Ferdinando D'Alessio moved all in for 700,000 in the hijack and Daniel Pidun put him at risk under the gun.
Ferdinando D'Alessio: K♠J♦ 
Daniel Pidun: K♥Q♣
D'Alessio was dominated and the 3♣4♠9♥6♥5♣ board improved neither player, keeping Pidun in the lead with his queen-kicker and sending D'Alessio to the rail.
With the field reduced to the final 32 players and their table set to break, Daniele Sacchi got his shorter stack in from the small blind and was looked up by Gerald Karlic on the button.
Daniele Sacchi: Q♦J♦
Gerald Karlic: A♥10♣
The A♣9♥7♦5♠5♦ board left Sacchi drawing dead on the turn to bow out in 32nd place.
Lulei Hu raised to 110,000 under the gun and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer called in early position.
Hu bet 125,000 on the 10♥9♠3♥, and Gallitzendoerfer came back with a raise to 350,000. Hu called to see the 7♠ turn.
Gallitzendoerfer then bet 250,000 and Hu again called. The J♥ river was checked down, and Hu showed A♠10♦. Gallitzendoerfer, though, turned over Q♦J♠ for a rivered pair of jacks to win the pot.
Alberto Speranzoni raised to 100,000 in middle position and Josef Gulas three-bet to 275,000 on the button. Speranzoni then moved all in, and Gulas called for 475,000.
Josef Gulas: A♠5♠
Alberto Speranzoni: A♥K♣
Gulas was dominated and at risk as the flop came 9♣3♠4♣, giving him some outs with a straight draw. The Q♦ turn was no help, while the river was the J♣ and Gulas' dream of following his son as a WSOP Europe champion came to an end.
In a three-way single-raised pot, the J♠5♠5♦6♥ turn was checked by Ferdinando D'Alessio in the big blind and Jonas Lauck from under the gun while Claudio Di Giacomo also checked behind. The 4♦ on the river was checked to Di Giacomo and he then bet 400,000. Only Lauck called and mucked when he was shown the A♥J♥.
Vlastimil Pustina moved all in for 275,000 under the gun, Aliaksandr Shylko reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table folded.
Vlastimil Pustina: Q♥9♥
Aliaksandr Shylko: 6♠6♣
The flop came Q♦J♣8♦ to give Pustina the lead with a pair of queens, and Shylko couldn't catch up on the 2♦ turn or 5♠ river and Pustina doubled up.
Murilo Garcia then raised to 110,000 in early position, Max Neugebauer shoved for 540,000 in the big blind, and Garcia called.
Max Neugebauer: A♠8♠
Murilo Garcia: A♥7♥
Neugebauer hit a pair of eights on the K♠3♣8♦ flop, and the 3♥ turn left Garcia drawing dead. The river was the 4♦ and Neugebauer doubled up.
At another table, Cheng Zhao had moved all in for 450,000 on the button and Artem Kobylynskyi called under the gun.
Cheng Zhao: A♥J♦
Artem Kobylynskyi: 4♥4♠
Zhao hit a pair on the J♠5♦Q♠ flop to take the lead, and the rest of the board ran out 10♣8♠ as he also survived.
Murilo Garcia made it 105,000 from the cutoff and only Gerald Karlic called from the button.
Garcia started with a check on the K♦3♥2♥ flop and Karlic bet 85,000. Garcia check-raised to 185,000, and Karlic stuck around with a call.
The 6♥ came on the turn, and Garcia bet out for 210,000. Again, Karlic put in the call.
An A♥ to complete the board checked through and Garcia showed J♥10♦ for a rivered flush to take down the pot.
On a completed board of 10♠8♦7♦7♠Q♥ and with around 450,000 in the pot, Gerald Karlic bet 100,000 from the blinds and Catalin Pop called from under the gun.
Karlic showed a bluff with K♠2♠ and lost the pot to Pop's 9♠9♦ for a pair of nines.
Marco Di Persio raised to 100,000 under the gun and Lulei Hu called on the button with A♦J♦.
The flop came 9♣5♦7♠ and Di Persio bet 85,000. Hu called and the 4♦ fell on the turn.
Di Persio checked to Hu who bet 175,000, and Di Persio called. The 3♦ river gave Hu the nut flush, and he bet another 730,000. Di Persio folded top pair with J♥9♥.
Early into the second level of the day on the former feature table, Martin Kabrhel raised to 100,000. Vlad Andrusca pushed all-in out of the big blind for a stack below ten blinds and Kabrhel instantly put in a chip for the call to then roll over his A♦K♣ in the same motion.
Andrusca was behind with the K♠J♥ and Kabrhel was vividly rooting for a jack to hit.
However, the Q♣3♠3♥2♥2♦ board delivered no help to Andrusca and that spelled the end for him in 34th place for €31,000.
