Action was picked up on the flop of Q♠Q♦J♦ where Alex Foxen had check-raised a bet of 40,000 to 120,000 from the big blind. Original better Orpen Kisacikoglu called from the button.
Foxen then led all in for 270,000 on the 4♦ turn and Kisacikoglu called.
Alex Foxen: K♠10♦
Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♦10♣
Kisacikoglu had Foxen pipped in the flush and kicker department and his ace high held on the 3♣ river.
Kristen Foxen moved all in from the hijack before Viktor Blom reshoved for 680,000 from the cutoff. This folded out the rest of the table and the cards went on their backs.
Kristen Foxen: 6♦6♠
Viktor Blom: K♥Q♦
Foxen remained ahead on the A♥10♥4♣ flop while Blom picked up a straight draw to accompany his overcards. The 7♥ turn gave Blom a flush draw, which came in on the J♥ river to seal the checkmark and elimination.
Shortly after, Daniel Dvoress jammed with K♦Q♦ and Blom reshoved as the slightly bigger stack with A♠8♥. Dvoress failed to connect on the runout and left the feature table.
Daniel Dvoress moved all in for around 450,000 first to act. Leon Tsoukernik rejammed for 855,00 from the cutoff. The button and small blind folded, ahead of Salih Atac flashing the A♠ before ditching his hand.
This left Dvoress drawing to two immediate outs as he tabled A♥10♠. Tsoukernik was ahead with J♠J♥.
The drama-free K♣6♣2♥4♥7♠ runout kept the jacks in front and Dvoress exited the tournament room.
On the feature table, Besim Hot's seat was empty as he was unable to spin up his short stack.
Viktor Blom opened from the button to 85,000. Orpen Kisacikoglu moved all in from the small blind for 675,000. Blom called and had Kisacikoglu covered.
Orpen Kisacikoglu: Q♠Q♦
Viktor Blom: A♣10♠
Kisacikoglu made a flush across the monotone K♦9♦10♦8♦7♦ runout to secure the double up.
The very next hand. Viktor Blom was all in from the cutoff for around 350,000. Alex Foxen reraised all in for around 830,000. Sirzat Hissou then called and had both players covered.
Viktor Blom: 5♠5♦
Alex Foxen: A♠K♠
Sirzat Hissou: A♣Q♠
Hissou hit two pair on the flop of Q♦A♦2♣ and held across the 8♣ turn and 6♣ river to score a double knockout. Like the Terminator, Foxen said "i'll be back" as he left the tournament area, presumably to the rebuy desk. Blom instantly rebought into the event.
