Luis Rodriguez Cruz looked up the short stack shove by Konstantyn Holskyi, who grabbed his phone to film the upcoming showdown.
Konstantyn Holskyi: A♦K♣
Luis Rodriguez Cruz: K♥J♥
The board ran out 10♣7♣6♣2♦3♠ and Holskyi doubled for 10,700.
"Would you re-enter if you lose?" another player at the table asked and Holskyi shook his head. "Not possible, I already used three entries."
A short-stacked Stoyan Madanzhiev put his hopes on the Ax9x and was up against Clement Michaud with the K♦K♣. The 10♥5♠3♦7♦10♦ board failed to improve Madanzhiev and he was knocked out. Further assorted stack sizes from nearby tables can be found below.
In a duel cutoff versus button, the 2023 WSOP Europe Main Event champion Max Neugebauer checked and then called a bet worth 3,500 by Peter Majoros on the J♠5♦2♠ flop. The same action repeated for 10,000 on the 10♥ turn and Neugebauer also checked the J♦ river.
Majoros now bet 35,000, which covered the stack of Neugebauer. A brief tank followed and Neugebauer settled on a call, then Imad Derwiche requested if one card could be shown.
Majoros agreed and asked "which one?" after which Neugebauer pointed at the left card. Majaros flipped over the 10♦ before collecting the pot.
Adrian Mateos opened to 2,700 on the button and was called by Lukas Hafner in the big blind.
Hafner check-called an 1,800 bet from Mateos on the A♦5♦5♠ flop and Hafner checked again on the 8♥ turn. Mateos overbet the pot for a 15,200 bet and Hafner thought it over for some time before deciding to make the call.
The Q♦ completed the board and Hafner checked a final time. Mateos took a bit of time and deciding to check back, prompting Hafner to table A♥6♠ for aces and fives.
Mateos couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Hafner.
On the three-way turn of K♦J♦3♥10♣, Christina Solli check-called a bet of 3,000 by Gediminas Uselis while Hans Bosman was already all-in and awaited his fate. Solli then led the 9♦ river for 7,000 and Uselis folded.
Solli showed her Q♦10♦ for a straight flush and the 6♠3♣ of Bosman were no good, as he was ruled out of the tournament.

Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 2,500 from an early position and received no fewer than three callers. Silius Moll then jammed for 26,600 in the small blind and one opponent after the other folded. David Dahan on the button, however, came along with the covering stack.
Silius Moll: K♣Q♣
David Dahan: A♦J♠
The suited king got there thanks to the 10♦6♣5♦3♣5♣ board as Moll hit running clubs for the double.
