The clock was paused, and the players were supposed to go into their final 15-minute break of the day. However, before that, all players are bagging up their chips to move to another room, so the break will take a bit longer.
The pot stood at around 680,000 and the board was fully laid out with 5♣Q♠9♠7♦8♣. Jake Greenbaum in the big blind checked to Punnat Punsri, who bet 540,000. After going into a small tank, Greenbaum made the call, leading to a showdown.
Punsri tabled K♦J♦ for king high, while Greenbaum held Q♦4♠ for a pair of queens and took down the decent pot.
Andre Marques opened from the hijack to 50,000. Action folded to Martin Hellmuth in the small blind, who moved all in for 770,000 and Marques snap called, leading to a showdown.
Martin Hellmuth: 9♠9♣
Andre Marques: A♠K♠
Hellmuth was flipping for his tournament life, and the board ran out Q♦3♦2♣9♥A♥, giving him a set and a decent double-up.
The pot was around 560,000 with the flop showing 8♦4♥K♣. Mike Watson bet 25,000, as Abdelhakim Zoufri had just that amount left. Zoufri made the call, sending the cards on their backs.
Abdelhakim Zoufri: 9♦9♠
Mike Watson: A♥10♠
Zoufri was still ahead on the 8♠ turn, but the river brought the 10♥, giving Watson the better pair and sending Zoufri to the rail.
Christian Pedersen opened from the button to 50,000 and faced a three bet from Jeremie Zouari in the big blind to 190,000. After asking how much Zouari had behind, he made the call.
Both players checked the 4♦8♠2♥ flop and the Q♠ turn.
Zouari checked the 5♠ river once more and Pedersen bet 200,000, which Zouari called. Pedersen showed 4♣4♥ for a flopped set, and that was enough for Zouari to send his cards to the muck.
Punnat Punsri opened from the button to 50,000 and Leonor Margets in the big blind made the call.
Margets check called the 25,000 bet from Punsri on the J♥10♣10♠ flop.
The 9♥ turn and the 6♦ river were both checked through. Margets showed 9♣8♠ for two pair, which was enough to take down the pot as Punsri sent his cards to the muck.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic kicked things off in the cutoff with a raise to 40,000 and was met with a three bet to 120,000 from Michael Moncek on the button.
Kaladjurdjevic made the call to see a 3♠Q♥7♠ flop, where he check called Moncek’s 90,000 continuation bet.
Both players checked the 10♦ turn.
On the Q♠ river, Kaladjurdjevic took his time before announcing a bet, but Moncek folded before any chips even hit the middle, conceding the pot.
