Three-handed on a board of 7♠4♦9♣2♠, Piotr Sztential bet 13,000 from early position and Luigi Shehadeh moved all in for his last 18,300 in middle position. Robert Novak gave it some thought in the big blind before mucking, while Sztential quickly called.
Sztential showed K♥9♠ for top pair, but Shehadeh had A♠A♦ and improved to a set on the A♥ river to double up.
Lukas Zaskodny bet 2,200 from the cutoff. Xhavit Berisha defended his big blind and called.
The flop came J♣9♠5♥ and Zaskodny continued for 1,700 which was called by Berisha.
The turn of 7♦ saw the Czech WSOP Bracelet holder bet 4,500. Berisha responded with a raise to 15,500. Zaskodny was toing and froing over his decision but ultimately folded and Berisha dragged in the pot.
Three players went to the 4♥4♣3♠ flop with around 20,000 in the pot when Virgile Turchi bet 5,000 from the hijack.
Alfredo Vega Meister called on the button, while Simon Wilenius folded in early position.
The turn came the 8♣ and Turchi bet another 15,000. Vega Meister again called and the 7♣ fell on the river.
Turchi then moved all in for 45,000, sending Vega Meister deep into the tank. The clock was eventually called and Vega Meister folded.
Turchi showed K♣Q♠ for a bluff as he took the pot.
With two players seeing a board of 6♠10♦4♣3♥, Alexander Tkatschew bet 11,000 from the hijack and was called by Ka Ming Li in the cutoff.
The river was the 3♦ and Tkatschew moved all in for 30,600. Li made the call with a covering stack.
Tkatschew could only show Q♣J♣ for a bluff while Li tabled A♠K♣ for just ace-high to score the knockout.
Johan Guilbert was on the button and called a 3,000 bet from Matan Mahal, who was in the hijack, on a flop of 2♠6♠2♦.
Matan check-called a 10,500 bet from Guilbert on the 4♥ turn and checked once more after the 6♦ double-paired the board.
Guilbert sized down for a 5,500 bet, which was met with a check-raise to 20,000 by Mahal. Guilbert tanked for a bit and three-bet enough to put Matan all in for his last 30,000. Matan called and Guilbert showed J♠5♠ for a whiffed flush draw. Mahal held the A♥A♦ — which was more than enough for the double up.
With around 56,000 in the middle on a board of 6♠K♠5♥8♥, Alexandros Kolonias got his last 61,200 in the middle from the cutoff against Adrian State in middle position.
Kolonias had A♥K♦ for top pair, but State showed 9♦7♦ for the turned straight. Kolonias was already drawing dead by the 6♥ river as the 2019 champion was sent to the rail.
Axel Hallay and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer are also at this table sporting big stacks.
With two players seeing a final board of 3♥7♦9♥4♣5♠ and roughly 35,000 already in the middle, Koray Korkmaz bet 30,000 from the big blind and Max Neugebauer made the call from the cutoff.
Korkmaz could only show 10♣8♦ for a bluff while Neugebauer showed down 9♣9♦ for top set to take down a sizable pot.
There was already around 40,000 in the middle as David Hu and Paul Hoefer went to a flop of 2♥7♦4♥. Hu, in middle position, then bet 15,000.
Hoefer called in the cutoff and the 9♠ fell on the turn. Hu checked over to Hoefer, and it was the German's turn to bet 15,000. Hu paused for a moment before announcing he was all in.
Hoefer had around 78,000 remaining and only thought about the decision for a few seconds before mucking.
Adrian State opened to 2,500 from middle position and received calls from Alexandros Kolonias in the cutoff and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer in the big blind.
The flop came A♠9♣8♦ and action checked around to Kolonias who bet 2,000. Both state and Gallitzendoerfer made the call.
All three players checked the 8♥ turn leading to the 9♥ river. Gallitzendoerfer bet 7,000, forcing a fold from both opponents.
