A player in middle position raised to 5,000 and when the action was on Kevin Gerhart on the button he three-bet to 16,000. The player in the small blind folded and the action was on Kenny Hallaert in the big blind.

Hallaert put out a four-bet to 42,000 and the initial raiser folded his hand. Gerhart asked Hallaert how much he started the hand with and the Belgian replied with, "Over 200,000".

Gerhart thought about it for a bit and then shoved all in. Hallaert folded very quickly and Gerhart collected the chips.

Since the money has been reached, there is a constant stream of eliminations. Right at this moment, the tournament has already lost half of the field since the start of the day.

Dominik Nitsche took it upon himself to send a player home in a pot where they got all their chips in the middle on the {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop.

Nitsche was holding {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and needed to hit a seven or a diamond against his opponent's {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and that gave Nitsche the straight and he improved even more on the {4-Diamonds} river. Nitsche had his opponent covered and scoops a very healthy pot.
