Gerald Karlic opened to 240,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Ihor Prokopchuk shoved for approximately 2,500,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back over to Karlic, who called to put Prokopchuk at risk.
Ihor Prokopchuk: A♠Q♥
Gerald Karlic: 8♣8♠
It was a fair fight, but the 7♦7♥4♥5♥6♦ runout left Karlic best with a straight and Prokopchuk was eliminated.
Moments after Lasse Hansen doubled up through him, Martin Kabrhel raised to 495,000 from the hijack and he was called by Vaclav Drbal who opened from middle position.
On a flop of 4♥9♣A♣, Drbal bet 120,000 and Kabrhel called with the single chip worth 5,000 he had left.
Martin Kabrhel: 8♥8♣
Vaclav Drbal: A♠K♦
Drbal hit two pair with the K♠ turn, and Kabrhel was eliminated after the 7♥ river.

The remaining players have returned from dinner break and cards are back in the air.
PokerStars revealed two new brand ambassadors at Resorts World Las Vegas last month, both with impeccable reputations within the poker community — Caitlin Comeskey and Jason Koon.
The newest Team Pro members for the most prominent brand in online poker history come from different backgrounds and have different roles within the industry. Koon is a high-stakes legend, arguably the top tournament player in the world. Comeskey is a low-stakes player known for her comedic light-hearted poker player parody videos. She captured the Best Short-Form Content Creator award at the 2023 Global Poker Awards.
The field is now down to 38 players. They are on a 65-minute dinner break.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Martin Tsvetanov shoved from the small blind. Vilde Ekren called all in for approximately 600,000 from the big blind and a showdown was held.
Vilde Ekren: K♦5♥
Martin Tsvetanov: 9♠6♥
The 8♦J♦K♣9♦8♣ runout left Ekren best with kings-up and she was awarded a much-needed double up.
Alexantr Spatharis moved all in for 855,000 from middle position and he was called by Michael Sklenicka on the button.
Alexantr Spatharis: 2♥2♣
Michael Sklenicka: A♠K♥
Sklenicka was pretty happy to see a flop of 4♣Q♥J♠, but the 5♦J♣ runout didn't give him the straight he wanted so Spatharis doubled up.
