In a preflop confrontation Ronnie Lemmens was all in from middle position for around 250,000 and was up against Thomas Lilamand who had him covered from early position.
Ronnie Lemmens: K♠Q♠ 
Thomas Lilamand: A♦A♥
Lemmens was unable to crack the best possible starting hand on the 5♣4♥6♦7♦Q♣ runout and made his exit from the tournament area while Lilamand took down a nice pot.
Niveau: 20
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
The remaining 146 players are now on a 20-minute break.
Alan Ferraro opened to 20,000 under the gun and received a call from Mathieu Goncalves in middle position. Lukas Hafner was on the button, and he produced a three-bet to 70,000. Only Goncalves called.
On the Q♥8♥8♠ flop, Goncalves led out with a bet of 39,000. After some thought, Hafner called.
The K♣ rolled off on the turn, and Goncalves fired out a bet of 65,000. After a period of deliberation, Hafner moved all in for 200,000. Goncalves took a minute or two to think before making the call.
Lukas Hafner: 9♦9♠
Mathieu Goncalves: K♦J♦
Hafner had turned his third pair nines into a bluff, and needed to spike a nine on the river versus Goncalves' top pair kings, but it didn't come on the 7♦ river. Hafner departed the tournament area, while Goncalves celebrated taking down the big pot enthusiastically.
With two players seeing a board of Q♠7♣5♣ and around 55,000 in the middle Igor Pihela checked from the big blind and Maciej Komorowski bet 15,000 from the hijack. Pihela made the call.
Pihela check-called another bet from Komorowski on the J♦ turn, this time for 40,000.
Both players checked the 9♦ river. Pihela had second pair with J♣10♣ but Komorowski had two pair with J♥7♥ and he scooped the pot.
The action was caught on the river with the board showing 3♥2♠7♦5♣7♣ and with roughly 140,000 in the pot. Christopher Wood had shoved from the blinds for the remaining 130,000 Slade Fisher had in his stack. Fisher, who started the hand from an early position, went deep into the tank, thinking for quite some time. Eventually he opted to fold his hand and Wood dragged in the pot.
Eirik Kjoersvik opened from early position and Jiaze Li shoved from the button for a little under 100,000. Once the blinds folded, Kjoersvik made the call which put Li at risk.
Jiaze Li: K♥Q♦
Eirik Kjoersvik: 6♣6♥
Li paired his king on the K♦10♥9♠A♣10♦ runout to keep himself in contention and double up to around 200,000.
Action folded to Joshua Hopkins in the small blind, who jammed for 105,000, asking Jack Hardcastle in the big blind if he "had the balls".
Hardcastle chuckled, thought for a moment and made the call, with Hopkins at risk,
Joshua Hopkins: K♥3♥
Jack Hardcastle: Q♣10♣
Although he was ahead, Hopkins said "Shall I stand up?", to which Hardcastle laughed and replied "Don't or I'll punch you".
Hopkins' double-up was confirmed by the 9♦4♦5♥A♦5♠ runout, his king-kicker to the board pair of fives good enough to take the pot. As he raked in the pot, Hopkins smiled at Hardcastle and said "Cheers love".
