Wagner Ripper opened 1,200 in the hijack, and Sylvain Loosli three-bet 4,000 on the button. The action folded back around to Ripper and he made the call.
When the J♣8♠5♥ flop hit the felt, Ripper checked and Loosli continued for 5,000. Ripper considered it for a moment before tossing his cards into the muck.
Ludovic Heude opened to 1,300 from early position and was three-bet to 6,000 by Diego Montone in middle position. Action folded back around to Heude, who called.
Both players checked on the 9♣10♣Q♠ flop and Heude led out for 8,000 on the A♠ turn. Montone called.
The 7♥ completed the board and Heude quickly fired 16,000 into the middle. Montone decided to look him up and Heude mucked his hand. Montone also mucked without showing and collected the pot.
Tom Kunze opened in middle position to 1,400 and Nazar Buhaiov called in the small blind.
Michael Jozoff was in the big blind, and produced a three-bet to 6,200. Kunze folded quickly. Buhaiov pondered his options for a moment, counted his stack, and moved the rest of his chips into the middle, around 23,000 total. Jozoff made the quick call, with Buhaiov at risk.
Nazar Buhaiov: A♣J♥
Michael Jozoff: Q♣Q♠
Buhaiov only had one overcard versus Jozoff's pair and although he flopped a straight draw on K♣3♠Q♦, Jozoff improved to a set of queens.
Buhaiov was now drawing to a ten and it did not arrive on the 8♥7♣ turn and river.
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and Danilo Velasevic was at risk for 14,600 against Ka Kwan Lau with both hands face up.
Danilo Velasevic: A♦Q♥
Ka Kwan Lau: 3♥3♦
It was a coinflip situation and Velasevic smashed the A♠Q♣4♦ flop. He was able to avoid the three as the board completed with the 4♣ turn, and 6♦ river.
There was around 27,000 in the middle on a board of 4♦8♠2♠7♠10♠ and Saar Wilf had checked to his opponent, Tibor Nagygyorgy.
Nagygyorgy moved all in for just over 20,000, which covered Wilf's remaining stack of 11,400.
Wilf thought it over for a bit, and didn't look overly pleased when he put in his calling chips with a sigh.
However Nagygyorgy turned over A♣5♣ for air while Wilf had Q♠J♠ for the queen-high flush, which he was obviously concerned had been overtaken by the fourth spade on the river. Fortunately for him that was not the case and he raked in a nice pot.
Justin Steinbrenner opened to 1,400 first-to-act and was three-bet to 5,000 by Pablo Brito Silva on the button. It was folded back to Steinbrenner, who called.
Steinbrenner checked to Silva on the A♦9♦7♥ flop and he bet 2,500. Steinbrenner then check-raised to 8,000 and Silva called.
The dealer brought the 8♠ on the turn and Steinbrenner bet 15,000. Silva announced he was all in and Steinbrenner snap-called all in for around 30,000 total to put himself at risk.
Justin Steinbrenner: 7♦7♣
Pablo Brito Silva: A♠A♥
Steinbrenner let out a groan after seeing he was drawing to one out.
The 3♦ river kept Silva ahead with his set of aces and Steinbrenner was eliminated.
