Heads-up on a flop of 5♣7♠5♥, Gal Naim in middle position bet 300,000 and Patrick White on the button called.
Naim fired a second barrel of 450,000 on the A♥ turn, then White raised to 1,450,000. Naim went deep into the tank, but eventually managed to fold Q♥Q♣ face up.
"You're lucky I don't have the ace," he said, while White was revealing the A♦.
Patrik Jaros raised to 240,000 and Lasse Frost called. One seat over, Jakub Sterba three-bet jammed his last 880,000 and it folded back to Jaros who folded. Frost asked for an exact count and called half a minute later.
Jakub Sterba: A♣K♦ 
Lasse Frost: 7♦7♣
Sterba took the lead with the 10♠9♣3♣K♣ turn and the 8♣ river further improved him to the superior flush for the double.
Level: 27
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
Rene Majed raised to 200,000 under the gun, Eusebiu Jalba three-bet to 500,000 in early position, and Majed called.
Both players checked the A♥K♦9♠ flop. Jalba then bet 375,000 on the 10♦ turn and Majed called.
The 2♦ river was checked down and Majed showed K♥9♥ for two pair to win the pot.
Patrick White opened from middle position before Russell Cooper jammed for roughly 600,000 from the blinds. White called and the cards were turned over.
Russell Cooper :A♥K♥
Patrick White: 5♠5♣
Cooper was in a race of his tournament life with big slick versus the small pocket pair of White. Cooper found no assistance on the 10♣4♦7♦7♣2♠ runout, and he wished the table good luck as he headed to the rail.
Cristobal Ochoa was spotted on his way out of the tournament area, and the pot was pushed to Stanislav Koleno. According to current table and tournament chip leader Rene Majed, Ochoa was all-in with Ax4x against the 10♥10♠ of Koleno and found no help on the J♠J♣7♣J♥8♦ runout to become the latest casualty.
In a blind versus blind battle, Hicham Aouraghe bet 150,000 on a flop of Q♥6♥5♦ before Pedro Schulz raised to 450,000. Aouraghe then moved all in, and Schulz snap-called for 1,250,000.
Pedro Schulz: Q♣5♠
Hicham Aouraghe: 4♥3♥
Schulz had flopped two pair, while Aouraghe had flush and straight draws. The 7♠ turn gave him a straight, while the 8♥ fell on the river to also give him a flush as Schulz was sent to the rail.
"Thank you. I give you a gift later," Aouraghe said to the dealer after the hand.
Having just doubled up in the previous hand and while still stacking up his newly acquired chips, Asish Ghosh made it 225,000 from middle position. The action folded all the way to Besnik Aruqi in the big blind, and he three-bet to 610,000. Ghosh immediately jammed for around 3,000,000, and Aruqi snapped him off.
Asish Ghosh: 10♣10♠
Besnik Aruqi: A♠A♣
Ghosh had jammed right into Aruqi's aces and looked likely to be headed to the exit, unless he could find a ten on the runout.
A 7♣8♠3♥ flop provided no help to Ghosh, and neither did the 4♦ turn. A 6♦ completed the board, and all of Ghosh's stack was absorbed into Aruqi's.
Gal Naim opened from middle position, Roman Isaienko in the big blind three-bet all in for 575,000, and Naim called.
Roman Isaienko: A♥K♥
Gal Naim: 8♦8♥
Isaienko flopped aces-up on 10♣10♥A♠9♠4♣ to secure a double.
