Angelo Jopek had opened from under the gun only for Alexandre Clusiau to three-bet from the cutoff. Clusiau received a call from Octavian Zamfir on the button as well as Jopek leaving three players to a flop with roughly 700,000 in the middle.
The flop came J♥10♥3♣. Jopek checked and Clusiau bet 280,000. Zamfir then moved all in for approximately 1,500,000. Jopek called with slightly less and Clusiau went into the tank.
After a few minutes Clusiau, who had both opponents covered, made the call.
Angelo Jopek: J♦10♦
Octavian Zamfir: A♣Q♦
Alexandre Clusiau: K♠K♣
Jopek had flopped top two pair to leave both of his opponents in rough shape, with Zamfir drawing to just two kings and Clusiau needing running cards to take the pot. Jopek was still ahead on the A♦ turn but the Q♠ river brought in the unlikely straight for Clusiau who dragged in the biggest pot of the tournament so far while sending both Jopek and Zamfir to the rail.

Wali Nezam moved all in for 370,000 from the button and was called by Azim Popatia in the big blind who had a covering stack to put Nezam at risk.
Wali Nezam: K♠7♠
Azim Popatia: A♠A♦
Nezam was in rough shape until the K♦7♣5♠ flop gave him top two pair leaving Popatia drawing to just five outs. The 4♥ turn and 9♦ changed nothing and Nezam, who had begun the day with the shortest stack at just 58,000, scored a full double up through Popatia. Nezam currently holds nearly 15 times the amount of chips he begun the day with.

Colin Neil Agnew limped in from the small blind and Alexandre Clusiau raised to 240,000 from the big blind. Agnew made the call.
The flop came 10♦5♦3♠. Agnew checked and Clusiau bet 300,000. Agnew moved all in and Clusiau called to put Agnew at risk.
Colin Neil Agnew: A♥10♥
Alexandre Clusiau: J♣J♥
Agnew's top pair was no good against Clusiau's overpair and he found no improvement on the 6♠ turn or 6♣ river resulting in his elimination while Clusiau extended his chip lead over the rest of the field.
