined by Jonny Domstedt, who busted at the same time on another table and took 32nd place.
The remaining 31 players have been sent into a 60-minute dinner break. While we eat, you can enjoy this interview with one of the chip leaders, former Irish Open winner Ian Simpson.
