In a blind versus blind battle, Roman Hrabec and Krishna Madhariwar built a pot of 9,500 heading to the 9♣2♦10♠ flop.
Both players checked as the 10♣ fell on the turn. Madhariwar then led out for 5,000 and Hrabec called. The river was the 10♦ and Madhariwar put Hrabec all in.
Hrabec called for his last 19,800 with A♦K♦, and Madhariwar went to muck his cards before being forced to show 8♦5♦ as Hrabec doubled up.
Online legend Viktor Blom is also at this table, while Eusebiu Jalba is also here with around 90,000.
Alex Keating was in the big blind and moved all in for 17,300 as Michele Pucci called in early position.
Alex Keating: 10♣10♥
Michele Pucci: A♦Q♠
Keating and Pucci were off to the races as the flop came K♣5♥J♣. Pucci needed one of Keating's tens to make a straight, but he missed everything on the 3♠ turn and 7♠ river as Keating doubled up.
Daniel Lange moved all in for 3,500 under the gun and Abdellah Bouzergan then shoved for 15,500 in early position. Scottie Howington also reshoved on the button. "Close," small blind Rens Buijs said as he folded.
Daniel Lange: A♥6♥
Abdellah Bouzergan: A♣9♣
Scottie Howington: 9♥9♦
Howington was ahead trying to knock out both players, but the 3♣5♣7♣ flop gave Bouzergan the nut flush. The rest of the board came 6♣Q♠ and Bouzergan busted Lange, while doubling off Howington.
Howington then explained to Buijs how he lost with the same hands in another tournament.
"Stop complaining about me," Bouzergan said from across the table.
"He's not complaining about you. He's just saying how he played the same cards," Buijs replied, and the two players were then able to share a laugh.
Stefan Raschbauer opened to 900 from early position and was called by Yehor Shumeiko from the button. Senad Tursunovic three-bet to 3,500 from the big blind. Only Shymeiko called.
Tursunovic checked on the 6♠5♠4♣ flop and his opponent bet 2,000. Tursunovic clicked it to 6,000 which folded out Shumeiko.
Robert Schulz put in his last 10,000 from the small blind and Frank Reichel called in the cutoff to put him at risk.
Robert Schulz: K♠J♦
Frank Reichel: 5♥5♣
The flop came 6♥A♥10♦ and Schulz picked up a straight draw to go with his overcards. The Q♦ turn completed his nut straight and left Reichel already drawing dead heading to the 4♥ river as he dropped down to a short stack.
Levent Efe opened to 800 from the hijack and was called by Manuel Schnur and Romain Le Dantec from the button and big blind.
Action checked to Schnur on the Q♦5♠4♠ flop, and he bet 1,600. Le Dantec raised to 4,600. Efe got out of the way, and Schnur pondered for a moment before calling.
Schnur called a bet of 7,200 on the A♦ turn, which saw the 6♦ river come onto the felt. Le Dantec moved all in for 16,900, which sent Schnur into the tank. Schnur asked for a count while having a confused look on his face.
Schnur eventually called only to see that he was beat as his 5♣3♣ was bested by Le Dantec's Q♣4♥, which was good for two pair.
Le Dantec then took in the next pot after three-betting from the small blind, which saw the original raiser fold.
A few hands later, Nolan Curatolo opened to 1,000 from under the gun before Aliaksandr Shylko three-bet to 3,000 from the hijack. Le Dantec then made it 7,500 from the cutoff. Curatolo and Shylko folded their hands.
Le Dantec has found success at King's Resort in Rozvadov before. Two years ago, he took down Event #13: €10,000 NLH 6-Max for €207,267 and his first WSOP bracelet.
Le Dantec overcame the likes of Sonny Franco, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Sirzat Hissou at the final table.
