Max Avela was all-in for a shorter stack with the A♣Q♥ and up against the J♣J♥ of Wojciech Barzantny. The 5♦3♦2♦8♦7♥ board contained four diamonds but neither player had any, spelling the end for Avela in the second level of the day.

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 21,000 in early position and Bastian Dohler called in the hijack. Nikolas Wicquart then moved all in for 114,000 on the button and Christian Schneider called for his last 98,000 in the small blind. Tsouloftas folded, but Dohler called to put both opponents at risk.
Christian Schneider: J♥J♠
Nikolas Wicquart: A♠Q♣
Bastian Dohler: A♣J♣
Wicquart found one of the last two aces on the A♥5♥2♦ flop to take the lead, while the rest of the board ran out 2♥K♣ and he scooped the pot with his queen-kicker. Schneider was sent to the rail, while Wicquart doubled up off Dohler.

Sorel Mizzi only had eight and a half big blinds behind and got those in from under the gun with the Q♣Q♦. Fellow short stack Aaron Duczak had him barely covered with the A♥4♥ in the big blind and hit a wheel on the A♦5♦3♥2♥8♣ runout.

Heads-up on a flop of Q♥4♠2♣, Patrick Fasching bet 20,000 from the hijack before Artem Kobylynskyi raised to 75,000 in the big blind. Fasching them reraised to 145,000.
Kobylynskyi came back with a reraise to 225,000, and Fasching tanked for a few minutes before finally giving up his hand.
At another table, Yannick Schumacher doubled up to more than 700,000 when his 7♠7♥ made a full house on a board of 7♣K♣2♠A♠K♥ against Alessandro Pichierri's K♦Q♣. Pichierri was left with just 2,000 after losing that pot and was eliminated shortly afterward.

Around 230,000 was in the middle as Cheng Zhao and Jozef Cibicek saw a flop of 6♠5♦2♠. Zhao then bet 60,000 from the big blind and Cibicek moved all in for 270,000 on the button. Zhao tanked for several minutes but eventually called to put Cibicek at risk.
Jozef Cibicek: 8♣8♥
Cheng Zhao: J♠J♦
"Wow, tough call," tablemate Johannes Frank told Zhao after he turned over his jacks. The A♠ turn left Cibicek with just one out going to the river, and he didn't find it on the 9♥ river as he was sent to the rail.
"Really difficult call," Frank repeated after the hand.

Three players went to the turn on a board of 10♥A♦J♣3♣ when Simon Wilson bet 52,000 in the cutoff. Oliver Boesch called on the button, as did Vlad Andrusca in the big blind.
The river was the K♣ and Andrusca led out for 190,000. Wilson then moved all in for 414,000, and Boesch took a minute before calling.
"What the f**k!" Andrusca shouted out, an outburst that drew several players from neighboring tables to gather around and watch the action.
Andrusca shot out of his seat, did the sign of the cross, and looked up to the heavens as he considered the decision. "F**k my life. At least I've got a story. The story of my life," he added before calling for 346,000.
Wilson showed A♣9♦ for just a pair of aces, Boesch had 10♣9♣ for a flush, but Andrusca turned over Q♣2♣ for a higher flush and let out a loud cheer as he ran out of the room. Wilson was eliminated, while Boesch handed over the massive pot to Andrusca...at least once he returned to the room.
