The final 30 players remaining in the €550 Main Event have been sent on a 15 minute break, the last one of the night.
With close to 50,000 chips already in the pot, Mohamed Bardei, from middle position, fired a third barrel on a completed board of 7♠10♦J♣10♥K♥.
His opponent, seated one spot to his left, went deep into the tank for more than two minutes before making the call, only to be shown the bad news. Bardei tabled J♥10♣ for a full house, good enough to claim a pot worth more than 114,000 chips.

The cutoff opened to 2,000 and Titas Bertasius was the lone caller from the big blind.
The dealer spread 2♠4♣K♥ and the initial raiser fired a sizable continuation bet. On the 6♠ turn, the cutoff applied more pressure with an overbet, and Bertasius stuck around once again.
The 7♦ river saw a shift in momentum as Bertasius led out for 20,000. His opponent responded with a raise to 60,000, putting the Lithuanian at risk. After a long stint in the tank, Bertasius pushed his chips forward to make the call.
The cutoff immediately let out a frustrated sigh as he tabled Q♠J♠ for a missed flush draw. Bertasius turned over 5♣5♥, earning a chorus of murmurs from the table along with praise for pulling off a massive hero call.

Three players were involved on a flop of 2♥K♠A♥, with more than 25,000 chips already in the middle. Sergio Lobato checked from the small blind and the big blind followed suit. The under the gun player then moved all-in for his last 19,000.
Lobato quickly reshoved, covering his opponent. The big blind took a few moments, double checked his cards, and ultimately folded.
Under the Gun: A♠Q♦
Sergio Lobato: A♦K♦
Lobato had his opponent in rough shape with top two pair against top pair. The 6♣ turn sealed his fate, and the 3♦ river was inconsequential. Lobato dragged a pot worth close to 65,000 chips, pushing his stack past the 100,000 mark.

A short stack with just 6,500 chips moved all-in from the cutoff. The button folded, but Adrián Atienza called from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way, setting up another preflop showdown.
Cutoff: Q♠7♥
Adrián Atienza: 5♥5♠
It was effectively a coin flip, but the 8♥5♣8♠ flop quickly swung the odds heavily in Atienza's favor as he improved to a full house. The 3♥ turn and 7♣ river were a mere formality, earning Atienza a pot worth around 14,000 chips and sending his opponent to the rail.

Paco Moreno opened from the hijack and the button responded with a three-bet to 4,500. The rest of the table folded back to Moreno, who moved all-in for his remaining 14,000. The button quickly tossed in a chip to make the call.
Francisco Moreno: A♦K♠
Button: Q♣Q♠
It was the classic preflop coin flip, with Moreno in need of help from the board. The dealer spread K♥6♥7♠, immediately giving Moreno the lead. The 5♦ turn and J♠ river changed nothing, earning Moreno a double up and boosting his stack to nearly 30,000.
