Players in the €25,000 Super High Roller Warm-Up have decided not to take their 75-minute dinner break. There will be a 20-minute break instead. There are now just 16 players left in contention and the top six will be paid.
Lander Lijo raised to 24,000 from the button and Maksim Vaskresenski moved all in from the small blind for 98,000. Lijo made the call and had Vaskresenski well covered as players flipped their cards.
Maksim Vaskresenski: 4♥4♠
Lander Lijo: A♣J♠
It was a fair fight, but Lijo paired his jack on the flop on a board of J♦7♠2♥10♥10♦, making two pair with the tens on board. He won the pot and Vaskresenski was eliminated.
Ilia Pavlov raised to 24,000 from the hiajck and Roman Hrabec called in the cutoff.
The Q♣A♦4♣ flop checked through to the 5♥ on the turn.
Pavlov retook the lead for 40,000 and Hrabec called.
The 3♣ river saw Pavlov size up to 61,000. Hrabec made a quick call. Pavlov reluctantly tabled 10♥8♥, while Hrabec won this pot with A♠10♣, for top pair.
Action folded around to Ilia Pavlov, who raised to 36,000 from the small blind. Michail Manolakis called in the big blind and the hand went to the flop.
The flop was dealt 5♠10♥2♥ and Manolakis continued for 40,000, which Pavlov called. Both players then checked it back on the 6♥ turn.
The river came the A♣ and Manolakis fired out a bet of 85,000. Pavlov called but was disappointed to see his opponent turn over A♥9♥ for the nut flush. Pavlov mucked and Manolakis pulled in the pot.
Espen Jorstad raised to 24,000 from the cutoff, Steve O'Dwyer three-bet jammed for 170,000 from middle position and Jorstad called.
Steve O'Dwyer: K♠Q♠
Espen Jorstad: A♦10♦
Jorstad was ahead and the 4♦6♥A♣ flop put him further out in front. The Q♦ gave O'Dwyer a sweat but the K♦ wasn't one of his outs, giving Jorsatd a flush to send him to the rail.

The pot had grown to around 150,000 with two players looking at a board of 2♦10♠4♣K♠.
Enrico Camosci, in the big blind, checked and then called a bet of 75,000 from Niklas Astedt, in the cutoff.
The 9♦ river saw Camosci check again. Astedt sized up to 180,000 and Camosci went deep into the tank.
Camosci used two time bank chips before making the call. Astedt tabled A♦10♣ for a pair of tens, but Camosci rolled over K♥10♦ for the winner. Astedt mucked his cards, visibly confused by Camosci's tanking. Camosci verbalized his reasons for the tank, out of earshot, and Astedt conceded the pot in agreeance.
On an adjacent table, Mario Navarro Arrocha was seen leaving the tournament floor.
Steve O'Dwyer raised to 22,000 from late position and Artsiom Lasouski called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♥9♣K♣ and Lasouski checked. O'Dwyer made a continuation bet of 30,000 and Lasouski made a check-raise for 80,000, more than half of his stack. O'Dwyer plonked the rest in the middle and Lasouski called for 60,000 more. The cards were turned.
Artsiom Lasouski: K♦9♥
Steve O'Dwyer: Q♣10♠
O'Dwyer had second pair with backdoor straight outs and Lasouski was ahead with two pair, kings and nines.
The turn came the 3♦ and river the 5♥, both blanks, so Lasouski held to win the pot, doubling up his stack.
