The pocket pair held and improved to a full house on the Q♣6♣3♠K♣K♠ runout.

The flip went to Mirzapour thanks to a board of A♠J♣4♠J♠3♦.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Maier gathered his belongings and slowly headed towards the payout desk but not before splashing his chips towards the dealer, who then pushed it to Johannes Mueller.

On a board of 7♦7♥5♥3♠4♣, the J♣J♠ of Mueller reigned supreme and that reduced the field further. Prior to the first break of the day, fewer than 180 players remain.

Eiselt tabled the A♥8♣ for aces full of eights and the 6♠4♠ of Sabatino were briefly exposed before he left the tournament area.
