On the 5♠K♣10♥3♥ turn, Guillermo Giner checked from early position to Martin Keskkuela in middle position. The pot amounted to 150,000, and Keskkula put his opponent all in for 121,000.
Giner went deep into the tank, apologizing to the table before calling for his tournament life after a few minutes.
Guillermo Giner: A♣5♣
Martin Keskkuela: A♦7♦
The Q♦ river remained clean for Giner, who doubled up to a healthy stack of nearly 40 big blinds.
After an open-raise to 22,000 and several calls, Mikael Haapaniemi squeezed in an all-in three-bet from the button. Sami Saamanen called for 321,000 in the hijack, while the other players folded.
Sami Saamanen: 9♥9♣
Mikael Haapaniemi: A♦2♥
Haapaniemi turned extra outs on 7♠J♥5♥4♠, but the 4♦ river paired the board to grant the win to Saamanen's nines.
Haapaniemi was left with less than a big blind, which he lost not much later to become the next elimination.
Shortly after the break, Georgios Skarparis pushed in his last 40,000 on the button. Aliaksandr Shylko had open-raised in the cutoff, and he quickly called off.
Georgios Skarparis:A♥8♥
Aliaksandr Shylko: K♠K♦
Shylko locked up the pot on the 2♣2♠10♦K♣ turn, and Skarparis said his goodbyes as the 9♠ hit the river.
Over at another table, Raul Reyna was all in for 75,000 against Julian Selinger.
Raul Reyna: 9♠9♣
Julian Selinger: J♠J♣
Neither player improved on the 4♥10♥3♦5♠Q♣ runout, meaning Selinger's jacks eliminated Reyna.
