74 players were sent on their first 15-minute break.
Atanas Malinov opened to 1,200 from middle position and was called by Quan Zhou in the hijack and Andre Marques in the cutoff.
The flop came J♣Q♥9♣, and after Malinov checked, Zhou bet 1,500. Marques folded, while Malinov made the call to see the turn.
The Q♣ paired the board, and Malinov checked again. Zhou moved all in for his remaining 3,600, and Malinov called.
Malinov showed A♠J♥ for two pair, queens and jacks, but Zhou had K♣K♠ for the better two pair. The 9♦ on the river changed nothing, and Zhou secured the double-up.
The flop came 3♦3♣4♠ with about 3,900 in the pot. Ohad Geiger, in the big blind, checked to Hugo Machado in the hijack, who bet 1,000. Geiger raised to 5,000, and Machado called to see the 6♦ turn.
Geiger kept the pressure on, betting 10,000, and Machado called again.
The Q♠ hit on the river, and Geiger didn’t slow down, putting out a bet of 25,000. Machado thought it over, using two time bank cards before folding.
The pot was around 47,000 when both players checked the turn on the 6♦K♠Q♦6♥ board.
The 10♣ hit the river, and Moonho Seo in the hijack fired a bet of 55,000. Xiaohu Liu took his time before calling, only to see Seo table K♥K♦ for a full house. Liu, clearly surprised, shook his head and mucked his cards.
Gilles Simon had 7,000 in front of him in the cutoff when Neville Costa, in the big blind, raised to 17,500. Simon called and saw the flop come 7♠6♦8♦.
Costa continued with a bet of 7,000, and Simon called again.
The 9♦ hit on the turn, and Costa kept up the pressure with a 9,000 bet. That was enough for Simon to let his hand go, giving the pot to Costa.

The board read 8♣4♥3♥8♥ with the pot around 33,000. Gabriel Nobrega, first to act in the big blind, checked to Renat Bohdanov in the cutoff, who bet 22,000. Nobrega called and saw the J♣ land on the river.
Nobrega checked again, and Bohdanov shoved for 56,500. Nobrega took three time bank cards before calling, revealing 10♥10♦ for a pair of tens. Bohdanov showed K♥10♣ for just king high, giving Nobrega the sizeable pot.
The pot was around 3,000 when the flop came 6♥10♥4♣. Aleksandr Shevliakov in the small blind checked to Atanas Malinov in middle position, who bet 1,300. Shevliakov called.
The 9♠ hit on the turn, Shevliakov checked again, and Malinov fired 6,500. Shevliakov raised to 25,000, and after some thought, Malinov made the call.
The 5♠ landed on the river, but neither player took any more action. Shevliakov showed 9♦8♥ for a pair of nines, while Malinov revealed A♠10♦ for a pair of tens, taking the pot.
Meanwhile, on another table, Stefan Peukert was eliminated by Thomas De Rooij but jumped back in immediately.
