There were around 15,000 chips in the middle on a board of J♥7♦5♠J♣2♠. Aliaksandr Shylko was first to act from the big blind and put out a bet of 8,000, which Daniele Guidetti snap-called.
Shylko turned over J♠4♠ for trip jacks and was good against the K♦K♥ of Guidetti.
Matteo Ferrara moved all in for 40,000 from the big blind and Jianwei Lin called in early position.
Matteo Ferrara: A♥K♦ 
Jianwei Lin: 4♦4♣
Ferrara was racing for his tournament life as he picked up a straight draw on the Q♦10♣3♥ flop. The 9♠ turn was no help, while the 7♣ fell on the river to keep Lin's fours in the lead as Ferrara smacked his stack all over the table in frustration before making his exit.
Svetlin Sabev was all-in for his last 24,000 from the big blind following a raise by Peter Csecsetka on the button, who called to put Sabev at risk.
Svetlin Sabev: A♣2♣
Peter Csecsetka: K♠K♦
The board came 7♣5♠3♥9♠9♣ as Csecsetka's kings held to score the latest elimination in the room as the field has thinned to less than 500 remaining players.
Cesar Garcia moved all in for 35,000 from the small blind and Asher Conniff called on the button.
Cesar Garcia: A♣J♣
Asher Conniff: A♠A♥
Conniff had woken up with aces to leave Garcia at serious risk of elimination, and Garcia found no help on the 2♥5♠K♥6♥3♣ board as he was sent to the rail.
Paawan Bansal opened to 4,000 from under the gun, and then four-bet jammed as the bigger stack after Adrian Martin made it 13,000 from the cutoff. Martin called off the 60,000 more he had behind and the cards were tabled.
Adrian Martin: A♦A♠
Paawan Bansal: K♣K♥
It was the ultimate cooler and Martin left Bansal drawing to runner-runner after making top set on the A♥3♥8♠ flop. The 7♣ turn locked up his double up ahead of the 4♣ river.
Malcolm Franchi is also at the table and he has a mountainous chip tower in front of him. He's not far off from reaching the 600,000 mark and is the biggest stack in the room as it stands.
Maciej Gut opened to 4,000 in early position and was called by Ondrej Goetz to his immediate left and Arnaud Enselme in the big blind.
After Enselme checked the 10♦5♠2♠ flop, Gut continued for 5,000, only getting a call from Goetz.
The turn brought the 6♦ and Gut bet again, this time for 17,000. Again Goetz called.
On the river 9♣, Gut bet a final time, sizing down to 10,000. The bet's size didn't matter to Goetz as he folded to send the pot to Gut.
Uladzimir Luchkou raised to 4,000 from the cutoff with K♠10♠, Tom Middleton called in the small blind with A♦10♥ and Rene Baranek came along in the big blind.
The flop came 2♦9♣Q♦ and action checked to Luchkou, who bet 5,500. Middleton check-raised to 18,500, Baranek folded, and Luchkou laid down his hand.
Richard Swatton bet 8,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 4♠2♠2♣ before Paawan Bansal moved all in for 48,000 in the big blind. Malcolm Franchi called in early position, while Swatton got out of the way.
Paawan Bansal: 4♥2♥
Malcolm Franchi: 10♦10♥
Franchi's overpair was crushed by Bansal's flopped full house as the board ran out Q♠Q♦, earning him a double up as Franchi handed over some of his massive stack.
Fahredin Mustafov opened to 4,000 from the hijack and was called by Luka Bojovic from the button. Lars Tungel moved all in for 37,000 from the small blind before Ravi Sheth put in his last 32,000 from the big blind. Mustafov folded and Bojovic put in the call after a few moments of thinking.
Ravi Sheth: A♠10♠
Lars Tungel: 3♥3♦
Luka Bojovic: 7♣7♠
Sheth made a pair on the K♥10♥2♠ flop to take the lead before making the nuts to triple up after the 9♠ turn and Q♠ river. Bojovic was left with around 60,000 while Tungel was booted out.
Mustafov, starting the hand with around 200,000 chips, was eliminated just a few hands later. It appears that Stephen Song claimed most, if not all, of Mustafov's stack, as Song was the only player at the table with a comparable chip count.
The action was caught with Konstantyn Holskyi betting 15,000 from the blinds on a flop 8♥J♥6♣2♠. Niklas Astedt called in the seat next to him along with Gerard Carbo from late position.
All three players chose to check the 7♠ river and Astedt took down the pot with K♠J♠ for top pair.
