Stanislav Barshak had raised preflop from the button and called Ronald Keijzer's three-bet, leading to a pot of 200,000 when the flop of 3♣2♣4♦ was dealt.
Keijzer continued for 70,000, which Barshak raised to 200,000. Keijzer then quickly jammed all in and received a snap fold from Barhsak, taking it down.
Action was picked up with Ronald Keijzer in the small blind and Jesse Lonis in the big blind with a sizable pot building between the two of them.
The board read 5♦J♠4♣8♥ and Keijzer bet 67,000, which Lonis quickly called.
On the river 10♥, Keijzer bet 165,000 which saw Lonis raise to 365,000 and Keijzer tossed his hand into the muck.
David "ODB" Baker opened to 12,000 and was called by Thomas Pohnke and Pavel Plesuv to see a flop of 9♣4♦A♠.
The action checked to Baker and he continued for 29,000 and was called only by Plesuv to continue to the turn 4♠.
Plesuv checked once more and Baker fired for 55,000, which prompted a quick fold from Plesuv.
In a pot of 310,000 chips, Francisco Benitez's stack of 475,000 was pushed in the middle from the small blind on a board of K♦3♥8♣5♥, and he was looked up by Jonathan Bowers in the hijack.
Benitez showed K♥K♣7♥7♣ for top set and a flush draw, and he won the pot when the 9♥ river upgraded him to a flush, doubling him up to a seven-figure stack.
Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Uri Reichenstein in the cutoff and Elior Sion in the small blind.
The flop rolled out 2♠7♥K♥ and Sion bet 90,000 which saw Reichenstein move all in for 180,000 which Sion called.
Uri Reichenstein: J♠J♦7♦7♣
Elior Sion: K♣K♦Q♦10♣
The board ran out 9♠3♦ and the set of kings was good for Sion to eliminate Reichenstein from the tournament.
Christopher Roth raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and Renji Mao defended his big blind. The flop fell 9♠J♥7♠ and Mao check-raised Roth all in for 78,000 chips.
Roth made the call as the cards hit their backs.
Christopher Roth: A♣K♠10♥8♣
Renji Mao: Q♠10♦5♥3♠
Roth had flopped the nuts, and they held up on the 2♥6♥ runout to double up.
Zachary Grech in the big blind had committed most of his chips preflop against Martin Zamani in the small blind. Grech's final 50,000 or so chips flew in on the Q♣4♦5♥ flop as the players showed down.
Zachary Grech: A♠J♣5♣4♥
Martin Zamani: Q♠10♦3♦2♠
Grech had flopped two pair and remained safe on the 7♦ turn. The 2♥ river gave Zamani a higher two pair, however, and he eliminated his neighbor from the tournament.
On other tables, Daniel Hachem and Pedro Velasco were also eliminated.
On a head-up turn of 2♦3♥9♣7♦, Jonathan Bowers led for 70,000 and was called by Ruslan Nazarenko to his left.
The river fell the 6♦ and Bowers checked to Nazarenko, who fired out a bet of 50,000 and Bowers quickly tossed out a call.
"Agh, you're good, I just have queens," Nazarenko sighed and flashed AxQxQx7x while Bowers tabled 10♦9♠8♠6♣ for a straight to take down the pot.
