Ran Ilani raised to 160,000 with the K♠10♠ from the hijack and was called by Alberto Speranzoni on the button with the 7♦7♣. The J♥5♦2♠ flop brought a continuation-bet of 150,000 by Ilani, and Speranzoni came along to the 9♥ on the turn. Ilani bet 300,000 for a third of his remaining stack, and Speranzoni folded.

Neugebauer checked the J♥9♣4♣ flop and Pidun bet 450,000. Neugeubauer folded and Pidun allowed him to choose one of his cards. Neugebauer turned over the 9♠.
Robert Ashelm then raised to 175,000 in the hijack and was called by Neugebauer on the button, Pidun in the small blind, and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer in the big blind.

Pidun checked the 4♦ river, and Neugebauer bet 1,300,000. Pidun quickly folded.
Artem Kobylynskyi jammed the button into the two short stacks behind, and Dimitrios Gkatzas called all in for the last 245,000 in the big blind.
Dimitrios Gkatzas: Q♥4♣
Artem Kobylynskyi: 8♥7♠
The queen-high stayed ahead all the way on the K♣2♥2♠6♠3♥ board for the Greek to double.
Two hands later, Kobylynskyi opened to 160,000. Gkatzas pushed all in for 570,000 on the button. The initial raiser asked for an exact count and folded.
"Martin is coming," a tournament official told the players at this table as a player from the feature table was being moved here to take the spot of the departed Aliaksandr Shylko.
"No," Max Neugebauer said, and it was actually Gerald Karlic who arrived.
"What a cruel joke," Catalin Pop added.
Daniel Pidun then raised to 210,000 in the small blind and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer called in the big blind.
The flop came J♦5♠2♦ and Pidun continued for 185,000. Gallitzendoerfer then raised to 500,000, and Pidun folded.
Claudio Di Giacomo came in with a raise to 160,000 from the cutoff with Matthias Gude calling from the small blind and Artem Kobylynskyi defending his big blind.
Everyone checked the 9♥9♣6♦ flop to see the 10♠ fall on the turn. Gude bet 190,000 and was met by a raise to 425,000 from Kobylynskyi. Di Giacomo folded, but Gude stuck around with a call.
Both players checked the Q♥ river and Gude's K♦Q♣ for a pair of queens on the river took down the pot.
Jonas Lauck raised to 160,000 from under the gun and Claudio Di Giacomo defended the big blind, then check-folded the 7♥6♦6♣ flop to a bet.
Di Giacomo raised to 240,000 from the small blind next and Lauck folded.
Dimitrios Gkatzas burned through a time bank and folded off his short stack. Di Giacomo opened the button to 160,000 and Lauck three-bet to 500,000 on the button. Everyone including Di Giacomo folded and Lauck flashed the A♥A♣.
