Down to around 180,000 in chips, Apostolos Chatzopoulos was at risk preflop and he was looked up by Krzysztof Magott with the far superior stack from two seats over.
Apostolos Chatzopoulos:
Krzysztof Magott:
The flop gave Chatzopoulos two pair but they were counterfeited on the turn and river runout.
On the river of a board, Jaroslav Peter bet the pot and Veselin Karakitukov called. Peter flashed an combo for the nut straight and won the pot. He had very few chips behind and essentially doubled thanks to the blinds and big blind ante.
In the last hand before the break, Joni Jouhkimainen had check-called a bet worth 150,000 by Maximilian Klostermeier on the turn and checked the river. Klostermeier bet 325,000 and the Finn reluctantly folded.
When they came back from the break, Jouhkimainen asked his opponent whether or not he would have called if he had jammed and Klostermeier shook his head.
Klostermeier remained active and raised from under the gun to get called by Ermanno Di Nicola and Jouhkimainen out of the small blind. On the flop, Klostermeier continued for 90,000 and Di Nocola on the button was the only caller. The fell on the turn and another bet worth 250,000 by Klostermeier was called.
Both checked the river and Klostermeier tabled as the winning hand.
Didier Rabl limped in from the cutoff and Patrik Jaros raised the pot to 150,000 out of the small blind, which Rabl called with some 255,000 behind. On the flop, Jaros bet the pot and that sent Rabl into a short tank. He then shrugged and moved forward his stack for the all-in call.

Patrik Jaros:
The turn gave Rabl two pair but they were no good as the river improved Jaros to a flush, sending Rabl out in 15th place for €11,293.
