Davide Suriano raised to 25,000 in the hijack before Memik Sezer three-bet to 70,000 in the cutoff. Suriano then moved all in for 300,000 and Sezer snap-called.
Davide Suriano: A♦K♠
Memik Sezer: 6♥6♦
Suriano was racing for his tournament life, but the 3♥J♣2♦3♠6♣ board only improved Sezer to a full house to send Suriano to the rail. Suriano, as was his custom yesterday, let out a series of howls before making his exit.
Stanislav Zegal opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and was called by Pavel Svach on the button before Niklas Astedt squeezed to 90,000 from the small blind. Zegal got out of the way while Svach made the call.
The flop came 2♠3♠8♣ and Astedt fired a 75,000 continuation-bet that was called by Svach.
Astedt fired another barrel for 150,000 on the K♣ turn and once again Svach made the call.
On the A♣ river Astedt bet 250,000 and Svach snap-called.
Astedt was bluffing with Q♦7♦ while Svach had rivered a wheel straight with 5♦4♦ to take down a colossal pot while making a serious dent in Astedt's stack.
Urmo Velvelt made it 20,000 to go under the gun. The action folded to Fabio Peluso in the small blind, who shoved for 123,000. Velvelt made a quick call, tabling the cards.
Fabio Peluso: 10♠10♣
Urmo Velvelt: 4♦4♣
Peluso's superior pair faced no threats on the 2♠5♠Q♦9♠2♥ runout and he pumped his fist as he doubled up.
Dennis Dielmann opened to 25,000 from the hijack with Andrea Ricci and Kees van Brugge calling out of the blinds.
All three players checked a board of 7♥6♥3♥3♦2♠ down to the river before Ricci led out for 75,000 from the small blind. Van Brugge called from the big blind and Dielmann folded.
Ricci turned over A♥4♥ for the flopped nut flush and Van Brugge mucked his hand.
Dariusz Marcinkowski moved all in from the cutoff and Daniel Lakerveld called for 33,000 in the big blind.
Daniel Lakerveld: 9♠8♥
Dariusz Marcinkowski: A♠2♠
Lakerveld didn't have to sweat out the double up for long as the 10♠7♦6♥ flop gave him a straight. The rest of the board ran out 4♦8♣ to lock up the pot.
Arriving on the turn of 2♦7♦K♠2♥, Mateusz Moolhuizen checked from the small blind to David Dongwoo Ko in middle position. Ko added 104,000 to the pot of 185,000, which Moolhuien called.
Moolhuizen checked again on the 10♥ river. Ko spent some time in the tank until the initial 30 seconds of his shot clock ran out. The dealer then mistakenly ruled his action as a check.
The floorman was called over, who rectified the situation. Ko handed over a time bank extension and then checked behind out of his own volition.
"Ace-high," stated Moolhuizen as he turned over A♦3♦ for a busted flush draw.
"I was thinking of bluffing," Ko admitted as he showed Q♥10♠ for a rivered pair to take the pot.
Enrico Camosci raised to 20,000 in the cutoff before Frederik Thiemer three-bet to 60,000 on the button. Camosci then moved all in for 635,000 and Thiemer folded.
A few hands later, Thiemer raised to 20,000 under the gun and Camosci called in the big blind.
The flop came K♥Q♠3♣ and Thiemer continued for 27,000. Camosci called and the 9♦ turn was checked through.
The 5♥ fell on the river and Thiemer resumed betting, putting out 55,000. Camosci closed his eyes, used up a time bank, then emerged with a raise to 240,000. Thiemer again quickly folded.
In a preflop confrontation Daniel Lakerveld was all in for 132,000 from the small blind and up against Cristian Visoiu who had slightly less in the big blind.
Cristian Visoiu: A♠A♥
Daniel Lakerveld: K♠K♣
Lakerveld was on the wrong side of the ultimate preflop cooler and couldn't cracak Visoiu's aces on the 6♥4♥9♠9♣A♦ runout. Lakerveld was left with less than one big blind while Visoiu took the pot.
Alex Foxen opened to 20,000 from under the gun and called when Andrea Ricci three-bet to 70,000 from the cutoff.
Foxen check-called for 40,000 on the A♠7♠5♣ flop, bringing in the 9♦ turn. Foxen check-jammed over a bet of 140,000 and Ricci snap-called to set up a more than one million chip pot.
Alex Foxen: 7♥7♦
Andrea Ricci: A♦A♣
Both players flopped a set, but Ricci's superior three-of-a-kind left Foxen drawing to one out. The 5♥ river improved both players to a full house but it wasn't the card Foxen needed and he headed out of the tournament room while Ricci took the chip lead.
Boris Angelov, who was at the table, said Foxen started the hand with around 500,000 to 550,000, meaning Foxen's all-in was north of 400,000.
Andrea Ricci
On the table behind, fellow high roller Viktor Blom also chipped down after dropping a pot. With around 210,000 in the middle on the 9♣5♥2♠7♣9♥ board, Eyal Bensimhon fired out 110,000 from the big blind. Blom used up a time bank before conceding the pot.
