In a pot of roughly 850,000, Jonas Lapinskas bet 325,000 from the small blind on a 5♥J♥4♥10♣ turn. Julian Selinger was on the button and raised his opponent all in for 1,100,000. Lapinskas called to be put at risk.
Jonas Lapinskas: A♥A♣
Julian Selinger: K♥Q♥
Selinger had flopped a flush to leapfrog Lapinskas' aces. Lapinskas still had a chance at a higher flush, but the river came the black 5♣ to send him home with cracked aces.
Sergei Bogdanov, fully clad in yellow, three-bet shoved his stack of 325,000 in over David Marfil's open-raise of 80,000. Marfil called once it had folded back to him.
Sergei Bogdanov: K♥J♥
David Marfil: A♦J♦
Bogdanov received no help on the 2♣2♥10♣2♠ flop and turn, save for some chop outs, and the A♣ river sealed his fate as Marfil filled up to secure the knockout.
After some preflop action, Robin Vanloot reraised to 600,000 on the button, leaving only 125,000 behind. Big blind Egidijus Matonis then four-bet all in, and Matonis quickly called.
Robin Vanloot: A♠9♦
Egidijus Matonis: A♦A♣
It was a hopeless situation for Vanloot as he was drawing dead after the 6♦10♣6♣Q♥ turn. He said his goodbyes to the table as the meaningless K♣ river completed the board, and departed the tournament area shortly after.
Fehim Hajdari and David Marfil had created a pot of 1,100,000 when they arrived on the 6♠5♦J♣6♣ turn. Hajdari bet 160,000 from middle position, and Marfil called on the button
Hajdari slowed down on the 8♠ turn and checked. Marfil bet 225,000 in response, winning him the pot as Hajdari gave up and mucked.
Ben Gur pushed in his last 250,000 on the button, and he was quickly called by Albert Ostrovskij in the big blind.
Ben Gur: A♠4♦
Albert Ostrovskij: A♥Q♣
Gur turned a wheel draw on 6♣2♦8♦3♠, but the 2♠ river paired the board to grant the pot to Ostrovskij and eliminate Gur.
Egidijus Matonis raised to 80,000 under the gun. Feras Abid placed a small three-bet to 190,000 in the hijack, which Matonis called.
Matonis then check-raised Abid's continuation-bet of 120,000 to 310,000 on the 9♠7♥4♣ flop. Abid called, after which the Q♥ turn checked through to the 2♦ river.
Matonis re-engaged with a bet of 150,000. Abid snap-called, but he could not beat Matonis' 10♦10♣, and he sent his cards towards the muck.
Adem Can three-bet jammed his 330,000 in on the button, and initial raiser Sampo Ryynanen looked him up in early position.
Adem Can: 10♦10♣
Sampo Ryynanen: A♣K♦
Ryynanen flopped trips on K♠K♣2♥ for a big lead, and he locked up the pot by making a full house on the A♦ turn. The 2♦ river was rendered meaningless as Can had already said his goodbyes to the table.
Patrick Pedersen raised to 230,000 under the gun, leaving about 40,000 back. Rasmus Lundström then raised to 410,000 in middle position, and Pedersen called after spending a few seconds tanking for a pay jump.
Patrick Pedersen: Q♥10♦
Rasmus Lundström: A♥K♠
Pedersen started complimenting the dealer, but it was no use as the J♦4♥2♥3♥4♠ board did not improve his hand. He was eliminated mere seconds after Andrejs Stenickins at another table, meaning he received the pay increase.
Not much later, Dmitri Dudakov also busted.
