With about 9,000 in the middle, the flop read A♠9♠3♣, and both Roberto Forestiero and Eros Calderone checked to Joao Tomas on the button who fired 2,200. Only Eros called.
The Q♥ turn, and J♥ river received checks from both players and Calderone tabled A♦5♠ for top pair before Tomas mucked.
Guillermo Gordo raised from middle position, Davide Muccini three-bet jammed for approximately 19,000 from the cutoff and Gordo called.
Davide Muccini: A♥K♠
Guillermo Gordo: A♦10♦
The board ran out 2♥5♠K♣10♥4♣. Muccini's dominating hand remained that way to the river; his pair of kings beating Gorod's pair of tens, doubling him up.
Four players all putting in 2,000 went to the flop of 10♦J♠8♥ and Benjamin Spragg fired out a bet of 2,500 with only one caller from Anton Kotliar.
The turn card came 7♦ and both players checked.
The river brought A♠ and Spragg counted out a bet of 7,000 and pushed it forward. Kotliar, after a short time, open-folded his holding of A♣K♠, much to Spragg's surprise. He showed the 4♥ and won the pot. Spragg now has a massive stack going into Level 8.
Peter Tordai kicked off the action with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun. David Vinayagamoorthy then shipped in his stack of 22,600 from middle position and Alexander Norden called cold from the button.
Tordai counted his chips before piling his own stack of 52,500 in the middle. Norden thought about it for a bit, but decided he could not fold and stuck in the call.
David Vinayagamoorthy: 8♦8♣
Peter Tordai: A♠A♥
Alexander Norden: A♣Q♠
Norden flopped a queen on Q♣5♠6♠, and Vinayagamoorthy turned some extra outs on the 4♦ turn. However, the 2♥ river saw neither player improve further, meaning that the gigantic pot was shipped Tordai's way.
Vinayagamoorthy busted his second bullet of the tournament, while Norden was left with just four big blinds.
Giuliano Bendinelli shoved for 15,400 from the hijack and Mario Krastev called in the big blind.
Giuliano Bendinelli: A♣9♣
Mario Krastev: J♦10♦
Bendinelli was ahead with ace-high but the J♥10♠3♣ flop gave Krastev top two pair. The 4♥ turn meant Bendinelli hit the rail and the 6♦ river was just a formality.
Tiziano Di Romualdo raised to 2,300 from under the gun, Khashayar Moghaddam Maragheh three-bet to 6,500 from the button and Di Romualdo, didn't look pleased as he made the call.
The K♠A♣K♦ flop saw Di Romualdo check and Maragheh continued for 5,000. Di Romualdo thought for some time before tossing his cards to the muck. As Maragheh raked in the pot, he flashed the A♥.
Mohamed Aissaoui opened with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun and Gab Yong Kim made it 6,300 to go from the button. The action folded back to Aissaoui, who made the call.
He then checked the 5♥10♣5♦ flop, after which Kim put forth a bet of 4,300. Another call followed, and both players checked the subsequent 10♠ turn.
The 3♠ river completed the board and saw Aissaoui lead out for 14,000 chips. Kim put in a quick call and Aissaoui could only show A♣6♣ for the two pair on the board with an ace kicker.
Kim played a higher two pair with his Q♥Q♠, and his stack crossed the six-figure mark.
Three players brewed a pot of about 30,000 before the Q♦8♣5♦ flop, and Philip Skarstedt led for 7,000 before Nuno Duarte jammed his remaining stack of about 14,000. Alvaro Gomez shoved all in as well, forcing Skarstedt to muck his hand and both hands were tabled.
Nuno Duarte: J♥J♠
Alvaro Gomez: A♦J♦
Duarte was currently in the lead with his pocket jacks and the 4♣ turn didn't connect with Gomez's flush draw but the 8♦ landed on the river.
Five players went to a flop of 2♣5♠5♦ and the action checked around. The turn card came 10♦ and again everyone checked to see the river of 7♥. Simon Brandstrom then bet 5,000 and got three folds until Fintan Hand announced call.
Brandstrom showed A♥9♥ for ace-high and Hand flipped over K♥7♣ for the winner with a pair of sevens.
Petr Svoboda raised to 2,000 from the hijack, receiving calls from Nikolaos Iliakis, on the button, and Khazret Nebezhev, in the big blind.
The action checked to Svoboda, who continued for 2,000 on the 7♥7♦A♦ flop. Iliakis folded and Khazret Nebezhev called.
Nebezhev and Svoboda both checked to a showdown as the runout read 9♣ and 4♦. Nebezhev showed 5♦5♣; good enough to send Svoboda's cards into the muck.
