Action folded to Ben Heath in the small blind, who was looking down at 8♦5♣. He pushed his chips in the middle. Artur Martirosian called in the big blind with Q♠3♣ for his last 300,000 chips.

The flop ran out 8♥A♥4♣ to give Heath a pair of eights. The turn was the 2♥ to give Martirosian a straight draw along with his overcard.

By this point, Martirosian had stood up and was getting ready to leave. The river was the 5♥ to complete Martirosian's straight and he sat back down having doubled up to around six big blinds.

With his newfound big stack, Ben Heath jammed from the small blind. Adrian Mateos, who had 540,000 behind, used up a few time chips before calling for his tournament life.

Adrian Mateos: K♦3♣
Ben Heath: A♥9♣

The defending champion was behind the ace-high held by Heath and it was confirmed that a new player would take his crown as he failed to improve on the Q♣10♦2♠7♠J♠ runout.

Alex Kulev raised to 230,000 from the cutoff with A♠8♥ and Adrian Mateos called in the big blind with J♠7♠.

The flop came 7♦Q♣Q♦. Mateos jammed for 90,000 and Kulev called.

The turn came K♣ and the river fell the 3♦. Mateos held up with his pair of sevens and he doubled up.

Still, the reigning champion has just seven big blinds and will need to spin it up more to climb to the top spots.

Orpen Kisacikoglu, who had 925,000, opened to 450,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Mikita Badziakouski, who was in the small blind and three-bet to 2,050,000. The big blind got out of the way and Kisacikoglu called off the remainder of his stack.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♦Q♥
Mikita Badziakouski: A♠K♠

Kisacikoglu was dominated and drawing to three immediate outs. No help arrived on the J♠9♣7♣ flop, but the 8♠ turn gave the at-risk player a gutshot straight draw while Badziakouski picked up a flush draw. The 9♠ river completed Badziakouski's flush and confirmed Kisacikoglu's departure.

We come back from break and we are down to 5! Kisacikoglu finishes in 6th for €251,300!
