Yehuda Cohen open-shoved for 85,000 from under the gun and was called by Hyun Kim on the button. Otto Lemke in the big blind hesitated to join them but eventually folded.
Yehuda Cohen: A♥5♠
Hyun Kim: A♦9♣
Cohen only saw his ace, so he asked for a 10x when he flipped his cards over, but the 5♠ appeared. However, thanks to this cards, he found a straight draw on the flop 8♥7♦9♥. But the turn 3♦ and the river 10♣ didn't complete it, and he was eliminated.
Action folded to Duc Quy Nguyen in the small blind who moved all in for 250,000. Elia Salerno called in the big blind.
Duc Quy Nguyen: A♥K♥
Elia Salerno: Q♣Q♦
The two players were flipping heading to the 2♣10♥8♠ flop. Nguyen took the lead on the K♣ turn and was poised for a double up, but the Q♥ fell on the river as Salerno spiked a set.

Tim Kraemer: A♦8♥
Martin Toerper: A♠J♥

Anson Tsang opened to 30,000 from middle position and was called by Patrick Boernicke from the cutoff. Christodoulos Agioploudis, the big stack, raised enough to put both players all in. Tsang, who had around 375,000, called for his tournament life before Boernicke folded.
Anson Tsang: 9x9x
Christodoulos Agioploudis: 8x8x
Tsang was the huge favorite and it remained that way after the K♥6♥6♦ flop. The 6♠ turn changed nothing, but the 6♣ river gave both players quads with a king kicker.
Tsang shook his head in disbelief as he was denied a double up.
Goekhan Guengoer on the button found himself at risk for 90,000 chips against Tal Herzog in early position.
Goekhan Guengoer: 6♥6♦
Tal Herzog: K♣Q♥
On a board of 3♦10♦Q♣J♦2♦, Guengoer stood up and was ready to leave as Herzog hit top pair on the turn. But the other players at the table called him back, because he didn't see he had a flush on the river to double up.

"Nice river. That's how you win tournaments," Stroke said as he stacked up the pot.
