Joao Vieira got things started with a raise from under the gun. Matthias Eibinger called on his left and Santhosh Suvarna pushed all in for 175,000 in the hijack. Vieira clicked it to 305,000 and Eibinger reraised to over 600,000. Vieira folded and the two remaining hands were tabled.
Santhosh Suvarna: K♠Q♠
Matthias Eibinger: A♣Q♣
The flop came 10♠9♥2♠ and Suvarna picked up straight and flush draws despite being dominated preflop. The 5♥ on the turn changed nothing but the 8♠ on the river gave Suvarna a flush to triple his short stack.

Martin Kabrhel has been a thorn in Alex Foxen's side for multiple tournaments now, and that thorn proved to be fatal today. In a heads-up pot between the two, Foxen checked on a flop of 3♦6♠5♣ and Kabrhel bet 50,000.
Foxen check-jammed a stack of about 200,000. Kabrhel went in the tank and then called.
Alex Foxen: A♦4♦
Martin Kabrhel: A♠Q♦
Both players had ace-high but Kabrhel had the better kicker and stayed ahead as the board finished out K♥10♣ to mark Foxen's elimination as he missed his straight draw.
