The 9♠ turn led to Ortega jamming to put Zhou at risk. The all-in bet sent Zhou into the tank for a considerable amount of time before he eventually decided to fold to yield the pot to Ortega.
David Kaufmann raised from the cutoff to 40,000 and swiftly faced a three-bet from Yuliyan Kolev on the button. Kolev made it 110,000 to play, and only Kaufmann called.

Mike Matusow: A♦8♣
Benjamin Chalot: A♠Q♣
Matusow was well behind against the better ace of Chalot; however, the flop had other plans for Matusow as it came K♣6♦8♠ to reverse the tables on Chalot.
The 10♣ turn did not change the rankings of the hand, and the 7♦ river completed the board to award Matusow the double-up.

Blaz Zerjav: A♦10♥
Jakob Miegel: A♠K♥
The board did not give Zerjav anything to work with as it ran out 5♦8♣5♣J♥2♥ to send him out of the tournament.
Daniyal Gheba shoved for 165,000 from middle position and Benjamin Chalot called from the hijack with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Yuliyan Kolev: 5♠5♦
[Removed:548]: A♠Q♦
