The action was picked up on a turn of 10♠J♣8♥8♦, where Jakub Piwowarski bet 10,000 into a pot of 40,000 from the big blind. Farid Jattin then raised to 40,000, which Piwowarski called.
The 9♥ fell on the river and saw Piwowarski check to Jattin. Jattin fired 80,000 and was eventually called by Piwowarski.
Jattin tabled K♥Q♣ for the rivered straight and rose above the half-million mark.

Parker Talbot raised to 9,000 in middle position and Adria Colomina called in the big blind.
Talbot continued for 5,000 on the 7♥7♦3♣ flop and Colomina raised to 14,000. Talbot then moved all in for 60,000.
Colomina used up a time bank before folding as Talbot took the pot.
The next hand, Balakrishna Patur three-bet to 22,000 on the button and Talbot moved all in again, this time for 99,000 in early position. Patur called to put him at risk.
Parker Talbot: A♠A♣ 
Balakrishna Patur: A♦Q♣
Talbot was a big favorite with his aces as the board ran out J♥8♣5♦3♦K♠, earning him a double up.
Jeff Kirsch moved all in from early position for 31,000 and Istvan Pilhofer moved all in over the top from middle position for 68,000. Cedric Schwaederle called in the small blind and had both players covered as the cards were turned.
Jeff Kirsch: A♦Q♥
Istvan Pilhofer: 9♦9♣
Cedric Schwaederle: 9♥9♠
The board ran out 10♠A♥5♠K♥5♦ and Kirsch paired his ace on the flop to win the main pot. The side pot was chopped between Pilhofer and Schwaederle.
Claudio Gordon and Rafael Pardo built a pot of around 120,000 as they went heads-up to the J♠5♣7♣ flop. Gordon then bet 45,000 from the big blind. Pardo came back with an all-in shove from early position, and Gordon called for 147,000.
Claudio Gordon: Q♠Q♥
Rafael Pardo: 9♦9♥
Gordon was ahead with his queens as the J♦ fell on the turn, followed by the 6♦ on the river to earn him a double up.
Francis Beauregard made it 8,000 from early position then Michael Kil shoved for 46,000. Once it got back to Beauregard, he made the call.
Michael Kil: Q♥Q♠
Francis Beauregard: K♥Q♦
Kil's pocket queens held on as the runout of J♥4♣5♥3♥5♣ left Beauregard unimproved. Although, the dealer didn't seem to think this as he announced that there was an elimination, much to the surprise of Kil. After looking at the board, the dealer realized that Kil had in fact won, and pushed him the pot.
Andrei Spataru was all-in with a short stack of around 50,000 and was called by Tom Middleton, who had him covered as players flipped their cards.
Andrei Spataru: Q♠Q♣
Tom Middleton: J♥J♦
The board ran out 3♥8♥4♥2♥5♦ and Middleton turned a flush to get ahead and win the pot, eliminating Spataru from the tournament.
Erik Seidel pushed in his last 35,000 in middle position and was called by Mustafa Al Sayegh in the cutoff.
Erik Seidel: A♠J♠
Mustafa Al Sayegh: A♦Q♦
The 10♠10♥7♦ flop brought some chop outs for Seidel's inferior ace while the J♣ turn gave the Hall of Famer the lead with two pair.
The K♦ river made Al Sayegh Broadway, however, and Seidel said his goodbyes before picking up his min-cash.
Grzegorz Wyraz moved all in from the cutoff for 71,000 with A♠K♣ and got a call from Giovanni Giudice in the big blind holding K♦Q♥.
Wyraz was at risk but ahead pre-flop and looking to hold.
The 6♣9♥K♥ flop didn't change much as both players were sat with a king but the 3♥ turn gave Giudice a flush draw and brought in a bit more of a sweat for Wyraz.
The 3♦ river didn't bring the flush and secured the double for Wyraz, leaving Giudice short.
