Niklas Bauer shoved for approximately 800,000 on the button and it was folded to Patrick Boernicke in the big blind, who called for slightly less to put himself at risk.
Patrick Boernicke: K♣J♠
Niklas Bauer: A♠8♥
Bauer held the lead with his ace, and the 5♣4♣6♠Q♠2♠ runout changed nothing — eliminating Boernicke late in the evening.
Action folded to Matteo Orchide in the small blind who moved all in. Felipe Ketzer snap-called in the big blind.
Matteo Orchide: K♣6♦
Felipe Ketzer: Q♠Q♥
Orchide had run into Ketzer's big pair and found no help on the 5♦9♦9♣10♣10♠ board as Ketzer secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down and Ketzer had around 1,200,000 remaining, while Orchide had around 900,000 and was eliminated.
Ladislav Kellner opened to 125,000 first-to-act and just behind him, Francis Klar three-bet to 275,000. Action folded back around to Kellner, who called.
Kellner check-called a 200,000 bet from Klar on the J♥2♦6♠ flop and then both players checked down on the Q♠ turn and 6♦ river.
Kellner tabled 7♦7♥, but they were no good against the K♣K♦ of Klar, who dragged the pot.
David Hala was all in for 1,100,000 on the button, Karl Skolin had his last 480,000 in the middle from early position, and Lazare Kalebashvili had them both covered and at risk in middle position.
Karl Skolin: K♣Q♥
David Hala: 10♥10♣
Lazare Kalebashvili: 9♣9♦
Hala was ahead with his pair of tens, but that proved short-lived as the 9♠4♥A♥ flop gave Kalebashvili a set. The board ran out 3♦7♠ and both opponents were sent to the rail while Kalebashvili raked in the massive pot.
Around 700,000 was already in the middle as Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart and Paolo Concetti went heads-up to the 4♠3♥2♠ flop.
Concetti then led out for 625,000 in the small blind and Mazza-Boussemart called in early position. The turn came the 5♥ and Concetti slowed down and checked.
Mazza-Boussemart then bet 500,000, sending Concetti deep into the tank. "I have a good hand," he told Mazza-Boussemart.
"If you see my cards and the board. We're all playing for the win," Mazza-Boussemart replied. Omar Eljach eventually called the clock, and Concetti folded after several minutes.
"I think you were better," Mazza-Boussemart said, turning over 8♠8♣ as he took the massive pot.
"What a play," Eljach added.
Level: 23
Blinds: 25,000/50,000
Ante: 50,000
From the button, Lazare Kalebashvili raised to 90,000, and Sebastian Langrock in the big blind was the only one to call.
On the flop 6♦A♣K♣, Kalebashvili made a continuation bet of 175,000, and Langrock check-called. But Langrock struggled to make a decision after Kalebashvili fired a second barrel of 425,000 on the turn 5♣.
Langrock stood up to look at Kalebashvili's stack and eventually called. Then on the river 2♥, he checked but went even deeper into the tank when Kalebashvili moved all in for 860,000.
"Where are you from?" Langrock asked, but Kalebashvili didn't answer. So Langrock took his dice and rolled it in front of him. It landed on number two, and a few seconds later, he called.
Lazare Kalebashvili: K♥6♣
Sebastian Langrock: K♠10♣
Langrock tried to make a hero call with a pair of kings, but Kalebashvili had two pairs and doubled up.
Giovanni Stagliano was already all in on a short stack as Kakhi Mrelashvili and Simone Pascucci built a side pot of around 200,000 heading to the turn on a board of 3♠K♦2♣3♥.
Both players checked and the river came the 9♥. Mrelashvili then bet 150,000 from the big blind and Pascucci responded by moving all in.
Mrelashvili only had around another 150,000 behind but snap-folded. Pascucci then turned over A♦A♥ and Stagliano mucked on his way to the exit.
