Byron Kaverman was under the gun and betting 32,000 when we got to his table. On the felt: 
. Kaverman's opponent, big blind Valentin Messina, called. Messina checked a 
on the river, and Kaverman cut out 37,000. The bet was barely pushed in before Messina flicked in a chip to call. Kaverman showed 
but Messina had better: 
.
The three hefty stacks at the table decided to get involved in a hand and action went right to the river.
In a pot with about 60,000 in the middle already, on a board reading 
, Rasmus Glæsel checked out of the small blind.
Nick Maimone was in the big blind and bet 35,000. Pascal Lefrancois was under the gun and went into the tank before asking for confirmation on the amount. He eventually called.
Action was back on Glæsel and he moved around in his chair with an uncomfortable look on his face. He looked back at his cards several times before opting to fold.
Maimone flashed the 
and said, "Just a four", prompting Lefrancois to table his 
for a pair of tens.
As Lefrancois was raking in the pot he asked Glæsel, "Ace-six? Something like that?" To which Glæsel replied, "No. Frickin' ace-jack."
Thomas Muehlemann shoved all in for 40,500 in middle position. Hendrik Latz called a couple of seats down, and everyone else folded. Latz was in a dominating spot with 
and Muehlemann needed help with 
. The 
didn't bring much for Muehlemann but a turn gave him a chance to chop. It wouldn't be so as a hit the river.

Murad Akhundov raised to 10,000 from the hijack and Brian England three-bet all in for 34,000 from the button. After both blinds folded, Akhundov snap-called.
Akhundov: 
England: 
It was a flip, but England needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out an unhelpful 
.
Sylvain Loosli was not down for long, and has doubled back into contention after getting some chips off Luc Greenwood.
Loosli was all-in preflop with 
and was racing for his tournament life, with 135,000 over the line. Greenwood held 
and the board of 
gave Loosli a valuable double-up and dropped Greenwood right back down the pecking order.
James Tian raised to 9,000 under the gun and action folded to Massimo De Mario, who three-bet to 26,500 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Tian, and he thought for a bit before moving all in for right around 125,000. De Mario snap-called.
Tian:
De Mario:
It was a cooler for Tian, and it cost him his tournament life after a king failed to appear on a 
runout.
Chance Kornuth bet 8,500 from the button on a 
flop, and small blind Ami Alibay check-raised to about 20,000. Kornuth called, and the 
paired the board. After some time, Kornuth asked the dealer why he was looking at him, unaware that his opponent had checked. Kornuth laughed upon being told the situation and then bet 23,500. Alibay called and checked the river. Kornuth shoved all in and Alibay immediately folded.
Francois Billard doubled up a few hands ago and already had his chips in the middle for the second time today. Billard moved all in from late position for 47,000 and Raul Martinez called from the small blind.
Martinez:
Billard: 
The flop came 
, putting Billard ahead with a pair of jacks.
The turn was the 
and Martinez grabbed the lead back with a pair of aces. The river was the and Billard was sent to the rail.
With a full board of 
and around 200,000 in the pot, Sylvain Loosli was faced with a bet of 132,000 from Tony Tran, the last of his chips.
Loosli, a French professional known for finishing fourth in the 2013 WSOP Main Event (an event fellow player in this event Ryan Reiss won), also won a Super High Roller on the EPT just eighteen months ago for his second seven-figure score. Any top four finish here will put him over the $6 million mark in live tournament earnings, but when he called and showed his flush with 
, he had to hand over those chips to Tran, whose flush was better.
Tran moves up to 458,000, but Loosli has some work with just thirty big blinds to his name.
