Ludovic Geilich was all in for 33,000 from early position and up against Paul Ephremsen under the gun.
Ludovic Geilich: A♠A♥
Paul Ephremsen: K♣Q♣
Geilich was poised for a double up with his aces as the 3♠10♥10♦ flop completely missed Ephremsen. He was already drawing dead by the 7♣ turn, and Geilich secured the double on the 6♦ river.
Not so fortunate were the likes of Keith Littlewood, Tom Middleton, and Dean Hutchison, who were recently eliminated.

Dawid Chmiel moved all in for 33,000 in early position and action folded around to Ryan Otto, who called in the big blind.

Both players hit a pair on the A♦Q♣3♠ flop, but Chmiel remained in front with his pair of aces. The board ran out 7♣J♥ and Otto doubled up another player, dropping down to 150,000 after starting the day with 366,000.

A pot of around 100,000 was already in the middle as Nathan Jones and Matthew Eardley went to the river on a board of 7♦J♣5♦K♥3♣. Eardley, on the button, then bet another 100,000.
Jones burned through multiple time banks before he mucked, surrendering the big pot. Tablemate Aaron Barone then arrived with 888poker bags for the table.
"At this point it's not just a bribe. It's more of a gift," Barone joked. The table didn't seem to appreciate the gift, though, as Barone was eliminated shortly afterward.
At the same time at another table, Ryan Otto bet 35,000 from early position on a board of 7♦Q♣3♦J♣K♣ and Michalis Michael then moved all in for 104,000 in the hijack.
It was Otto's turn to use some time banks, tossing in three of them before calling with K♥Q♠. Michael, though, had J♦J♠ for a set to double up in the massive pot.

Heads-up on a board of 9♠Q♣10♥3♠, Brandon Harris bet 17,500 from middle position and Francis Obadun called on the button.
The river came the 7♣ and Harris spent a minute shuffling his time bank cards in his hand before using one and betting 31,000. Obadun quickly called, then mucked when Harris showed Q♦9♦ for two pair to win the pot.

In a blind versus blind confrontation, Lucia Navarro led out for 8,000 on a board of 4♥3♥Q♣Q♦ and Florin Gavilrescu called.
The river came the 10♠ and Navarro checked over to Gavrilescu, who bet 16,000. As 888poker cameras began to surround the table, Navarro then moved all in for 66,500.
Gavrilescu used up two time bank cards before he called. Navarro then showed 4♠4♦ for a full house and Gavrilescu flashed Q♠7♠ before mucking.

Florian Duta was one of the players who reentered at the start of the day, and on his first hand he moved all in for his starting stack of 30,000 and Daniel Laidlaw called.
Florian Duta: A♥10♥
Daniel Laidlaw: A♣J♣
The J♦8♥Q♥ flop had something for both players as Laidlaw paired his jack, but Duta picked up straight and flush draws. The turn was the 3♠, while Duta whiffed the 10♠ river and was quickly sent to the rail.
