Gael Dirig got his chips in the middle and was at risk against Sefora Pop.
Gael Dirig: K♠10♦
Sefora Pop: [QhJh
Pop was trailing until the 4♦J♠9♥ flop saw her find a pair, holding through the 5♠A♦ runout to eliminate Dirig.
Simone Piazzini pushed all-in over the top to isolate when Halil Coknez was all-in with a severe short stack.
Halil Coknez: Q♥2♣
Simone Piazzini: A♥7♠
The board ran out K♦9♦5♠A♦9♠ and that spelled the end for Coknez.
Cristi Grecu tossed over his entire stack in disgust when he was eliminated by Igor Falkovsky. Out of the small blind, Grecu was involved with the 7♣7♦ and Falkovsky's J♥9♥ hit not one, or two but all three remaining nines in the deck on the 9♣9♠2♠9♦5♠ runout.
[Removed:607] was all-in preflop with the Q♣J♣ and Maurice Nass did so with the A♦10♣ for 95,000. Vlad Darie looked up both with 8♥8♣ and ended up third-best on a board of A♣9♠6♦2♥J♥.
Nass tripled up while [Removed:608] won the side pot by doubling through Darie for 95,000.
Theodoor Woolschot raised to 32,000 and Rens Buijs then pushed all-in for 237,000 in the hijack. Chip leader Duc Tuan Tran in the small blind called before Woolschot then moved all-in over the top.
"How much more is it?" Tran inquired and the all-in was for another 98,000 on top. It took nearly two minutes for the big stack to call, putting two players at risk.
Rens Buijs: 9♦9♠
Theodoor Woolschot: A♦K♦
Duc Tuan Tran: Q♥Q♣
"Oh, I am good!" Tran exclaimed when his two opponents had revealed their cards. However, it was Woolschot who got there on the K♣10♥8♣7♣10♦ board to almost triple up.
Buijs was eliminated and visibly upset, not by the outcome but by the "slowroll" of Tran.
Sefora Pop opened to 32,000 in early position and was called by Vlad Darie. Henning Wendlandt then three-bet to 132,000 before [Removed:607] moved all in for his last 158,000.
Pop made the call, as did Wendlandt after Darie got out of the way.
Pop then moved all in on the Q♠6♠3♣ flop, with Wendlandt making a frustrated fold.
[Removed:607]: A♠Q♥
Sefora Pop: A♣K♦
Pop had out-flopped [Removed:608] and held on the 9♣7♣ runout to add more chips to her growing stack.
[Removed:607] opened to 16,000 before Maurice Nass moved all in to his left. Gael Dirig made the call in the big blind, while [Removed:608] got out of the way.
Maurice Nass: Q♠Q♦
Gael Dirig: A♥J♥
Nass was in good shape to double up and his pocket queens held up through the 9♥10♦8♦3♠K♠ runout to double up and leave Dirig short.
David Lecomte moved all in on the button and Vlad Darie called in the small blind.
David Lecomte: A♦9♣
Vlad Darie: A♣Q♣
Lecomte could not catch up on the 10♦6♦K♠J♣6♥ runout, which left Darie with Broadway to score the knockout.
An action flop of 4♥4♠K♠ saw all of Yuzhou Yin's chips in the middle against Theodoor Woolschot.
Yuzhou Yin: J♥4♣
Theodoor Woolschot: Q♠J♠
Yin's trip fours needed to dodge a spade, but the 2♠ turn saw Woolschot take the lead. The 5♣ river changed nothing, as Yin was sent to the rail.
Denis Alimanovic was all-in preflop with the K♥J♦ and up against Traian Stanciu with the Q♥Q♣.
There was no king on the 9♣5♠3♠A♥6♥ board and Alimanovic headed to the payout desk.
