Nikolaos Lampropulos raised and Shawn Stroke then potted from the next seat. The initial raiser and former big stack glanced at the tournament info before he eventually four-bet shoved and Stroke instantly called all-in.
Shawn Stroke: A♣Q♦10♣9♦
Nikolaos Lampropulos: K♦K♥4♠3♥
The board ran out J♠8♦5♥10♥7♠ and the third place finisher of last year doubled, piling more misery on Lampropulos.
Glib Karpov was already all in as Pascal Heinrichs and Wing Liu built a side pot on a board of 2♠7♠10♦3♣.
Heinrichs then moved all in for around 45,000 in the big blind as Liu, with around 35,000 remaining on the button, tanked for a minute before mucking.
Karpov then turned over A♣K♥K♠10♣, but Heinrichs had J♥9♠7♣2♥ for two pair. The river came the 8♥ and Karpov was sent to the rail.
Matthias Wieser led out for 15,000 from the big blind on a flop of 10♥7♣K♣ and Salih Atac called in middle position.
The turn came the 5♥ and they got the rest of Wieser's 28,000 in the middle. Wieser showed Q♣J♠5♣4♣ for a straight draw, but Atac turned over K♦K♠Q♠5♠ for top set.
The river brought the 9♥ and Wieser completed his straight as Atac let out a loud groan before handing over the pot.
Tobias Eckl was all-in for the last 5,400 on the flop and Quirin Zech called with the board showing K♠K♦9♥.
Tobias Eckl: J♣J♥9♦6♥
Quirin Zech: A♣10♦9♣8♥
The 7♦ turn and 8♠ river kept Eckl in contention as he doubled with a straight.
Mats Nylander and Pierre Erbland were heads-up on a flop of 10♣8♥2♠ when Nylander bet 17,000 from the small blind.
Erbland called and the 2♣ fell on the turn. Nylander quickly pushed the rest of his stack forward, a bet totaling 31,000.
Erbland went into the tank for several minutes before tossing his hand away. Despite dropping that pot, the fourth time appears to be the charm for Erbland as he's up to around 130,000 on his fourth bullet of the day.
In a duel small blind versus button, Hertsel Sakhai raised to 6,500 and Aaron Duczak came along to see the 10♠10♥5♥ flop. Sakhai continued for 3,000 to earn a call and then bet the 6♠ turn for 12,500, Duczak instantly folded.
Marc Palatzky was in the big blind and tossed out a bet on a flop of 7♥2♣5♠ and Cosmin Timbus then moved all in for 23,000 on the button. Palatzky quickly called with his big stack.
Cosmin Timbus: A♥K♠J♠7♣
Marc Palatzky: 10♥7♦6♣5♥
Palatzky had flopped two pair to take the lead to the 6♥ turn, which improved him to sevens and sixes. The river came the Q♦ and Timbus was sent to the rail.
Nível: 8
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
With around 25,000 in the pot, Nino Rakita got his last 20,000 in the middle from the cutoff on a flop of 5♣4♥4♣ and was up against Namhyung Kim in the small blind.
Nino Rakita: Q♥Q♣6♦2♠
Namhyung Kim: J♥9♥5♠4♠
Rakita showed two queens, but Kim had flopped a full house and left Rakita needing help on the turn and river. None came on the 5♦A♦ runout as Kim took the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.
