Jan Bendik had disappeared and Viliyan Petleshkov as well as Ali Sameeian confirmed what happened. Bendik looked at just one card and shoved for 54,000, and Petleshkov called, as did Sameeian. Both checked down an ace-high board and Petleshkov showed 
, which Sameeian had beat with ace-ten for top pair.
Bendik turned over one king, so he needed an ace as second card to remain in ... and his second card was another king to bust Bendik.
Right after, Scott Stewart raised to 24,000 and Tal Shemon Cohen moved all in for 106,000. Peter Bstieler in the small blind reshoved for 109,000 and Stewart folded after some consideration.
Tal Shemon Cohen: 
Peter Bstieler: 
The board came 
and Cohen busted to reduce the field to the last 27. There will be a short break to redraw for the last three tables.
On a flop reading 
, Sergio Fernandez led out for 28,000 from the small blind. Dominik Arnold called from middle position and the 
landed on the turn. Fernandez fired another 63,000 and Arnold announced all-in. Fernandez quickly folded and Arnold stacked up chips to nearly 600,000.
In the next hand, Arnold opened to 36,000 from the hijack and Valentin Vornicu called from the cutoff. The flop fell 
and both players checked to the 
on the turn. Arnold checked again and Vornicu bet 45,000. Arnold made the call and the 
completed the board.
Arnold checked for the third time and Vornicu pushed forward a bet of 150,000. Arnold tossed in a chip to call and Vornicu turned over 
for a set of tens. Arnold's cards went to the muck and he was right back to where he started.
Pawel Czichowski won a big three-bet pot against Georgios Zisimopoulos without showdown to build his stack while the Greek dropped to just over half a million. Right after, Ali Sameeian raised to 28,000 from the button and folded to the shove of Walter Treccarichi for 192,000 in total.
Over on table 84, Robert Schulz had table neighbor Scott Stewart all in and at risk for half of his remaining stack. It was a flip with the 
for Schulz and the 
of Stewart, and the board ran out 
to let Stewart double.
In a battle of the blinds the turn showed 
and Peter Bstieler bet 30,000, which Robert Schulz called. The 
appeared on the turn and Bstieler bet 100,000 rather quickly. Schulz gave it plenty of consideration and called to see Bstieler turn over 
for a flush.
Schulz had that beat with 
for the slightly superior flush and Bstieler was left speechless.
Pierre Neuville raised to 28,000 from the cutoff and called the shove of short stack Josef Gulas in the small blind for 101,000.
Josef Gulas:
Pierre Neuville: 
The kicker problem of Gulas turned out to be the savior, as the board came to let the Czech double.
