On the Q♠9♣7♠2♥ turn, Hen Rosilio bet 8,000 and was called only by David Boyaciyan. They checked the 4♦ on the river and Rosilio tabled his K♣10♥10♠9♠.
Boyaciyan had that beat with the A♥9♥7♦6♥ for two pair and pulled narrowly ahead of his opponent.
Another big pot was already brewing between Jan Verbraeken and Michael Rodrigues on a flop of A♠8♠2♣ when Verbraeken potted to 47,000 in the big blind.
Rodrigues called and the turn came the 4♣. Verbraeken only had a few chips left behind and put them in the middle, with Rodrigues snap-calling.
Rodrigues had Q♠9♠8♦7♥ fora pair and flush draw, while Verbraeken showed A♣A♥K♥J♣ for top set.
The river came the 6♦ and Verbraeken held on to double up.
Three ways to the A♥8♦4♥3♠ turn, it checked to Pavel Izotov and he bet 7,300.
Jose Manuel Planells asked how much was in the pot prior to that and then called, grinning the word "discount?!".
They went heads-up to the 6♦ river on which Izotov checked behind.
Planells tabled the A♦10♦3♣2♣ for two pair but Izotov had the best of it with the A♠10♠5♦2♦ for a straight.
Heads-up on a board of 9♥K♥9♦2♦, Dorel Eldabach bet 4,500 from the button and Javier Francort called in the hijack.
The river came the 9♠ and Francort checked to Eldabach, who flicked in a chip and announced pot to 21,000.
"I put you on a wrap. You can't be good here," Eldabach told him as the two players began laughing.
"Aces," Francort replied.
"I block your aces," Eldabach said. Francort eventually called and Eldabach turned over A♦K♣9♣6♣ for quads.
Azad Tekes raised to 5,000 and Andreas Tomazou was the only caller. On a flop of A♣J♣6♥, both players checked. Tekes then bet the 8♥ turn for 10,000 and received a call before betting again the 6♠ river for 15,000.
Tomazou folded and was left with half the starting stack, which he lost and re-entered right away.
Michael Rodrigues, Jan Verbraeken, and Shawn Stroke went to a 5♠A♣9♦ flop where Stroke bet 2,000 from the hijack.
Rodrigues called in the cutoff, as did Verbraeken in the big blind. The turn came the 4♠ and Verbraeken led out for 15,000.
Stroke instantly folded, but Rodrigues pushed forward a stack of chips for a raise. Verbraeken then put in his last 50,000 and showed 6♦4♦3♠2♦ for a straight.
Rodrigues had 7♠5♣3♣2♥ for the same straight, and they chopped up Stroke's chips once the 10♠ completed the board.
"You both play that garbage," Stroke said.
Niveau: 7
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
Players are now on a 30-minute dinner break. Action should resume around 10:45 p.m. local time.
The field has grown to 126 entries, with 82 remaining as late registration remains open for another six levels.
There were only 9,000 in the middle to the 10♣9♦2♣ flop after which a raising war broke out. Hakan Orduzu ended up all-in and at risk for 97,800 against Ihar Pliashko to create the following showdown.
Hakan Orduzu: J♥10♠9♥4♦
Ihar Pliashko: K♠Q♣9♠9♣
Orduzu needed a ten or running cards for a straight as Pliashko was miles ahead with the set, gutshot and flush draw.
The 8♠ turn and 7♠ river saw Orduzu pull a rabbit out of the hat as he indeed caught a jack-high straight.
