On the tail end of the A♥4♠2♥K♣6♥ board, Yishay Bechor checked out of the small blind and Pascal Pflock bet 148,000 in late position. Bechor reluctantly called and was shown the J♦10♦ for a bluff, which he had beat with the J♣J♠ much to the delight of his brother Yehonatan Behor one table over.
Vytautas Litvinas moved all in for 150,000 in the small blind and Roland Haddad called in the big blind.
Vytautas Litvinas: A♣Q♣
Roland Haddad: A♥8♥
Litvinas had Haddad dominated, but the K♦K♣8♣ flop gave Haddad two pair and the lead. The rest of the board came 2♦5♦ and Litvinas was sent to the rail.
Inaki Gonzales moved all in for 158,000 under the gun and Charlie Chiu called in middle position.
Inaki Gonzales: K♥Q♣
Charlie Chiu: 7♠7♥
Gonzales and Chiu were racing as the flop came 9♦10♠6♥, giving Gonzales a straight draw to go with his overcards. The 2♦ turn was no help, while the river came the A♥ and Chiu scored the knockout.
Nico De Cleen moved all-in for 228,000 from the hijack. Adrien Sanz on the button went into the tank and raised all-in with a slightly bigger stack. Both players in the blinds quickly folded.
Nico De Cleen: A♦10♣
Adrien Sanz: 9♦9♥
De Cleen flopped top pair on 3♦2♠A♥J♠4♠ to secure a double up. Down to 31,000, Sanz was eliminated a few hands later.
Natanel Elidan raised to 32,000 in middle position and Cosmin Nica three-bet to 85,000 in the hijack. Liviu Nedelea then moved all in for 279,000 in the cutoff and Elidan folded, but Nica snap-called.
Liviu Nedelea: K♠K♦
Cosmin Nica: A♠A♦
Nedelea had run his kings into Nica's aces, but the K♣Q♠3♥ flop gave him top set and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 8♥2♠ and Nedelea doubled up.
At another table, Jochen Mack was all in for 324,000 from the button and up against Radu Iuhas in the big blind.
Jochen Mack: A♣Q♦
Radu Iuhas: Q♣Q♠
Mack was looking for an ace to stay alive as the board came 10♠J♠8♣4♠, leaving him a card away from elimination, but he caught the A♥ on the river to double up.
Dimitrios Anastasakis came in with a min-raise to 32,000 from under the gun and Jochen Mack called out of the big blind.
Both players checked a flop of Q♣10♥K♥ to see the 7♦ land on the turn. Mack checked once more, while Anastasakis bet 32,000. Mack paused, and then check-raised to 85,000. Anastasakis called to see a river.
Two more checks came on the 3♥ river and Mack turned over 6♠6♣ for a pair of sixes. This was second best to the K♣Q♦ of Anastasakis for top two pair.
Heads-up to the turn on a board of 3♠3♣7♠Q♥ that saw Florin Bilan check out of the big blind, and face a bet of 55,000 by Robert Bunn, who was seated in the cutoff. Bilan opted to call.
A K♦ completed the board and both players checked. Bilan revealed a busted flush draw with 9♠6♠ and lost the pot to Bunn's 9♣7♣ for a pair of sevens.
