With the turn showing 6♥5♥2♥10♠ and some 36,500 in the middle, Christophe Sanchez checked from the big blind. Martin Stausholm in the cutoff bet 9,000 and Sanchez called.
The 5♣ on the river was checked and Sanchez tabled his A♥5♠, which won the pot.
"No river bet? Did I look too hungry?" Sanchez grinned.
Omar Eljach has been spotted with a massive stack on a table filled with notables and Anson Tsang provided the details for the sudden rise of the defending champion.
According to Tsang, Kapian Tamer raised and earned one caller. Eljach three-bet to 35,000 for Tamer to four-bet to 88,000. Eljach then min-clicked and instantly called the shove by Tamer with aces, getting shown just ace-jack for a pot of nearly 250 big blinds.
The action folded to the short-stacked Yannick Schumacher in the small blind, and he went all in for his final 20,000 chips. Roman Hrabec made the call from the big blind and the cards were tabled.
Yannick Schumacher: K♦5♠
Roman Hrabec: K♥10♣
Schumacher was dominated, but that would soon change on the 2♣7♦4♥5♣ board. However, his turned pair of fives was rivered by the 10♠, which brought Hrabec the higher pair.
Schumacher raced out of the tournament area while Hrabec stacked up some more chips. Adrian Mateos is also at this table and has known a solid grind so far on Day 2, sitting on nearly 100 big blinds.
On the tail end of a 10♥4♣3♥Q♠2♥ river, Ramon Kropmanns checked and Ioannis Angelou-Konstas bet 72,000 into a pot of around 115,000. Kropmanns went into the tank and eventually called.
Angelou-Konstas tabled the A♥K♥ for the nuts and won a big pot.
Davide Suriano then mentioned that the Greek was freerolling.
"He is right, I should have been out," Angelou-Konstas nodded.
More than 120,000 was already in the middle as Safwane Bahri and Alexander Norden went to the river on a board of 3♠J♦2♦J♠7♥.
Norden, on the button, then moved all in for 70,000. Bahri was in the hijack and tanked for several minutes until the clock was called.
He eventually committed the chips and Norden turned over 2♥2♠ for a full house, deuces full of jacks. Bahri flashed Q♣Q♥ before mucking.
Yerai Iribarren opened to 6,000 from under the gun before Stefan Schoss made it 16,500 from the hijack. Iribarren responded with a four-bet to 40,000, which was met with a reraise to 105,000. Iribarren opted to fold.
The table implored Schoss to show his cards. Schoss offered Iribarren to see one but the latter declined.
The table then guessed Schoss' hand and the pot winner replied with "They were both pretty good."
Serkan Kuru raised to 7,000 under the gun and Pierre Kauert called on the button. Felix Seelentag then three-bet to 28,500 in the big blind and only Kuru called.
The flop came J♥6♣5♦ and Seelentag continued for 20,000. Kuru called to see the 2♣ turn, where Seelentag bet another 45,000.
Kuru again called and Seelentag slowed down and checked the 6♣ river. Kuru also checked and Seelentag turned over A♠K♦ for ace-igh. Kuru showed 8♠8♣ as he took the big pot.
Julian Margner opened to 6,500 from the cutoff and Timo Kamphues defended his big blind.
Kamphues led out for 5,500 and 7,500 on the flop and turn before the river checked through to showdown.
Kamphues whiffed the 6♥5♣3♣5♥K♣ board and could only table queen-high with his Q♠4♥. Margner won the hand with A♦8♣.
The pot had grown to 50,000 chips when Lukas Pazma checked from the big blind on K♠2♥J♠3♠. His opponent was chipleader Andrea Radicchi, and he made a bet of 27,000. Lukas Pazma took some time to think things over but eventually ended up calling.
The 8♥ river then completed the board and another check followed from Pazma. Radicchi assembled a bet of 155,000, more than half of Pazma's remaining chips, and put it in the middle.
This sent Pazma deep into the tank for several minutes. Eventually, he tossed in one chip to signify a call and Radicchi showed his nuts with A♠5♠. Pazma could only nod his head as he cut out the required chips from his stack.
