Players are heading on a 15-minute break.
Michael Gathy opened to 8,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in the hijack. Kharlin Sued was on the button and shoved for 39,000, and Gathy shoved all in behind. The button folded.
Kharlin Sued: 10♠10♣
Michael Gathy: A♦Q♣
Gathy added a lot of outs on the all-diamond 3♦6♦5♦ flop as he improved to the nut flush draw to go along with his overcards. However, the board ran out in Sued's favor as his pocket tens maintained their lead ont he 7♠ turn and 7♥ river.
After just flipping with each other, Matas Cimbolas and Jun Obara got into another preflop confrontation which ended with them both committing their stacks to the pot.
Jun Obara: A♠K♣
Matas Cimbolas: Q♣Q♠
Obara was the player at risk with his stack of 125,000 and took the lead on the 3♣K♠2♠ flop after he paired his king. Cimbolas would need to find a two-outer, just as Obara did a while ago, if he wanted to eliminate the Japanese player. However, lightning didn't strike twice as the 3♦ turn and 8♣ river kept the Big Slick of Obara in the lead.
Heads-up on a flop of 4♥K♠8♠, Adam Friedman in the cutoff bet 7,000 and he was called by the big blind.
They both decided to check the 7♣ flop, but on the 6♥ river, the big bind bet 4,000.
Friedman threw a chip at his opponent to call, but his cards went into the muck when the big blind flipped over A♦4♦ for a pair.
Paolo Boi raised under the gun to 13,000 and Daniel De Almeida shoved from the button for 57,000. Aristeidis Moschonas called out of the small blind, then Boi shoved all in. Moschonas had around 175,000 chips total and made the call.
Daniel De Almeida: A♠10♠
Aristeidis Moschonas: Q♥Q♠
Paolo Boi: J♠J♦
Moschonas was the favorite to more than double up but the odds flipped in Boi's favor as the 8♣K♠J♥ flop improved him to middle set. Almeida had a gutshot but he was drawing dead by the time the 8♦ turn had been revealed as Boi improved to a full house.
Only a queen on the river could save Moschonas but the 4♠ wasn't what he needed which meant Boi took the pot and delivered a double elimination.
Felipe Ketzer opened from middle position and he was called by the player to his left and by Fabien Gün in the big blind.
After Gün and Ketzer checked the 5♦7♦A♣ flop, the middle-position player bet 8,000. Gün was the only one two call.
Both players checked the Q♠ turn leading to the 4♠ river where Gün led out for 15,000 with 9♦6♦ for a missed flush draw. His opponent called with Q♣J♣ for a pair and scooped the pot.
