Tom Arovaara was all in preflop against Giovanni Agliozzo with the bubble just a few players away. Players flipped their cards, with Arovaara at risk.
Tom Arovaara: K♠Q♦
Giovanni Agliozzo: 7♥7♠
The board ran out K♦J♠Q♠8♠5♠. Arovaara made two pair on the flop and then rivered a flush draw to win the pot. He doubled up and survived to potentially make the money.
Elsewhere in the room, play has slowed down considerably and the floor is regularly being called to the table as players attempt to stall their way into the money.
There are 138 players remaining and the tournament will soon go hand for hand.

Right before the absolute bubble, three players were all in, with both Anastasiades and Pfeiffer technically at risk.
Patrick Pfeiffer: K♥K♦
Andreas Anastasiades: A♥A♦
Andres Karlsen: K♣K♠
Although Anastasiades was at risk in terms of his stack, the other two players both had pocket kings and so had each other's outs. But the hand wasn't without sweats.
The board ran out 9♠4♠7♠8♣Q♥. Three spades on the flop brought Karlsen a flush draw. The turn and river bricked out for him, though, and Anastasiades held with his pocket aces to win the pot.
Karlsen took a hit to his stack, but it was Pfeiffer who was eliminated from the tournament in 137th place, just one before the money bubble.

Two hands were frozen on the bubble as players had their all ins called. In the first hand, action was on the river on a board of 7♥6♥Q♥7♠7♦. Nataliia Alkhimova checked and Luc LaFontaine shoved all in.
Alkhimova showed J♥J♦ for a full house with sevens full of jacks. LaFontaine showed A♥Q♣ for a full house with sevens full of queens. He doubled up and the bubble continued.
Immediately, spectators, floor staff and media moved over to the adjacent table, where two players were all in preflop. Tom Arovaara was all in against Florian Ahlmer, with Arovaara at risk.
Tom Arovaara: Q♥Q♣
Florian Ahlmer: J♥J♦
Arovaara was well ahead with his pocket queens against Ahlmer's jacks. However, the board ran out 9♥J♣6♥8♣4♦ to give Ahlmer a set of jacks on the flop.
Arovaara was eliminated on the bubble. The rest of the players have now guaranteed themselves €1,700.

Felix Schneiders raised from middle position and Peter Onnestam three-bet from the button. Schneiders moved all in and Onnestam called. Players flipped their cards and Schneiders was at risk.
Felix Schneiders: 10♥10♠
Peter Onnestam: 9♠9♣
Onnestam had pocket nines and Schneiders had pocket tens. The board ran out 2♥6♥J♠6♣2♠. Neither player improved and so Schneiders held with his pocket tens to double up.

The board ran out Q♥4♦3♣10♦7♥. Vella was ahead preflop, but Andrian pulled it back when he paired up his queen on the flop. The WSOP bracelet winner is still in contention.

Joshua Stewart was all in preflop against Felix Schneiders, who just a few hands ago found a double up. Stewart was at risk as players flipped their cards.
Joshua Stewart: A♦Q♣
Felix Schneiders: A♠A♥
The board ran out 6♦A♣K♣J♦K♦. Stewart was already getting up to leave once the flop had fallen. He did pick up a backdoor straight draw on the turn but didn't manage to complete it on the river.
Schneiders hit a set of aces and piled more chips onto his stack, which now stands at a respectable 360,000.
