Wooram Cho's cards had already hit the muck when PokerNews arrived at the table, but the last of his chips went in the middle on the river on a board that read 6♣Q♦K♠2♥7♥. Adrian Mateos played 6♠6♦ and his flopped set won him a huge pot of over 600,000 chips.
Mateos shot up on the leaderboard as he became one of the top stacks in the field.
Jovan Kenjic and Dario Sammartino had created a 90,000 pot when the turn was dealt on J♦9♥2♠5♥. Kenjic checked from the big blind and eventually called the subsequent 18,000 bet from Sammartino on the button.
The J♣ river then completed the board and Kenjic opted for another check. Sammartino put his opponent all in without much delay, causing visible despair in Kenjic. Eventually, he folded his cards, keeping his stack of 26,000 chips.
On Parker Talbot's request, Kenjic was allowed to pick one card of Sammartino's holding, after which the 6♣ was revealed. Laughter ensued on the table while Kenjic claimed to have "picked every wrong option so far" with a grimace on his face.
After a preflop raising war between Nicolas Vayssieres and Tamas Adamszki, an all-in situation was eventually reached where Vayssieres' stack of 229,000 was at risk.
Nicolas Vayssieres: A♠A♦
Tamas Adamszki: A♥K♠
The 4♠K♦6♦ flop brought some suspense, but further kings remained absent on the 3♣7♠ runout. The cooler saw Vayssieres' stack grow to over 160 big blinds, while Adamszki and start-of-day chipleader Selahaddin Bedir also maintain their positions among the top of the leaderboard.
Lewis Spencer and Natan Chauskin were heads up in a pot of 30,000 chips. With a flop of A♦J♠4♣ on the table, Spencer checked from middle position to Chauskin in the hijack. Chauskin made a bet of 18,500, which Spencer called.
Spencer then checked the subsequent 3♣ turn as well and Chauskin promptly jammed all in, covering Spencer's 55,000 remaining chips. Spencer swiftly folded, awarding the pot Chauskin.
