On the button, Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 8,500 and Aviv Meiri called in the small blind. Tomas Soderstrom had other plans in the big blind and three-bet to 29,000. Troyanovskiy called, while Meiri sent his cards into the muck.
The flop came and Soderstrom checked, Troyanovskiy bet 20,500 and was called. After the turn, Soderstrom checked again and Troyanovskiy's bet of 50,500 did the trick to force a fold.
Over on table one, Martin Staszko raised to 8,500 and Vlado Banicevic three-bet to 22,500 from one seat over on the button. Andreas Samuelsson carefully checked his stack and took his time before moving all in. Staszko quickly folded, but Banicevic eventually called after more than two minutes.

The board ran out and Samuelsson completed a full house. The stacks were counted and the Swede had 123,600, his opponent was covered by only two big blinds. Banicevic left the table with a few curse words and the field will now combine to one table when the hand at the other table is finished.
Aviv Meiri raised to 12,000 from under the gun and Tomas Soderstrom called from one seat over in the cutoff. On the flop, Meiri continued for 22,000 and was called before the turn slowed down Meiri, who checked. Soderstrom now made it 28,000 to go and picked up a call before Meiri checked the river.
Soderstrom moved all in for 103,900 and Meiri spent two minutes in the think tank. The shove was for most of his stack, and Meiri then called to get shown by Soderstrom. Meiri only had for top pair and lost a huge portion of his stack.
Andreas Samuelsson raised to 8,500 from early position and short stack Andreas Eiler moved all in from two seats over. The rest of the table folded and Samuelsson gave it some thought before eventually calling, having witnessed several pushes by Eiler on the table before.

Aviv Meiri shoved once for his last 28,600 but none of the opponents was willing to call. The players were then sent into their next 15-minute break of the day, in which the T-100 chips will be raced off. New T-25,000 chips will be introduced as well.
Aviv Meiri chipped up slightly and then Andreas Eiler open-shoved the small blind to take from Vladimir Troyanovskiy, who folded the big blind.
Soon after, Troyanovskiy raised to 10,500 on the button and Jonas Lauck called in the big blind. On the flop, Lauck check-called a continuation bet worth 10,000 before the duo checked through the turn. Lauck took the lead by betting the river for 11,000 and Troyanovskiy folded.
Viliyan Petleshkov defended his big blind against a raise by Vladimir Troyanovskiy and check-folded a flop of to the continuation bet of the Russian. Right after, a big clash would take place that cost Andreas Samuelsson more than half of his stack.
Samuelsson raised to 10,500 and Andreas Eiler three-bet to 27,500. The action folded back to Samuelsson, who asked "how much did you start with?" Eiler counted his remaining stack, for around 90,000 behind, and Samuelsson then announced all in. Within less than a second, Eiler called and that was a bad sign for Samuelsson.
