Efstathios Kavoukis was already all in for a bit over 30,000 on a Q♣3♠5♠ flop against Takumi Odani, who had Kavoukis covered and at risk.
Efstathios Kavoukis: 10♠8♠
Takumi Odani: K♦Q♠
Odani held the lead with top pair, and the 2♣ turn and 7♣ river bricked out for Kavoukis — sending him to the rail.
"Six players" announced the dealer when he fanned a flop of 10♠K♣9♣. But even if almost all the players around the table were involved in the pot, everybody checked the flop to find the A♠ on the turn.
The blinds, the under the gun player and another one in middle position checked again, so Jacob Amsellem in the cutoff decided to bet 16,000. Atanas Kodinov called from the button, but Ian Gascoigne immediately raised all-in for approximately 75,000 from the small blind.
Everybody folded to Amsellem, who folded too. Kodinov then went into the tank, but eventually sent his cards into the muck as well, so Gascoigne won this one and almost doubled up.
Omar Eljach bet 5,000 from the button on a flop of 5♦3♦3♠ and Anton Bergstrom called in the small blind.
Both players checked the 2♦ turn before Bergstrom led out for 16,000 on the 8♥ turn.
Eljach then raised to 42,000 and Bergstrom quickly mucked as the chip leader raked in another pot.
Heads-up on a board of Q♣4♥4♣8♣, Adi Aizin bet 14,000 from the cutoff and Francesco Gisolfi called on the button.
The river was the 8♦ and Aizin bet 26,000. Gisolfi then moved all in for 58,000 and Aizin called.
Gisolfi turned over A♥8♥ for rivered trips and Aizin tossed AxQx into the muck as Gisolfi doubled up.
Matija Kajtez had already opened from under the gun and action folded to Bogdan Ciobanu in the cutoff, who shoved for a bit under 20,000. It was folded back to Kajtez, who quickly called to put Ciobanu at risk.
Bogdan Ciobanu: A♦J♦
Matija Kajtez: K♠K♦
Ciobanu would need some help, but the 8♣2♠5♦7♦9♠ runout kept Kajtez's cowboys best and Ciobanu was sent to the rail.
Niveau: 13
Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500

Action was picked up on the board of 9♥A♦Q♠6♠.
Benjamin Winsor led out for 8,000 from early position and Stanislav Tishkevich in the cutoff called.
After the dealer flipped the 6♣ river, Winsor tanked briefly before announcing all in for 18,000.
This put Tishkevich into the tank for a good minute, and he continued to glance back and forth between the player and the board.
Another minute passed and Tishkevich said: "a donation" before making the call.
Winsor tabled K♠Q♦ for two pair and Tishkevich showed A♠J♠ for top two pair, eliminating Winsor from the tournament.
