Fernando Banda made it 475,000 from the button, leaving himself 40,000 behind. Marcin Kacprzak then shoved the big blind, and after around three minutes, Banda called off his stack.
Fernando Banda: 4♥4♦
Marcin Kacprzak: A♦5♦
Banda hadn't noticed, but had made the pay jump as he saw the A♣K♣3♠ flop hit the felt, which looked to be the end for him. However, he celebrated with a fist pump when the 4♣ on the turn gave him a set.
The hand wasn't over as Kacprzak couldn still hit a wheel, but that didn't happen as the 9♦ rolled in, earning Banda a double-up.
Alexey Mishuk opened to 100,000 from middle position, and called a three-bet jam from Rabea Nweisri for 280,000.
Rabea Nweisri: A♦A♠
Alexey Mishuk: Q♥Q♠
Nweisri had the goods, and Mishuk could not find a two-outer on the 9♥7♠3♥J♠9♣ runout.
Dorian Melchers announced a raise to 570,000 from under the gun and Alexander Dick shoved the button. When it got back to Melchers, he called off his remaining 25,000.
Dorian Melchers: 5♠5♦
Alexander Dick: A♥K♣
Melchers needed to win a flip, and his pocket fives did just that as they made a set on the 8♠4♠J♥3♠5♥ runout to double up.
Felix Kretschmann raised to 100,000 in early position and Yakiv Syzghanov three-bet to 250,000 in middle position. The table folded back to Kretschmann who moved all in, and Syzghanov snap-called for 800,000.
Yakiv Syzghanov: J♠J♥
Felix Kretschmann: K♣K♠
Kretschmann had Syzghanov crushed with his kings and hit a set once again as the flop came K♦5♣7♣. The rest of the board ran out 10♦2♥ and Syzghanov was sent to the rail.
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, in a three-way all-in scenario.
Mateusz Kaniowski was all-in for 260,000, as was Frederic Delval for 830,000, and Cristobal Ochoa had both players covered.
Mateusz Kaniowski: 3♠3♥
Frederic Delval: A♦J♥
Cristobal Ochoa: K♦K♠
Ochoa looked in great shape to secure a double knockout, but Delval found on ace on the turn on the Q♦9♦2♥A♣5♥ runout to secure more than a double-up, and knock out Kaniowski.
David Hu opened to 255,000 from middle position. Georges Chehade, to his left, went into the tank and made the call, but Rifat Palevic in the small blind raised all in for roughly 1,600,000.
Hu waited as long as he could to reach the next pay jump. Another player was eliminated when the clock was called, and Hu called with his last 5,000 chip. Then it was Chehade's turn to act, and after a few seconds, the clock was called once again. He eventually chose to call off his last 280,000.
David Hu: A♣5♣
Georges Chehade: A♥10♠
Rifat Palevic: A♠K♠
Palevic kept the lead on the 2♦J♦J♥ flop and the Q♠ river, but the 5♥ river gave two pair to Hu, who tripled up, while Chehade was eliminated by Palevic in the side pot.
Martin Berger moved all in for 325,000 in middle position and Petre Anghel called in the cutoff.
Martin Berger: A♠10♠
Petre Anghel: Q♥Q♦
Berger needed to improve against Anghel's queens, but the K♥3♣4♣5♦5♠ board offered no help and he was sent to the rail.
Level: 27
Blinds: 25,000/50,000
Ante: 50,000
Manig Loeser opened from middle position to 80,000 and Lulei Hu called in the hijack. Abedel Douair was in the big blind and ripped around 650,000, which got Loeser to fold. Hu snap-called.
Abedel Douair: 6♠6♣
Lulei Hu: K♥K♣
Douair had fallen right into Hu's trap, and couldn't find a way out as the J♠A♥J♥Q♠A♦ runout wasn't enough to save him.
