Stepan Budac had a raise of 440,000 in front of him from the small blind before Kai Polotzek moved all in for 2,900,000 in middle position. Budac confirmed the amount before slamming in the chips to call, creating a pot with nearly 6,000,000 in the middle.
Kai Polotzek: K♠K♣ 
Stepan Budac: A♠K♠
Polotzek showed down a pair of kings and needed to avoid an ace to earn the massive double up. He successfully navigated the J♥9♠8♣ flop, while the 3♣ turn was no help to Budac. The river was the 6♣ and Polotzek stayed in the lead to secure the pot.
"Heaps. Heaps," Polotzek yelled out.

Axel Bayout opened from the cutoff with a raise to 350,000, leaving himself just 35,000 behind. Sensing the opportunity, Viorel Gavrila in the small blind responded by shoving all in. Bayout took his time before making the call, as a pay jump was looming.
Axel Bayout: A♠Q♥
Viorel Gavrila: A♥9♥
The flop 7♥J♦4♣ looked good for Bayout, who was at risk but ahead. Even the J♥ on the turn kept Bayout in the lead, though it gave Gavrila a flush draw.
The river, however, brought the 2♥, completing Gavrila’s flush and sending Bayout out of the tournament just shy of the pay jump.

"I beat you, unless you have the eight of clubs," Balogh said to Budac after the hand.

Manoe Betrix shoved in his stack of 780,000 in the cutoff and was looked up by Dirk Schumacher on the button, who covered him.
Manoe Betrix: A♠10♥
Dirk Schumacher: K♠K♥
The 4♠2♠7♣9♠9♥ board remained ace-free and also faded Betrix's turned flush draw, setting Betrix's elimination in stone and sending the pot Schumacher's way.

Michele Munari, down to just 595,000 in chips, decided to push all in from the button. Richard Balogh, sitting in the small blind, went deep into the tank, contemplating whether to make the call, but ultimately decided to fold. It may have been a smart move, as Maximilian Huber in the big blind snap-called the shove without hesitation.
Michele Munari: A♥Q♦
Maximilian Huber: A♠K♦
Munari was hoping for some help from the board, but his prayers went unanswered. The board ran out 4♣2♦2♣2♥7♠, offering no assistance to his hand and resulting in Munari’s elimination from the tournament.
