Anthony Apicella moved all in for 14,000 from the big blind and Oliver Huber called in the hijack.
Anthony Apicella: 2♥2♦ 
Oliver Huber: A♣J♥
The flop came 5♣10♥A♠ to give Huber the lead with a pair of aces. Apicella couldn't catch up on the Q♦ turn or 8♠ river and was sent to the rail.
Tamas Balogh and Felix Schneiders were heads-up on a board of 6♣5♦3♠4♠Q♣ and nearly 20,000 in the pot. Balogh then bet 10,000 from middle position.
"Do you have seven-eight? Sevens?" Schneiders asked Balogh, who replied that he had seven-eight. Schneiders then called.
Balogh showed 9♠7♠ for a straight and Schneiders mucked. "Good man," tablemate Charles St. Germain said.
"Honest man," another tablemate added.
"Not 100 percent honest. He said he had seven-eight, which was a lie," Schneiders joked as Balogh took in the pot.
Gerard Fenech opened to 2,000 from the hijack before Antonio Rutigliano three-bet to an unconventional sizing of 12,000 from the small blind. Fenech made the call, bringing in the 8♠7♠8♥ flop. Rutigliano, with around 20,000, continued for 4,500. Fenech raised to put his opponent all in and after some time in the tank, Rutigliano committed the last of his chips.
Antonio Rutigliano: A♥K♦
Gerard Fenech: Q♠Q♣
Rutigliano need to pair up to stay in contention, but found himself on the wrong side of the rail after the 2♣ turn and 9♦ river.
Dimitrios Nanos was in the hijack and got his last 27,000 in the middle before the flop against Ihor Kotyk in the big blind.
Dimitrios Nanos: J♦J♣
Ihor Kotyk: A♦K♦
The board ran out 4♦9♣6♥10♦J♥ and Nanos finished with a set on the river to win the coin flip and double up.
PokerStars Ambassador Alejandro Lococo opened to 1,700 from under the gun and was called by Loic Pailler from the button. Dimitrios Nanos and Claude Martinez also called from the blinds.
Lococo continued for 4,900 on the K♦7♠3♦ flop before Pailler confidently moved his stack of around 25,000 into the middle. Nanos and Martinez quickly folded and Lococo also returned his cards to the dealer.
Joao Sydenstricker moved all in for around 10,000 in the small blind and Jose Manuel Monosis put him at risk from the hijack.
Joao Sydenstricker: K♥J♦
Jose Manuel Monosis: K♠Q♣
"Just a miracle now," Sydenstricker said after finding out he was dominated. The flop came 3♠7♠Q♦ and Monosis pulled further ahead with top pair.
"No miracle," Sydenstricker said as the board ran out 3♣10♠, sending last year's EPT Barcelona runner-up to the rail.
Jack O'Neill raised to 1,700 in the hijack, Mateusz Moolhuizen three-bet to 5,400 on the button, and O'Neill called.
The flop came K♦8♦7♠ and Moolhuizen bet 3,200. O'Neill again called.
Both players checked the 10♠ turn and the 6♣ fell on the river. O'Neill then led out for 6,000 and Moolhuizen peeked back at his cards before sending them into the muck.
