Martin Stausholm raised to 700 from middle position and Christian Jaeger called from the cutoff. Oleksii Novykov slung in the call from the button, then Simone Ramakers put in the extra chips from the big blind.
The four saw a flop of 10♥4♠3♣ which checked through to the J♥ turn. Ramakers checked, Stausholm bet 1,600, Jaegar & Novykov folded, and Ramakers called.
A K♦ completed the board and after Ramakers checked, Stausholm fired 5,000. Ramakers sighed and reluctantly tossed in the call.
Stausholm showed A♦K♥ for top pair, and Ramakers flashed K♣Q♠ before she mucked.
Heads-up on a flop of 9♣8♦7♣, Sergei Del Molino bet 1,300 from the button and Aram Sargsyan raised to 3,000 in the small blind. Del Molino called and the 4♦ fell on the turn.
Sargsyan then bet another 3,000 and Del Molino again called. The 3♥ fell on the river and Sargsyan bet 11,500. Del Molino took his time before calling as Sargsyan turned over J♦10♥ for the flopped nut straight to win the big pot.
With the board showing 8♠Q♦A♦K♦9♠ and around 31,000 already in the pot, Aliaksandr Shylko, first to act in the small blind, led out with a bet of 26,000.
Mateusz Moolhuizen took his time before deciding to shove all in. The pressure was back on Shylko, who had to choose whether to risk his tournament life. After a brief tank, Shylko folded, allowing Moolhuizen to scoop a solid pot early in the event.
With around 2,500 chips in the pot on a flop of J♦2♦5♣, Omar Eljach checked it over to Paco Kaplan, who fired a bet of 1,100. Eljach then check-raised to 5,000, and Kaplan called.
A J♥ dropped on the turn and Eljach made an overbet by placing a chip worth 25,000 into the pot. Kaplan called.
When the 8♣ landed on the river, Eljach took a while before he shoved for a little under 70,000. Kaplan removed his sunglasses and stared at Eljach, then after around thirty seconds he made the call.
Eljach tabled 2♣2♥ for a full house, and Kaplan's Q♠J♣ went down in flames, which left him with just one percent of the starting stack. A few hands later, Kaplan hit the rail.
