Manig Loeser limped in from the small blind and David Hu checked his option.
The flop came 7♣5♠3♣ and Loeser bet 160,000. Hu called and they both checked the A♣ turn.
Loeser then led out for 455,000 on the 8♠ river and Hu called. Loeser showed 10♥8♣ for a rivered pair, and Hu mucked J♥7♠.
Jose Gomez Casillas has been adding chunks to his stack over the past orbit as he as taken down multiple pots uncontested. Most recently, Josef Obermeier opened the button to 400,000 and Casillas shoved the big blind. Obermeier folded.
Alexandru Izuric also got a shove through, but just went through the blinds and has around 1,100,00 in his stack.
Action folded to Jose Gomez who shoved from the small blind, and Gabriel Rymar snap-called for 2,000,000 in the big blind.
Gabriel Rymar: Q♠10♦ 
Jose Gomez: 8♥4♠
The K♥8♦2♦ flop gave Gomez the lead with a pair of eights, while the turn came the 7♠. The 4♥ river improved him to two pair, and Rymar was sent to the rail in 16th place.
"If I limp, I call him," Gomez said.
"Gamble, gamble," his supporters yelled out from the rail.
"Big flip," Gomez shouted back.
The remaining 16 players are back in their seats, and action is underway.

Marcin Kacprzak: Q♥10♥
David Hu: K♥8♠

Hueseyin Selcuk moved all in for 495,000 under the gun, Lulei Hu reraised to 900,000 in the cutoff, and the rest of the table folded.

The remaining 16 players are drawing for seats at the final two tables.
Felix Kretschmann opened to 325,000 from the cutoff and Manig Loeser called in the small blind. Josef Obermeier also called from the big blind.
The three saw a flop of Q♠J♣A♦, where it checked to Kretschmann, who bet 310,000. Loeser called and Obermeier folded, bringing around the 3♥ turn. Again Loeser checked, then Kretschmann bet 1,525,000. Loeser took some time and called.
A K♣ completed the runout and Loeser used a time bank before he bet 435,000, a small amount in relation to the pot. Kretschmann then counted out a raise to 2,350,000 and stuck it in the pot, which got a quick fold from Loeser.
