Vivian Saliba raised to 400,000 under the gun, leaving herself around 50,000 back, and Eusebiu Jalba moved all in from early position.

Eusebiu Jalba: 10♦10♥

The two players were racing, but Jalba took a big lead on the 9♣4♥10♣ flop with top set. The 4♣ turn improved him to a full house and left Saliba drawing dead by the 8♦ river and heading for the exit.

In the final hand before the break, Alex Keating in the small blind check-called the A♥3♥2♣K♦ turn and then called when Symeon Alexandridis bet 140,000 from an early position.

The 10♠ river was checked which Keating verified before he announced "I have an ace" and revealed the A♠6♠. Alexandridis sighed and tossed his cards into the muck.

At the same time on a different table, Yulian Bogdanov raised to 50,000 and then called a three-bet shove for around 675,000 by Marius Gicovanu within a few seconds.

Marius Gicovanu: J♦J♥
Yulian Bogdanov: 7♥7♠

The big stack was behind and didn't connect on the K♥Q♣5♣ flop or 2♦ turn. However, the 7♣ fell on the river and Gicovanu bowed out with a bad beat story to tell.

Niveau 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Leon Sturm got all of his 650,000 chips in from the button against Alex Keating in the big blind. Keating had the covering stack when the cards were flipped over.

Leon Sturm: K♠K♥
Alex Keating: A♣Q♣

The flop remained safe for Sturm with 9♠J♥6♠ appearing, but the A♥ turn spelled disaster for him. He could not hit a king on the 4♥ river and was consequently eliminated from the Main Event.

Keating apologized but Sturm told him there was no need, before swiftly departing.
