The board read 2♣8♣2♥K♠2♦ and around 16,000 was in the middle when Eero Rantala moved all in for 14,100, sending his opponent, David Docherty, into the tank.
Docherty made the call to put Rantala at risk and got the good news when his 9♥8♦ for a full house was sufficient to beat Rantala's A♠6♠ for ace-high.
Marius Johansen limped from under the gun and just behind him, Mohamed Aissani raised to 3,400. Action folded around to Jean-Philippe Kervella in the big blind, who shoved for approximately 15,000 total. Johansen folded and Aissani quickly called to put Kervella at risk.
Jean-Philippe Kervella: A♠J♦
Mohamed Aissani: K♠K♦
Kervella would need some help to survive, but the 7♣8♥9♠6♣4♣ runout was clean for Aissani and Kervella was sent to the rail.
David Docherty had opened in early position and was called by Jose Manuel Gonzalez on the button and Jorge Pardo in the big blind.
On the 6♠4♥7♠ flop Pardo led out with a bet of 7,500, which Docherty called. Action was on Gonzalez, who moved all in for 16,900.
Pardo then re-jammed and, after considering the spot for a couple of minutes, Docherty folded. Gonzalez was at risk.
Jose Manuel Gonzalez: 4♦5♦
Jorge Pardo: 4♠6♣
Gonzalez had bottom pair with an open-ended straight draw, but was in trouble versus Pardo's two pair.
The 9♠2♦ runout did not alter matters and Gonzalez was eliminated, wishing his table well as he exited the tournament area.
Jon Kyte opened to 2,500 first-to-act and was three-bet to 7,500 by Benny Glaser in middle position. It was folded back around to Kyte, who made the call.
Kyte check-called a 6,000 bet from Glaser on the Q♥5♥K♠ flop and a 13,000 bet from Glaser on the 9♣ turn.
Both players checked down on the K♣ river and Kyte tabled A♥Q♦ for kings and queens. Glaser couldn't beat it and mucked — sending the pot Kyte's way.
Level: 10
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
Daniel Neilson opened the button to 2,500 from the button. Jorge Ramella took a little time before shoving roughly 20,000 into the middle, leaving one chip behind.
Neilson contemplated the call for a moment before making the fold.
Bhavin Khatri opened to 2,500 from the cutoff. Action folded around to Nils Pudel who defended the big blind.
Khatri led out for 1,500 on the 2♣Q♠10♠ flop which Pudel reraised to 6,100. Khatri quickly put Pudel all in for roughly 20,000 more. Pudel called and showed K♦Q♥ which dominated Khatri's Q♦8♠.
The 4♣ turn and A♣ river meant that Pudel's top pair had Khatri's outkicked and gave Pudel a double up.
Georgios Skarparis opened to 2,400 from under the gun, and was called by Vasyl Palandiuk in middle position and the blinds.
On the Q♥3♠5♥ flop Skarparis continued with a bet of 5,300 and was called by Palandiuk only.
On the 9♠ turn Skarparis continued with the aggression, firing out a bet of 10,600. After a period of thought, Palandiuk called.
On the 9♦ river Skarparis checked to his opponent, who promptly moved all in for 8,700.
After two minutes of thought, Skarparis made the call.
Palandiuk turned over J♥10♥ for jack-high, his flush draw having missed, while Skarparis turned over A♣4♣, with his ace-high good enough to take a chunky pot and send Palandiuk to the exit.
Michael Doverklint was already all in and at risk for approximately 25,000 on the button and was called by Emmanuel Pialat, who had opened from the cutoff.
Michael Doverklint: A♦A♣
Emmanuel Pialat: Q♥Q♣
It was a cooler for Pialat, and the A♥8♦10♦8♠2♥ runout needlessly improved Doverklint to a full house for the double-up.
Action was picked up on the flop of 2♠3♣9♥ which was checked by Nick Botman and Jerry Odeen in the blinds. Julien Groenendijk from middle position fired a bet of 2,000 which was called by Botman and Odeen.
The 2♣ turn was knuckled around by the trio leading to the J♦ river. Botman led out for 3,500 and got two quick folds from Odeen and Groenendijk which left the Dutchman with the pot.
