In the first hand back from the break, a short-stacked Jens Lakemeier shoved all in under the gun for 125,000 and Sam Greenwood, who was seated to his direct left, just called. The rest of the field cleared out and the cards were turned up.

Greenwood:
The flop paired Greenwood's ace, but it also delivered Lakemeier a flush draw. He had two pulls at a diamond, but neither the turn nor river was what he was looking for. With Lakemeier's elimintion in 21st place, the remaining 20 players are guaranteed a minimum €23,960 payday.
The PokerStars Blog was on hand to witness a curious case of clock calling earlier today in the Main Event.
As Nick Wright explained:
"Never before had I seen the clock called on the flop because the pre-flop caller (not the aggressor) had taken too long to act. More specifically when that player was first to act so therefore facing no previous action on that street."
Alen Bilic opened under the gun for 32,000 and action folded to Giulio Spampinato in the small blind. Spampinato three bet to 85,000 and Bilic called.
The flop came and Spampinato bet out 110,000. Bilic called. Spampinato checked on the turn, and called as Bilic bet 77,000. The completed the board and Spampinato bet out 130,000. Bilic thought about it for a bit before he raised to 350,000. Spampinato called.
