Just before the start of the previous break, Pedro Padilha found himself all-in and at risk preflop with the K♣K♠ and he was in prime shape to double. Emmanouil Fountoulakis was pipped by a notch with the Q♠Q♣ and couldn't cause any upset on the J♥8♦6♦2♠7♦ runout.
Level: 16
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
The final 104 players are now on another 15-minute break.
Eyal Revah limped in from under the gun and both Olga Iermolcheva and Lewis Spencer limped behind from the button and small blind respectively. Garik Tamasian then three-bet to 35,000 from the big blind, only for Revah to four-bet to 75,000. Iermolcheva and Spencer got out of the way while Tamasian moved all in for 222,000.
Revah thought about his decision for about a minute before opting to fold and Tamasian took down a nice pot without having to see a flop.
A bigger pot was brewing to the 7♣6♠2♦3♠A♣ river on which the shove by Andrei Boghean for 121,000 was eventually paid off by Jamie Gold. Boghean tabled his 5♠4♠ for a straight and Gold was visibly upset, flashing a set of treys.
"What do you think I have?" he bemoaned as his stack was cut into more than half.
In a big preflop flip, Jon Santos was all-in against Luis Dono and it was the most classic of coin flips that unfolded as follows.
Jon Santos: A♥K♠
Luis Dono: Q♠Q♥
The 10♣3♠3♣ flop and 8♦ turn were no threat for Dono but the A♦ river put a massive dagger into his stack.
Soon after that, Dono was involved in a battle of the blinds with Alexandra Botez. They were on the A♠Q♣10♦J♠4♣ river on which Botez led for 30,000 in the small blind. Dono tanked and the clock was called on him. With three seconds remaining, Dono sigh-called and mucked when Botez revealed K♠9♠ for broadway.
The same table also features Misael Iadisernia, the son of Giuseppe Iadisernia who has been eliminated and now watches from the nearby rail.
In a preflop confrontation Anthony Moreda was all in for 95,000 from early position against Jamie Gold in the cutoff holding a covering stack.
Anthony Moreda: K♠Q♦
Jamie Gold: Q♥Q♣
Gold was a massive favorite with top set on the Q♠7♥5♣ flop and by the J♠ turn Moreda was drawing dead. After the 3♦ river was dealt Moreda made his exit from the tournament area while Gold continued to add chips to his stack.
The action folded to Pedro Padilha in the small blind and he opted to open-shove into the big blind of Stoyan Obreshkov, who called with 116,000 behind after posting the big blind ante.
Stoyan Obreshkov: A♥7♠
Pedro Padilha: 9♥8♥
The A♦7♦3♦ flop was all Obreshkov and he locked up the double thanks to the 7♣ turn, which made the 5♥ river a formality.
Eyal Revah opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and Arkadiy Tsinis moved all in for 110,000 from the big blind. Revah made the call with a covering stack to put Tsinis at risk.
Arkadiy Tsinis: A♥K♦
Eyal Revah: 8♦8♥
Tsinis pulled ahead with trips on the A♠2♣A♣ turn and remained ahead on the 5♠ turn and K♥ river to score a double up through the chip leader.
On a completed board of J♠9♣8♠K♦J♣, the small blind checked and Aram Zobian bet 89,000 into a pot of what appeared to be around 116,000. Tom-Aksel Bedell quickly called from two seats over and the small blind reluctantly folded.
Zobian tabled the Q♠10♥ for the king-high straight and Bedell nodded, tapped the table in defeat and flashed just the 10♣.
"Ten seven?" Zobian inquired but the second card was never revealed.
Their table broke soon after to balance the shrinking field, which is now down to just 108 hopefuls.
