Gerald Karlic made it 500,000 to go with the Q♠Q♦ and Catalin Pop defended the suited J♦8♦ out of his big blind, both players check the 10♠10♣2♦ flop. The K♦ turn gave Pop a flush draw and he checked, Karlic checked back once again.
Neither player improved with the 3♠ river and Pop checked again, Karlic now bet 775,000 and his opponent flashed the missed flush draw before the players headed into the first 15-minute break.

Teemu Jaatinen in the cutoff raised to 2,200,000 for more than half of his stack with the K♣Q♣. Claudio Di Giacomo on the button let go of K♥Q♠ after using three time banks and carefully studying the stack of his table neighbour. Daniel Pidun folded the K♦8♦ and Murilo Garcia had no business with 6♠4♣ either.

Max Neugebauer raised to 525,000 in the hijack and Daniel Pidun called in the big blind.
"Round three. Do you think we'll make it to 12?" Neugebauer joked as they went to a flop of 10♠8♣4♣.
"I hope this is the last one," Pidun replied. Neugebauer then bet 450,000 and Pidun called.
Both players checked the J♣ turn, and Pidun led out for 650,000 on the 7♥ river. Neugebauer folded top pair holding Q♥10♥, and Pidun took the pot with 7♠5♥.

Pidun bet 350,000 on the K♦9♠7♦ flop and Neugebauer called. They then checked down the 8♠ turn and J♠ river, and Neugebauer showed K♥4♠ for top pair. Pidun mucked 7♣5♣.
"Somebody else needs to win this tournament. It's not good for poker," Catalin Pop said.
"It's good for me," Neugebauer replied.

Murilo Garcia raised to 525,000 from under the gun and Catalin Pop folded the 8♥8♣ thereafter. Matthias Gude then jammed in the cutoff for the last 2,875,000 after using one time bank and Garcia snap-called when it was his turn to act.
Matthias Gude: A♥Q♦ 
Murilo Garcia: K♦K♣
The K♥7♦2♣ flop left Gude on the ropes in need of running cards. It was all over on the 5♦ turn to make the 9♠ river a formality and Gude grabbed his lucky charm before bumping fists with everyone. His run in eighth place comes with a payday of €110,000.
