Achim Prinzing opened to 1,500 from under the gun and was called by Abdulaziz Al Dosari in middle position before Armin Aghaie put in a three-bet to 6,000 from the hijack. David Dongwoo Ko then four-bet to 18,000 and action folded around to Prinzing.
Prinzing briefly considered his options before responding with a five-bet to 65,000, forcing folds from all opponents to take down a healthy pot without having to see a flop.
With the flop showing 3♥K♦9♠ and a pot of around 5,400, Majid Alimoradpour checked as the first to act. Yan Shing Tsang bet 1,400, which both Christian Rudolph and Alimoradpour called.
On the 5♦ turn, action was checked to Rudolph, who fired out 5,600. Alimoradpour made the call, while Tsang folded.
Both players checked the 8♠ river, leading to a showdown. Alimoradpour revealed J♠9♥ for a pair of nines, but Rudolph turned over K♣J♣ for top pair, kings, and scooped the pot.
Daniel Sulz raised to 1,200 in early position before Kuljinder Sidhu three-bet to 4,800 in middle position. Negjdet Avdylaj called in the big blind, while Sulz also called as they went three-handed to the Q♣K♠7♦ flop.
Sidhu continued for 4,000 and only Sulz called. Sidhu then bet 11,000 on the 2♣ turn and Sulz again called.
Both players checked the 7♣ river and Sulz turned over A♠K♥ for two pair to win the pot.
Kai Herold opened to 1,200 from the button and was called by Andreas Frohli in the big blind.
The flop came K♦10♦5♠ and Frohli check-called a 1,100 continuation-bet from Herold.
Both players checked the 2♣ turn leading to the Q♠ river. Frohli bet 3,500 and Herold made the call.
Herold had rivered second pair with A♥Q♥ but Frohli had top pair with K♠9♥ and he took the pot.
Albert Coppens was all-in for his remaining stack of around 8,000 and Omar Eljach had put him at risk.
Albert Coppens: A♦9♦ 
Omar Eljach: A♠K♣
Coppens needed some help but the flop of 3♣5♦J♥ was pretty dry for him. However, the 10♦ on the turn did give Coppens a flush draw to go along with his pair outs, but the 6♠ was a brick, which meant he was eliminated.
Cedric Schwaederle opened the action with a raise to 1,300, getting called by four players.
On the 3♥9♠2♠ flop, Schwaederle fired a continuation bet of 3,200, and everyone folded except Christopher Campisano, who made the call.
The 4♦ turn saw Schwaederle stay aggressive with a 10,000 bet, which Campisano called once more.
When the 2♣ river came, Schwaederle kept up the pressure with a final bet of 25,500. Campisano looked reluctant but ultimately let his hand go, allowing Schwaederle to scoop a sizable pot.
Jessica Teusl raised from early position to 1,300 and Zdenek Svoboda three-bet from the small blind to 5,000. Teusl called.
They both saw a flop of J♦6♣3♦ where Svoboda made a continuation-bet of 5,000, which Teusl called.
A 5♣ hit the turn and Svoboda kept on firing with a bet of 10,000, and Teusl folded.
Farid Jattin had just taken his seat in the tournament at Cecile Ticherfatine's and Timo Kamphues' table and quickly got involved in a pot against Kamphues.
Jattin bet 1,200 from the hijack on a flop of 9♥9♠5♠ and Kamphues raised to 4,000 in the big blind. Jattin reraised to 7,700 and Kamphues called.
The turn was the 7♥ and Kamphues led out for 4,000. Jattin then raised to 20,000 and Kamphues again called to see the J♦ river. Jattin then moved all in for 71,100.
Kamphues spent several minutes in the tank before calling as Jattin turned over 5♥5♣ for a flopped full house. Kamphues mucked 9♦8♥ as Jattin doubled up on one of his first hands of the tournament.
Victoria Livschitz also just took her seat at this table.
With around 14,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of [7d44d6c] Giuseppe Rosa checked and Daniel Kschammer fired 6,000. Rosa called.
A 9♣ fell on the turn where Rosa checked for a second time, and Kschammer bet 12,000. Rosa called again.
When the 3♥ completed the board, Rosa checked for a third time and Kschammer tanked for a while before he knuckled back.
Rosa tabled J♠J♣, and Kschammer tapped the table and mucked.
