Action was picked up with Cem Aygun all in for 1,600 after Frank Calonnec had opened to 600. Action folded round to Calonnec who made the call as the covering stack.
Cem Aygun: K♦7♠
Frank Calonnec: K♠Q♥
The 9♠3♣2♦ flop was safe for Calonnec as was the 2♠ turn. However Aygun survived with the 3♥ on the river as both players had two pair with a king kicker and the pot was chopped.
Action was picked up as the cards were on their backs. Konstantin Farber went all in for 10,400 and was at risk against Gijsbertina Van De Steeg who made the call.
Konstantin Farber: K♦10♦
Gijsbertina Van De Steeg: J♣J♥
The Q♣Q♦8♦ flop gave Farber a flush draw, which came in on the 4♦ turn leaving Farber drawing to a jack or a queen. The 7♠ river confirmed he would get a full double up and stay in the tournament
Maxime Pialat opened to 2,400 from middle position and was called by Marc Trijaud in the small blind and Silvio Costa in the big blind.
It was checked to Pialat on the Q♠Q♣5♣ flop and he bet 2,400. Trijaud folded, but Costa check-raised to 6,400. Pialat called.
The A♣ came on the turn and Costa shoved for his remaining 8,200. Pialat quickly called to put Costa at risk.
Silvio Costa: K♣9♣
Maxime Pialat: Q♦J♠
Costa had turned the nut flush, but still needed to fade the full-house draw of Pialat.
The 6♥ river bricked out and Costa doubled up.
PokerStars Ambassador Alejandro Lococo was short-stacked and moved all in for 12,000, with Michal Polchlopek making the call in the big blind.
Alejandro Lococo: A♥10♠
Michal Polchlopek: A♠K♦
Lococo was in trouble with a dominated ace and the 3♦4♣9♠2♥J♥ runout confirmed his exit.
Level: 9
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
Robert Dascalescu opened to 2,500 from the hijack and David Vital called from the cutoff. Action folded to Jari Mahonen in the big blind, who shoved for a bit over 15,000. Dascalescu folded, but Vital called to put Mahonen at risk.
Jari Mahonen: K♦K♠
David Vital: K♣Q♠
Mahonen was in commanding shape with his kings and the 5♥4♣9♣10♦7♣ runout kept him in front for the double-up.
Dan Larsen opened to 1,800 from under the gun. Action folded to Jean-Louis Perez who called in the hijack and Bruno Martins completed in the big blind.
The J♦3♦6♥ flop was checked around leading to the K♣ turn. Martins checked to Larsen who fired a bet of 2,500. Perez and Martins folded their hands and Larsen took the pot.
Action was picked up on the flop of Q♣2♣3♦ where Alexandre Sako checked in the small blind to Olga Iermolcheva in the big blind. Adrian Andritz from early position elected to bet 3,500. Sako made the call before Iermolcheva jammed all in for 31,700.
Andritz went into the tank for a moment before putting in his chips, and was at risk. Sako folded his hand.
Adrian Andritz: A♦Q♥
Olga Iermolcheva: K♦Q♠
The turn 5♦ was safe for Andritz top pair top kicker, and he held through the 5♣ turn to make two pair with an ace kicker leaving Iermolcheva short stacked.
Dario De Paz opened under the gun and was called by Mahesh Kartik next along. Action folded to Ivan Abramchuk who looked like he was pondering a three-bet but ultimately decided to just call.
Kazuhiko Yotsushika was on the button and produced a three-bet of 7,000. De Paz and Kartik quickly folded but Abramchuk looked skeptical, the spot looking perfect for a button light squeeze.
After some thought, Abramchuk back-jammed for 23,600. Yotsushika didn't like it but clearly felt he was priced in and made a relatively quick call, with Abramchuk at risk.
Ivan Abramchuk: 9♠9♣
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♣10♦
Abramchuk was ahead in a race and remained so after the 8♥3♠4♦7♥7♣ runout, sending him a nice double-up and leaving Yotsushika with crumbs.
David Vital opened to 2,800 from middle position and was called by Youssef Sebbarh in the hijack, Ut Tam Vo in the small blind, and Soraya Estrada in the big blind.
Vo shoved for his last 3,500 on the J♥4♥8♦ flop and only Vital called to put Vo at risk.
Ut Tam Vo: 8♣5♣
David Vital: K♥J♦
Vo was behind with his pair of eights, and the 3♦ turn and 4♣ river kept Vital's pair of jacks in front for the elimination.
