On the tail end of a 9♠4♠2♣9♦2♦ board, Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz bet 10,000 and Oemer Kaya called after some contemplation. Wyrzykiewicz tabled his J♠5♣ for a bluff and Kaya won the pot with the J♥4♥ to put another dagger into the stack of Wyrzykiewicz.
With around 4,000 in the pot on a 5♦8♣A♠ flop, Oemer Kaya checked from the small blind and Ridvan Sare made a small bet. Kaya then raised to 4,000, which Sare called.
Kaya bet 8,000 on the 10♠ turn, which Sare called after thinking for a while. When the 10♦ paired the board on the river, Kaya checked it over. Sare then thought for a while before he bet 8,000, and Kaya snap-folded.
Just one hand after doubling up off Fausto Tantillo, El Mostata Bel Khayate got involved again when he opened to 1,500 in middle position. Alexander Zubov three-bet to 5,000 in the hijack, and Bel Khayate called.
The flop came A♥7♥7♣ and Bel Khayate led out for 3,000. Zubov called and the Q♠ fell on the turn.
Bel Khayate then bet 19,000 and Zubov again called. The river was the K♣ and Bel Khayate bet 80,000, leaving himself 4,200 behind. Zubov then moved all in, and Bel Khayate called off his last chips.
He showed 7♦4♦ for trips, but Zubov had flopped a full house with A♠A♦ to send Bel Khayate to the rail.
Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz made it 1,400 from middle position before Oliver Boesch three-bet to 5,400 from the hijack. Wyrzykiewicz called when the action got back to him.
Wyrzykiewicz check-called a bet of 4,000 by Boesch on the 2♥Q♦7♣ flop.
The 2♦ rolled off on the turn and Wyrzykiewicz check-called another bet from Boesch, this time for 8,000.
The two players checked the 9♥ river and Wyrzykiewicz tabled 5♣5♠ for a pair of fives. Boesch turned over 10♠10♦ for a higher pair and the pot was sent to him.
Lukas Pazma tangled with Artem Kobylynskyi and check-called a bet worth 2,800 on the Q♠6♦5♦ fdlop before checking the 7♥ on the turn. Kobylynskyi now bet 8,200 and that won the pot.
At the same time one table over, Mikolaj Zawadzki check-raised Viet Vo on the 9♥9♣5♦4♣ turn and bet the 2♦ river from under the gun. Vo gave it some thought and folded.
Back to the same table, new entrant Hans Bosman made it 1,200 to go for Pierre Huter and Shashank Jain to call. They headed to the 10♠7♠7♣ flop on which Jain checked. Bosman bet 1,500 and Huter was the only caller. No further action came on the A♣ turn and 4♣ river, awarding the pot to Bosman with the A♠2♠.
Fausto Tantillo raised to 1,500 under the gun and picked up calls from El Mostafa Bel Khayate in the hijack and Alexander Zubov in the cutoff.
The flop came Q♦J♠6♥ and Tantillo bet 4,000. Only Bel Khayate called.
The 6♦ fell on the turn and Tantillo bet another 11,200. Bel Khayate again called to the 7♥ river, where Tantillo moved all in.
Bel Khayate called for his last 37,400 and Tantillo showed A♦K♦ for missed straight and flush draws. Bel Khayate had 6♠5♠ for trips to win the pot and double up.
Rene Baranek was under the gun and down to less than 9,000 chips, which were all in the middle preflop in a hand against Artem Kobylynskyi in the hijack.
Rene Baranek: A♦J♣
Artem Kobylynskyi: 4♥4♦
Baranek was flipping for his tournament life, and the 8♥2♣Q♥ flop meant he was two cards from the rail. However, he did find salvation on the J♥ turn as he made a pair.
Kobylynskyi needed a four or a heart to earn the knockout, and a four is what he got as the 4♠ hit the river, giving him a set and sending Baranek to the rail.
With 20,000 in the middle on a completed board of Q♦3♦7♥6♦8♦, Tomas Zeleny checked from middle position and faced a bet of 8,500 from Michal Szczeblewski in the hijack. After giving it some deliberation, Zeleny opted to call.
Szczeblewski turned over ace-high with AxKx and lost the pot to Zeleny's Q♣9♣ for a pair of queens.
Luigi Curcio bet 2,800 from under the gun on a flop of K♣J♣2♥ and Andrea Radicchi called in the small blind.
The turn was the 3♦ and Curcio bet 5,700. Radicchi again called and the A♣ fell on the river. Curcio then bet 16,500, but this time Radicchi came back with an all-in shove.
Curcio had around 75,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes before folding.
At another table, Artem Kobylynskyi had raised to 5,800 on the button and Rene Baranek reraised to 13,900 in middle position. Kobylynskyi then made it 23,000, Baranek moved all in, and Kobylynskyi called for 68,500.
Artem Kobylynskyi: K♦K♠
Rene Baranek: A♠A♥
Kobylynskyi had run his kings into Baranek's aces, but he found a set on the K♣9♠4♦ flop to take the lead. The board ran out 4♠2♣ and Kobylynskyi doubled up, leaving Baranek on a short stack.
Rene Knapp and Vito Branciforte had entered towards the end of the last level while Fausto Tantillo and Jeannette Mendez joined the fray very recently. The field is now up to 57 entries with 51 players left.
