Sam Grafton was all in for his last 21,000 and was called by Adrian Mateos in middle position and Kayhan Mokri in the hijack.
Both Mokri and Mateos checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of 4♠3♦4♣J♠K♥. Mateos checked, Mokri bet 25,000 and Mateos folded.
Grafton had Q♠Q♣ but Mokri revealed K♣8♣ for a rivered top pair to score the knockout and take down a decent pot.
Leon Sturm opened to 6,000 from the button and Adrian Mateos defended from the big blind.
The flop came K♦4♠2♦ and Mateos check-called a 4,000 continuation bet from Sturm.
Both players checked the 3♣ turn leading to the 7♦ river. Mateos bet 5,500 and Sturm opted to fold.
The very next hand, Francisco Benitez opened to 5,500 from the button and Mateos three-bet to 23,000 from the small blind. Benitez made the call.
The flop came 6♦5♥4♠. Mateos bet 30,000 and Benitez called.
Mateos fired again on the 7♦ turn, this time for 63,000, which was enough to force a fold from Benitez.
Aleksejs Ponakovs and Juan Pardo had put 49,000 chips in the middle when they saw a flop of 5♥8♥J♠. Ponakovs bet out for 19,000 from the small blind and Pardo called from the cutoff.
Ponakovs spent a few time banks before putting in another 65,000 chips on the 8♠ turn and Pardo once again made the call. The 10♦ river then completed the board and Ponakovs used the rest of his time bank extensions before moving all in for 130,000, receiving an instant call from his opponent.
Ponakovs sighed as he could only table K♠Q♠ for a bluff, while Pardo rivered a straight with 9♣7♣ and sent his opponent out of the tournament room again.
With two players seeing a board of 5♣J♠3♠4♥, Sam Greenwood found himself all in and at risk against Joao Vieira, who slightly covered Greenwood.
Sam Greenwood: 5♥5♠
Joao Vieira: 6♦7♥
Greenwood had flopped a set only for Vieira to turn the nut-straight. The board failed to pair on the 6♣ river resulting in Greenwood's second elimination of the day, while Vieira picked up nearly a full double up.
Multiple raises went in preflop between Sam Grafton on the cutoff and Leon Sturm on the button, resulting in a pot of 95,000 chips sitting in the middle of the table when the 2♣5♠3♣ flop was dealt.
Grafton then bet out 24,000 and Sturm made the call. Grafton upped the ante to 65,000 on the 9♦ turn and Sturm still called. The 10♦ river then completed the board and Grafton spent some time in the tank before going all in, covering Sturm by a little bit. Sturm snap-called for his 87,000 stack and saw Grafton table K♠6♠ for a stone-cold bluff.
Sturm was sitting comfortably on top set with 10♠10♥ and he raked in the double-up while Grafton was left with just a few big blinds.
Jules Dickerson opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and Ognyan Dimov called in the small blind.
The flop came K♥K♠8♥ and Dimov check-called a 4,000 continuation bet from Dickerson.
Action repeated itself on the 5♦ turn with Dimov check-calling another bet, this time for 17,000.
Both players checked the 10♠ river. Dimov tabled 6♥5♥ for two pair, kings and sixes and Dickerson's hand hit the muck.
Jules Dickerson, Mikita Badziakouski, and Gha Iakobishvili were three-ways to a flop of 8♣7♠3♥. With 18,500 in the middle, Dickerson, from the big blind, checked to Badziakouski under the gun, who made a bet of 12,000. Iakobishvili called from the button while Dickerson got out of the way.
The 6♥ turn followed and Badziakouski made a small increase to his bet, putting out 13,000 chips this time. Another call followed from Iakobishvili before Badziakouski checked the 5♦ turn and quickly faced a bet of 35,000 from Iakobishvili.
"That's not a good river," Badziakouski lamented. He thought it over for a bit but ended up letting his hand go, causing Iakobishvili to show the 7♣ to the table.
Francisco Benitez opened to 5,500 from the hijack and Kayhan Mokri called from the button.
The flop came K♠Q♥6♥ and Benitez check-called a 6,000 bet from Mokri.
Both players checked the A♥ turn leading to the Q♣ river. Benitez bet 8,500 and Mokri called.
Benitez showed down K♥10♥ for a flush to take the pot.
