Cornea opened again in the next hand. Gicovanu called, but Miroslav Matula in the small blind three-bet to 850,000. Cornea quickly folded, while Gicovanu went into the tank. He eventually folded as well.

Antonello Ferraiuolo: 10♦10♠ All in
Marcin Kacprzak: Q♥Q♠

Ferraiuolo's tens were crushed by Kacprzak's queens, and the 9♣3♣5♣2♠8♠ board didn't contain any miracles as Ferraiuolo was sent to the rail.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Felix Kretschmann opened to 200,000, and Hueseyin Selcuk defended the big blind.

On the J♠4♥2♣ flop, Selcuk check-called versus a bet of 150,000 from Kretschmann.

The same pattern followed on the 9♠ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 410,000 from Kretschmann.

The A♠ hit on the river, and Selcuk checked once more. Kretschmann applied ultimate pressure by moving all in, asking for the rest of Selcuk's 1,775,000 stack.

Selcuk sighed and thought it through for a reasonable period of time, but ultimately folded to send Kretschmann another pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Felix Kretschmann	8,900,000 2,100,000	2,100,000

Marian Kubis moved all in for 135,000 in the cutoff and Petre Anghel called on the button. Antonello Ferraiuolo then reshoved in the small blind, and Anghel folded.

Marian Kubis: A♥8♣ All in
Antonello Ferraiuolo: A♠K♣

Kubis was dominated and at risk, but the 8♥7♣2♣ flop gave him top pair and the lead. The rest of the board came 5♦Q♥ and he tripled up.

The next hand at this table, Zakaria Nadmi shoved for 430,000 in middle position and David Hu called in the big blind.

Zakaria Nadmi: J♠7♠ All in
David Hu: A♥3♣

Hu hit top pair on the A♦Q♦2♣ flop to leave Nadmi drawing thin, and the 4♣ turn had him drawing dead going to the 10♣ river as he was sent to the rail.

Kai Cocklin

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Marcin Kacprzak opened from the hijack and David Hu three-bet the cutoff. Zakaria Nadmi cold-called from the big blind, and Kacprzak also called, creating a pot of around 1,700,000.

On the 4♥7♣2♦ flop, it checked to Hu, who continued for 425,000. Nadmi called, and Kacprzak got out of the way.

When the 4♦ dropped on the turn, Nadmi checked and was faced with a jam from Hu, who had around 900,000. Nadmi didn't think for too long before he called.

David Hu: Q♠Q♣ All in
Zakaria Nadmi: 10♦10♣

Nadmi had one shot at two outs with his pocket tens, but couldn't connect with the river as the K♦ rolled off, which gave Hu a huge double-up.

In the next hand, Nadmi shoved the small blind and got called by Marian Kubis in the big blind.

Zakaria Nadmi: Q♥10♦ All in
Marian Kubis: A♥5♣

Nadmi was up on his feet after the 3♥K♦3♣ flop was fanned, but the J♣A♣ runout gave him Broadway and a chance at a comeback.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rifat Palevic in middle position was all in and at risk for 1,215,000 against Lulei Hu in the cutoff.

Rifat Palevic: A♠A♦ All in
Lulei Hu: A♣Q♠

The dealer fanned a board of 6♣5♥6♠8♦7♦ so Palevic easily secured a double up.

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Felix Kretschmann raised to 160,000 in early position, Dorian Melchers moved all in for 1,000,000 in the big blind, and Kretschmann snap-called.

Dorian Melchers: Q♠10♠ All in
Felix Kretschmann: A♠K♠

Kretschmann had picked up another big hand and was poised to collect yet one more bustout as the 6♥5♠2♣J♥8♣ board offered no help to Melchers, sending him to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Ioan Taizs had shoved from the cutoff and Ducardo Ueberfeldt called in the big blind.

Ioan Taizs: K♥2♠ All in
Ducardo Ueberfeldt: 9♦9♣

The 8♠Q♥3♥4♥Q♦ board kept Ueberfeldt in the lead with his nines and secured him the pot. The stacks were counted down, and Ueberfeldt had Taizs' remaining 730,000 barely covered to earn the knockout.
