A preflop raising war saw Pierre Trauer squeeze to 11,400 out of the small blind. Thomas Merten then made it 25,100 to go in the cutoff only for Trauer to move all-in. Both players held decent stacks and Merten went into the tank for more than three minutes. He then folded and claimed in table chat he let go of pocket jacks.
On the tail end of a heads-up hand between Antonio Artusa and Ahmad Achegsei, the latter bet the 
river for 8,000. Artusa tanked for quite a while and eventually called. Achegsei rolled over the 
for kings and fours to claim the pot and jump above two times the starting stack.
Klaus Biehler opened to 2,000 and earned three callers including Valon Olluri out of the big blind. The flop fell 
and the action checked to Biehler, who bet 3,000. Josef Huber called on the button and Olluri then check-raised to 7,300 in the big blind. Biehler reraised to 33,000 and that forced folds all around as Olluri mucked 
face up.
On the tail end of a hand between Jan Bendik in the small blind and Sharon Sade, the former checked on the 
river. Sade bet 12,000 and Bendik mulled over his decision for a while before making the call. Sade rolled over the 
for a busted draw and Bendik won the pot with 
for queens and eights.
Carlo Savinelli was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and Emil Bise was on the brink to follow with a short stack. However, the WSOP bracelet winner and two time WSOPC ring champion then doubled for 18,600 against Victor Messika. The cards of the latter were mucked already as Bise's for queens full on the 
were the best hand.
Niveau: 4
Blinds: 200/500
Ante: 500
Three ways to the 
flop the action escalated when Danilo Donnini bet, Andrej Racek raised and Abd El Ghanim made it 21,000 to go. Donnini folded while Racek jammed and was called by El Ghanim.
Andrej Racek: 
Abd El Ghanim: 
El Ghanim was calling for hearts and then changed his mind on the turn, asking for a king instead. Neither wish was granted as the river gave Racek a full house and the double for 37,700. "I folded queen ten," Donnini mentioned in table chat.
Vasileios Tsaknis and Eyal Bensimhon were among the players to re-enter after firing the first bullet without success. Some other notables have only now appeared in the field.
The cards of Eyal Bensimhon were already in the muck as he paid off the full double for Valerii Firstenko. It remains unclear what King's regular Bensimhon held but Firstenko had flopped a gutshot straight flush draw with 
and held the nuts when the board ran out 
.
Bensimhon was left with a fraction of the starting stack, which he may either spin up or take advantage of the re-entry option.
