On the business end of the day, the field has grown to 280 entries and surpassed the attendance of the first flight. Only 144 players are currently in contention with nearly two full levels to be played for tonight.
Andreas Fischer raised to 2,300 and then received a three-bet to 6,100. Tayfun Ozlu called the three-bet in the cutoff, as did Rifat Gegic on the button. What followed was the four-bet shove by table chip leader Fischer and one opponent after the other sent the cards into the muck.
Apparently there were three seat open in a row in as many hands over on table 98 and the last one saw a preflop contest between Vasileios Chatzilazarou and Josef Snejberg.
Vasileios Chatzilazarou: 
Josef Snejberg: 
There was no escape for Chatzilazarou this time on the 
board as Snejberg further increased his big stack. The table broke right after to balance the shrinking field.
Level: 8
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
Following an open raise, Nadir Kinno min-raised in the cutoff and Erkan Soenmez then four-bet to 11,700 in the small blind. That forced out the initial raiser while Kinno engaged in some table chat before calling.
The 
flop brought a bet worth 9,500 by Soenmez and Kinno grinned. "Do you have a pocket pair?" Kinno asked and Soenmez replied "you don't have because you just min-raised". The shove by Kinno followed and Soenmez called all-in.
Erkan Soenmez: 
Nadir Kinno: 
Nothing changed on the 
turn and the river only improved Soenmez, who doubled for 32,000.
On a board of 
Fulvio Sansanelli pushed his remaining 23,000 over the line. Bartosz Pajak called revealing 
which was not good enough to beat Sansanelli's full house when he rolled over to take down a massive pot.
During the hand, GG Poker Ambassador Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier sat down at the table.
Picking up the action on the 
flop, Fausto Tantillo bet 13,500 in the big blind and was called by Sebastian Ulrich in the cutoff. Tantillo then also bet the 
turn for 28,300, earning a swift call by Ulrich. The 
fell on the river and Tantillo emptied the clip with a shove for an effective 63,000.
Ulrich went deep into the tank and eventually surrendered.
Nedeljko Todorovic and Ermanno Di Nicola invested 25,000 each on the 
turn and Di Nicola then bet big on the river.
"I call, if you have it you have it," Todorovic said within ten seconds and Di Nicola rolled over the for the top pair. Todorovic's was good enough for the double worth 45,000, which evened out the stack sizes of both players.
On a board of 
Samuel Grigorian bet 24,000 to put the pressure on Ermanno Di Nicola. The bet was enough for Di Nicola to fold his hand but still has a very healthy chip stack of 230,000.
