After a limp and a raise to 1,050, four players called and headed to a flop of

turn saw Ensan check-call a bet worth 4,500 and he then checked the river.
Segebrecht bet 20,000, which was enough to cover Ensan's remaining 12,400, and the latter eventually asked "Can I see your cards if I fold?" Segebrecht nodded and Ensan eventually called, which prompted Segebrecht to say "you win" while turning over 
for a bluff gone wrong. Ensan scooped the pot with and Segebrecht joked "I shouldn't have answered, and you would have folded, right?"

Dietrich Fast was standing outside of the tournament area and confirmed his elimination. According to the German, he got it in with pocket sixes against the pocket queens of Ali Reza Fatehi on a 
flop and Fatehi rivered a queen for the higher set.
Right at the table, that was confirmed as well and Fatehi added "I was only a little bit lucky. It is golden time, when you are running good you have to use it."

Stephen Chidwick never recovered from losing a big pot early on and was just sent to the rail by Paul-Francois Tedeschi. It was the latter that opened to 550 at the end of the level and Chidwick called on the button, as did Romain Nardin in the big blind. On the 
flop, Nardin checked and Tedeschi made it 925 to go. Chidwick shoved for his last 6,400 and Nardin folded, Tedeschi quickly called.
Stephen Chidwick: 
Paul-Francois Tedeschi: 
Both the 
turn and 
river failed to improve either player and Tedescho won the pot with ace-high to eliminate Chidwick.
