While the rest of the field went on break, Maroun Jazzar and Can Miral were heads up on a flop of 10♦2♠5♦. Jazzar bet out 5,000 from the small blind and Miral called from the big blind.
The A♣ then saw Jazzar go all in, covering Miral's 32,000 remaining chips. However, Miral quickly folded and the two could join the rest of the field on their first break of the day.

[Removed:548] raised to 3,000 from the hijack before Anton Wigg called from the small blind. Alejandro Lococo also came along from the big blind and the three saw a flop of 6♦6♠5♠, which checked around.
The turn of 10♣ then saw the action checked to [Removed:549] again, but this time he made a bet of 6,500. Wigg responded with a raise to 25,500 and Lococo quickly got out of the way. On the 2♣ river, Wigg slowed down with a check, and subsequently folded to [Removed:549]'s 41,000 bet.
During the hand, Adrian Mateos sat down at the table as well, having chipped up a bit from the start of play.
Vasileios Panagiotidis bought in on Day 2 of the Main Event and has had a fruitful start to the day.
Beginning the hand with 93,000, he opened to 3,500 from under the gun. Mohammad Awamleh three-bet to 10,000 from the small blind before Erdal Gulseven reraised to 22,000 from the big blind. Panagiotidis then shoved, Awamleh committed his 47,000 stack and Gulseven went into the tank before calling as the covering stack.
Mohammad Awamleh: Q♣Q♥
Vasileios Panagiotidis: K♥K♠
Erdal Gulseven: A♠K♦
Three premium hands were tabled, and Panagiotidis had the best of it. There was no drama on the J♠10♦3♠ flop and the 9♥ turn and 6♥ river ensured he dragged in the massive pot.
Three-handed on a board of 10♣8♥5♦3♦, Nicolas Lecoeuvre bet 7,000 from the small blind and was called by Oliver White in the big blind, as well as Gerard Carbo on the button.
The river came the 9♣ and Lecoeuvre checked over to White who bet 9,000. Carbo got out of the way, but Lecoeuvre snap-called and tabled K♣K♠.
White's cards quickly hit the muck and Lecoevure took down the pot.
"The trap," he yelled out as he stacked up his new chips.
Dumitru Pora opened from the cutoff for an unknown amount before Gha Iakobishvili jammed in his 28,000 stack from the big blind. Pora made a swift call and the cards went on their backs.
Gha Iakobishvili: K♠Q♦
Dumitru Pora: A♦J♣
Both players would flop a pair and a gutshot on J♦Q♠10♠, but Iakobishvili was in the lead. The 4♠ turn did nothing for either player, but the A♥ river made Iakobishvili his straight, doubling him up.
Metin Yalciner opened to 3,000 from early position and was called by Seyedali Hosseinirami in the cutoff and Tom Fuchs in the big blind.
All three players checked after seeing the 2♦4♥7♠ flop, with Fuchs tapping the table again after the 6♠ turn.
Yalciner took a moment before sliding out a bet of 9,000 chips, producing folds from Hosseinirami and Fuchs to take down the pot.
Heads-up on a board of 4♣3♦5♥6♥, Pascal Baumgartner led out for 12,000 from the big blind and Stanislav Tishkevich called in the hijack.
The river came the Q♥ and Baumgartner bet another 17,500.
"Do you have a flush," Tishkevich asked.
"I have two cards," Baumgartner replied.
"I hope we split," Tishkevich added as he called.
"You win. I only have a three," Baumgartner said, showing K♠3♠. Tishkevich turned over 7♦6♦ for a flopped straight to win the pot.
"I didn't think you had the straight," Baumgartner told Tishkevich after the hand.
"I had the straight on the flop. It just kept getting worse and worse," Tishkevich replied.
"I was trying to represent what you had," Baumgartner concluded.
Tishkevich is sitting beside Andrei Vavilonskii as the two enjoy a bit of a reunion after they both went deep in the Eureka Main Event earlier this week.
Adi Rajkovic opened to 3,500 from early position and EPT Barca Main Event champ Simon Wiciak called from the big blind.
Wiciak check-called for 1,500 on the J♠Q♠J♦ flop but snap-folded to a bet of 16,500 on the 9♥ turn.
Wiciak then folded his next two hands from the small blind and the button.
Wojciech Stefanski moved all in for 23,000 from early position and Wiciak called from the cutoff. Grzegorz Kozieja rejammed for 80,000 from the big blind and after some thought, Wiciak folded.
Stefanski had A♣K♠ while Kozieja had 10♠10♣. The 9♦2♥2♣7♣5♦ runout confirmed Stefanski's elimination. After the hand, Wiciak said he had AxQx.
Wiciak then folded his next three hands. While the Frenchman took a small hit during the orbit, he still has plenty of chips in front of him and has just under 100 big blinds.
