Other recent eliminations include Adrian State, Maduka Meragal, and Juuso Luokkanen.
Yuval Rosenberg raised to 5,200 in early position and received calls from Roman Hrabec and Adrian Mateos in the blinds.
The flop came 6♦J♣A♣ and Rosenberg continued for 7,000. Only Hrabec called to see the 7♥ turn, where Rosenberg bet 9,000.
Hrabec again called and both players quickly checked the 2♠ river, Rosenberg showing down A♦4♦ to win the pot.
In addition to Hrabec and Mateos, this table also includes Viktor Blom and Yannick Schumacher.
After several raises, Omar Eljach got all of his 132,600 chips in from the cutoff against Nikola Minkov in the big blind, who played 30,000 more.
Omar Eljach: Q♠Q♣
Nikola Minkov: A♦K♦
"El Classico," another player at the table noted. It would be Eljach's turn to win this admittedly classic flip when the aces and kings remained absent on the 8♠J♥4♣4♦3♠ runout. He doubled up while Minkov was left with 15 big blinds.
Eric Tsai opened to 4,000 from the cutoff before Borys Rozhanovskyi three-bet to 12,000. Kapian Tamer called from the small blind and Levan Rcheulishvili decided to make it 41,000 from the big blind. Only Rozhanovskyi called.
The A♠Q♣J♣ flop checked through to the 5♥ turn. Rcheulishvili bet 31,000 and then called when his opponent raised to 80,000.
The K♥ river was an action killer and both players checked.
Rcheulishvili tabled A♣5♣ for aces and fives but was bested by the aces and jacks A♥J♦ that Rozhanovskyi held.
With 65,000 chips in the pot, Finn Zwad and Andrej Desset both checked the turn on Q♦5♠7♠J♠. The J♣ river then completed the board and Zwad let out for 28,000 from middle position.
Desset instantly called and Zwad could only show a bluff with 9♣8♣. Desset tabled K♠K♥ for the winning two pair and raked in another pot on what has been a stellar Day 2 for him so far.
Virgile Turchi opened to 4,000 from under the gun before Johan Guilbert made it 10,500 from the next seat over. Turchi then moved all in, and Guilbert snap-folded.
Guilbert is one of the participants on GGPoker's Latest Show: Game of Gold.

Darius Samual three-bet to 14,500 on the button before Joakim Andersson four-bet to 40,000 in the cutoff. Samual then moved all in and Andersson snap-called for 150,000.
Joakim Andersson: Q♥Q♣
Darius Samual: A♠5♠
Andersson was ahead with his queens as the flop came 7♠8♥K♦. The 9♠ turn gave Samual the nut flush draw, but he didn't need it as the A♦ fell on the river to give him top pair and send Andersson, who won his first WSOP bracelet in the €1,000 Turbo Bounty earlier this week, to the rail.
The cards of Marek Uharcek were already in the muck and he paid off a double worth 91,400 to Marco Di Persio. On a board of 8♥3♠2♦4♣10♠, the A♥A♣ of Di Persio ended up as the winner. According to the Italian, Nils Pudel had raised and received one caller. Uharcek then squeezed to 20,000 for Di Persio to shove out of the small blind, only Uharcek came along and called with ace-king to lose a big portion of his stack.
Things got even worse for Uharcek soon after when he looked up Motokatsu Uhara preflop with K♠K♦ versus A♦K♣. The 10♣7♥3♥A♥J♣ board delivered an ace on the turn and another blow to Uharcek's stack.
