It was a classic race and it went the way of the over cards as the board ran .
Artem Romanov pushed all in from the button for 147,000. The small blind folded after some thinking but Stephen Chidwick called after asking for (and receiving) a count.

"I thought you again had something like six or seven again" Elzar told his neighbor Georgios Sotiropoulos. But this time around the Greek player didn't have a mediocre connector but a powerhouse: . Sotiropoulos had raised from the small blind and had called the shove from Elzar in the big blind. Elzar showed and would not hit: . Another one bites the dust, Elazar finishes in 39th place for €18,400.
In a big three way all in Ana Marquez was rather unfortunate just now.
Zdravko Duvnjak had pushed the button, Szabolcs Mayer went for it from the small blind and Ana Marquez in the big blind made the call to put them both at risk. Marquez had the best hand with . Mayer was second best with en Duvnjak had .
The was good for Duvnjak, the last Dutch player in the field. The fell on the turn and on the river. Aces and fives for Duvnjak who with that eliminated Mayer and doubled through a now short stacked Ana Marquez.
A huge crowd of media and players who were on the break from the €10,000 High Roller were gathered round Ana Marquez's table as a huge pot was going on. Marquez was all-in for 289,000 on the river of a 6d] board. There was around 230,000 in the pot and Tamer Kamel was the player in the tank.
He had around 830,000 back and asked Marquez if she'd show if he folded. "I could tell you afterwards, but I doubt I'll show," she replied. Eventually Kamel opted to preserve his stack and he folded.
Julian Track looked extremely happy with himself and well he might as he now has a stack of 1,800,000 after eliminating Ari Engel.
There was already over 500,000 in the pot by the time the players reached the river of a board, Engel (small blind) announced that he was all-in. Track (button) requested a count, it was 411,000 total for him to call, so almost 50% of his stack. He counted out the call and then his remaining chips and then announced call.
Engel didn't show immediately, so Track figured he had the winner and slammed on the felt and he did as Engel showed as he exited the tournament.
This hand happened on the live stream and was the biggest hand of the tournament so far. From under-the-gun+2 Craig Burke opened to 24,000 from stack of 1,100,000 and Lasell King three-bet to 71,000 from the small blind from a stack of 1,300,000 and Burke made the call.
On the flop King c-bet 85,000 and Burke smooth called. The fell on the turn, King didn't slow down, he fired a second barrel, this time 190,000 and again Burke called. So there was now 720,000 in the pot before the hit the river. King Set Burke all-in for his final 780,000. Burke tanked for over four minutes, Theo Jorgensen was in the booth and thought that King's bet would make Burke lay down any queen because King had overbet the pot. He though King would bet smaller for value. But after four minutes Burke made the call, King showed and Burke [Qq] and a huge 2,490,000 pot went the way of King.
