Fresh after the elimination of Morten Froland which boosted the stack of Aurelie Reard, it was Oliver Said who opened to 700 in the cutoff. Alfredo Cuti called on the button and Alexandru Budai came along in the big blind. On the 
flop, Budai check-called a bet worth 1,100 by Said and they then checked it down on the 
turn as well as the 
river.
Budai turned over 
for two pair and Said mucked his cards.
Sergio Benso was spotted with a gutsy move in a battle cutoff versus small blind when facing Alex Hendriks. The latter check-called the 
turn for 8,000 and checked the 
river. Benso pushed for around 11,000 and was snap-called by Hendriks to reveal the 
for seven-high with a straight flush blocker.
Hendriks tabled the 
for the ace-high flush and scored the knockout.
On a heads-up turn of 
board, Marco Grujic looked up the all-in by Robert Drummond for 12,700 with the 
for the nut flush draw. However, he had zero equity as Drummond's 
had already locked up the double with nines full to make the 
river a formality.
Zvezdan Tadic raised to 800 and received two callers including Frank Op de Woerd on the button. Eszter Fabian then three-bet to 4,100 in the small blind and Tadic was the only caller. The 
flop brought a bet worth 4,400 by Fabian and Tadic double-checked his cards before sending them into the muck.
Fabian raked in the pot with a nod and smile on the face.
Alexis Longhe had been building his stack for the past hour and nearly doubled the initial 30,000 in chips that all participants received. He just suffered a minor setback when he battled with Shucheng Shen. On the river of a 
board, Longhe checked and then instantly called a bet worth 6,000 into 15,000.
"Flush, ace high," Shen announced and rolled over the 
for the nut flush on a paired board. Longhe shrugged as he exposed the for turned trips that was no good anymore.
With 13,100 in the middle in a battle big blind versus button, Dwayne Sluis bet 3,000 on the 
flop. Nicolae Hotoleanu came along to see the 
turn on which Sluis opted to check. Hotoleanu made it 5,000 to go and that was all it took to earn the pot uncontested for the Romanian.
Heads-up to the 
flop, Maciej Toma checked and then called a bet worth 600 by Samuel Dray. The same action repeated on the turn for 2,300 and Toma also checked the 
on the river. Dray grabbed two blue T-5,000 chips and announced a bet worth 8,500.
Toma gave it some consideration but eventually settled on a fold to forfeit the pot.
