The flop came A♥K♦J♦ and Nazareno bet 40,000. Stenberg called and they checked on the 6♠ turn.

The next hand at this table, Volodymyr Kokoulin raised to 70,000 in middle position and Ali Kareloglu called in the big blind.
The flop came 2♦9♥5♥ and Kokoulin bet 175,000. Kareloglu used several time banks before moving all in for 220,000, and Kokoulin called.
Ali Kareloglu: K♦K♣8♣3♠
Volodymyr Kokoulin: A♠K♥J♠J♣
"Ace," Kokoulin pleaded as the 10♥ on the turn. He didn't catch an ace on the river, but he did hit the J♦ to make a set. "Okay, ace or jack," he added as Kareloglu was sent to the rail in 22nd place.

Veselin Karakitukov had his short stack of around 200,000 in preflop from the hijack and was put at risk by Javier Francort in the cutoff.
Veselin Karakitukov: Q♠Q♣6♦4♦
Javier Francort: A♠A♥A♦4♠
Karakitukov needed to catch up, and did find a few more outs on the 9♣3♥6♥ flop. However, the 2♥J♠ runout didn't offer any assistance, and he was out in 23rd.

Dusan Despotovic made it 50,000 from middle position and Antoine Delorme called from the big blind.
Delorme checked the 6♣2♠6♠ flop, and Despotovic bet 70,000. Delorme thought for a while, then check-raised to 250,000 with just 20,000 behind. Despotovic jammed, and after tanking to try and get the pay jump, Delorme called.
Antoine Delorme: A♠Q♣7♠5♣
Dusan Despotovic: Q♥Q♦J♠3♦
Despotovic had a pair of queens against the flush draw of Delorme. The 2♦ was safe for Despotovic, but the 8♠ river was not as Delorme improved to a flush and doubled up.

Krzysztof Magott opened the button to 50,000 and Tamazi Skhirtladze called from the small blind.
They went to a flop of 3♥10♥6♣ where Skhirtladze led for 140,00. Magott min-raised to 280,000, Skhirtladze shoved, and Magott used all of his time banks to try and make a pay jump before calling.
Krzysztof Magott: A♥J♥9♥7♣
Tamazi Skhirtladze: K♣6♥5♥4♣
Magott had a flush draw, straight draw, and live pair outs, but the 3♠10♦ runout didn't deliver anything he needed, which meant he was out in 24th.
"You made the pay jump at least," said one of the table. "See, there's 23 left,"
"Yeah, that's 23 left without me," replied Magott.

Quirin Zech raised to 75,000 in the cutoff, Sokratis Linaras three-bet to 230,000 in the small blind, and Zech called.
The flop came A♥K♥2♠ and Linaras moved all in for 430,000. Zech snap-called.
Sokratis Linaras: Q♠J♠J♣8♥
Quirin Zech: A♠K♦Q♥9♥

Michal Schuh raised off his short stack and Konstantin Razinkov moved forward 150,000 in chips. Martin Schamaun then potted to 550,000 and Schuh called all-in for 205,000. Razinkov went into a brief tank and then moved forward his entire stack, Schamaun snap-called.
Michal Schuh: J♥8♥8♠3♥
Konstantin Razinkov: Q♣Q♥10♣5♥
Martin Schamaun: A♠A♥K♠5♣
The 10♥8♦7♥ flop vaulted Schuh in the lead with a set of eights but it was short-lived, as Razinkov turned a flush when the 6♥ followed right after. Schuh asked for the board to pair but the K♣ river was a blank to eliminate the Czech. Razinkov doubled off Schamaun for 820,000 in one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.
