WSOP bracelet winner Antoine Vranken opened to 5,500 from the hijack and was called by Josef Gulas and Axel Hallay from the button and big blind.
Vranken continued for 8,000 on the K♦10♠4♠ flop before Gulas made it 22,000. Hallay called and Vranken folded.
The 8♦ turn then checked through to the 7♥ river. Hallay put Gulas all in for his last 83,000 and was called.
Hallay had K♠7♠ for kings and seven which beat Gulas' K♥J♦.
On a completed board of 2♣10♦4♥2♥A♣, Andrej Desset bet out 80,000 chips from the cutoff in the pot of 95,000. Safwane Bahri was his opponent on the button and he took some minutes before putting in the call.
Desset tabled 4♠4♣ for a full house and Bahri nodded in acknowledgment before mucking his cards, leaving himself with just under ten big blinds.
Action folded to Stephen Chidwick who limped in from the small blind. Jacopo Achille then raised to 9,000 and Chidwick called.
The flop came 2♣3♥Q♠ and Achille continued for 6,000. Chidwick called and both players checked the 3♦ turn.
Chidwick led out for 6,000 on the 2♠ river and Achille snap-called. Chidwick showed 5♠5♣, but Achille had K♣Q♦ to win the pot with two pair, queens and deuces.
Having defended the big blind against a raise by Christophe Panetti, it was Kacper Pawlowski who checked the K♣K♦9♥ flop and subsequently check-raised to 11,000. Panetti called and they headed to the 6♣ turn. Pawlowski now bet 15,000 and Panetti let go eventually.
Heads-up on a board of 8♠3♥5♠10♣, Hyun Sup Kim bet 11,000 from the cutoff before Alexandre Reard moved all in for 49,500 in the hijack.
Kim agonized over the decision for a minute before calling, turning over Q♦10♦ for top pair. Reard showed K♠K♦ and was poised for a double up heading to the 3♠ river, which secured him the pot.
Keneshka Kabir, who began the day as one of the top stacks in the tournament, is also at this table and has steadily increased his stack over the first two levels to around 500,000.
Robert Bukala raised to 5,500 and Eusebiu Jalba in the big blind gave him a stare down before making the call. Jalba then led the 7♣4♠2♦ flop for 4,000 and the 3♦ turn for 14,000, both of which Bukala called.
They checked the 4♦ river and Jalba tabled the 10♦9♣, Bukala won the pot with the J♠J♦.
"Nice hand," Jalba said to his opponent and Bukala joked back "nice try".

The 5♦ river rolled off and Tsyhryk slowed down with a check. Rcheulishvili pushed out one more bet, of 40,000, and Tsyhryk made an immediate call.
Rcheulishvili tabled K♦J♦ for two pair and it won him the pot when Tsyhryk's cards hit the muck.
