Kevin Fluegel moved all in for 85,000 in early position and Edvin Muhovic called in the hijack, as did Urmo Velvelt on the button.
The flop came A♠6♠5♥ and Muhovic bet 110,000, chasing away Veltvelt and leaving him heads-up against Fluegel.
Kevin Fluegel: A♥6♥
Edvin Muhovic: A♣Q♥
Muhovic had flopped top pair, but Fluegel had two pair and the lead. The turn was the 4♣, while the 5♦ completed the board on the river and earned Fluegel a triple up.
Daniel Nagy moved all in for 65,000 in early position, Florian Kraft shoved for 175,000 in the hijack, while Rene Majed stuck in his last 100,000 in the cutoff. Stanislav Koleno, meanwhile, called under the gun to put all three opponents at risk.
Daniel Nagy: 5♥5♠
Rene Majed: A♦A♣
Florian Kraft: K♣J♣
Stanislav Koleno: A♠Q♣
Majed showed down two aces as the four players saw the flop come K♠3♠9♥. Kraft hit top pair, but Majed held on through the 2♦ turn and 6♠ river to secure the pot.
Nagy was eliminated, while Majed tripled up off Kraft and Koleno. Kraft, meanwhile, took the side pot off Koleno with his pair of kings.
Rene Majed opened to 20,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet jam from Mini Main Event winner Yuhan Wang in the small blind to 204,000. Majed got a count, and spent a fair bit of time in the tank, before making the call.
Yuhan Wang: A♠J♥
Rene Majed: A♥8♦
Wang had Majed crushed, and Majed was drawing dead by the turn on the 4♥3♣3♠J♣8♠ runout.
Darius Neagoe opened to 20,000 from the button, and Djamel Ouaret produced a three-bet to 305,000 from the small blind, leaving himself around 30,000 behind.
Neagoe thought things through for a bit, and four-bet jammed with the covering stack, receiving a snap-call from Ouaret.
Djamel Ouaret: A♠Q♣
Darius Neagoe: 8♥8♦
It was a fair fight, but the ace was in the window on the A♣K♥5♣ flop.
It was followed by the A♥ on the turn to give Ouaret trip aces, and it seemed almost certain a double-up was heading his way.
However in brutal fashion, Neagoe hit a two-outer on the river with the 8♣.
Ouaret sprang up out of his chair in disbelief, throwing his hands up in the air and cursing the poker gods in French, before taking a photo of the runout before he left.
In a blind versus blind confrontation, Denis Turay got in his last 100,000 and was up against Patrik Jaros.
Denis Turay: Q♥Q♦
Patrik Jaros: K♠K♣
Turay had run his queens into Jaros' kings, and the A♦8♥A♣2♥7♦ board offered no repreive for Turay as Jaros claimed his bounty.
"Bounty hunting," Georgios Tsouloftas said with a big smirk on the face while he was busy stacking a ton of chips over on table 101. On the turn of a 9♥5♥4♠J♠2♥ board, he had gotten it in against the only other large stack at the table with J♣9♠ and Marco Vella held K♥K♣ for the overpair.
The river bricked and the Cypriot soared to seven figures in the second level of the day.
Djamel Ouaret pushed all-in for 168,000 from an early position and it folded all the way to El Mostafa Bel Khayate who made the call with the covering stack.
Djamel Ouaret: J♠J♣
El Mostafa Bel Khayate: A♠Q♠
The 9♠4♥2♦10♦4♦ board kept the pocket pair ahead all the way for Ouaret to double.
Thomas Mbodj moved all in for 105,000 under the gun and Mario Scalia reshoved for 160,000 in the cutoff. Scott Reynolds in the big blind asked for a count and took a minute, but he eventually folded and left Mbodj and Scalia heads-up.
Thomas Mbodj: A♠Q♣
Mario Scalia: J♥J♣
It was a race situation, and Scalia's jacks held up on the K♣9♦5♥4♠7♦ board to send Mbodj to the rail.
