Kenneth Eng shoved in the small blind for his last 1,100,000 with K♦8♦ and got called by Pavel Plesuv in the big blind, with J♠8♣.
The board gave 7♥2♣Q♣6♥K♣ and Egg took down the pot and the double up. The hand after, he shoved on the button and picked up the blinds.
Scott Hardie open-shoved in the hijack for 4,900,000 and Pavel Plesuv decided to call on the button to create the following showdown
Scott Hardie: A♦Q♦
Pavel Plesuv: 10♥10♦
It was a typical flip situation, and Plesuv's pair of tens held throughout the 7♦3♠3♦6♣3♣ board to earn the pot and eliminate Hardie from the tournament.
Martin Stausholm completed his small blind and Andreas Kniep opted to check in the big blind.
They both checked through the A♦10♥8♠ flop to the 9♠ on the turn. Stausholm bet 900,000 for Kniep to make the call.
The river completed the board with the 3♦ and Stausholm took some time before opting to check. Kniep considered his options for a while and then fired out a bet of 1,700,000. Stausholm tanked with the 3,300,000 or so he had behind before making the call. Kniep tabled the K♦7♠ for the bluff for Stausholm to reveal the 3♠2♠ for the pair of treys to claim the pot.
