Javier Swett opened to 1,500 from the hijack, and Marcello Del Grosso replied with a three-bet to 3,600 on the button.
Swett made the call, and both players checked through the 7♣7♣A♣ flop. Another check from Swett followed the 5♦ turn, and Del Grosso fired a bet of 1,500.
That produced a quick fold from Swett, and Del Grosso collected the chips.
Phillip Mighall was down to his final 6,200 when he elected to jam for all of it on the button. Hakim Zoufri obliged with a call from the big blind to send them to a showdown.
Phillip Mighall: 10♥10♦
Hakim Zoufri: K♦K♠
Mighall held a nice hand to take a final stand, but he ran into the much better hand of Zoufri, who woke up with a monster in the big blind.
The flop brought no relief when it fanned out 2♠A♦8♣.
The K♣ turn was the final blow as it upgraded Zoufri to a set. The 10♠ river was a cruel card as it did not matter, as Mighall was eliminated.
The board already read 5♠A♥8♦8♥ in a heads-up pot when Jedidiah Hoffman check-called Lawrence Brandt for 8,000.
The Q♣ river brought no betting and Hoffman tabled A♦J♦ for two pair while Brandt mucked his cards.
While Martin Kabrhel was strongly arguing with a floorman after he received a one-round penalty, Adrian Moreno opened to 1,300 from middle position and was called by Rania Nasreddine in the cutoff and by both players in the blinds.
Moreno continued for 1,800 on the 2♦J♣5♣ flop. Nasreddine called, but Daniel Marx in the small blind check-raised to 7,000. Both Moreno and Nasreddine called.
Marx bet 11,000 on the 4♠ turn. Moreno folded, but Nasreddine moved all-in for 10,900.
Rania Nasreddine: A♣K♠
Daniel Marx: J♦10♦
Marx with a pair eliminated Nasreddine after the 2♥ was revealed, but she immediately reentered the tournament.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Aram Zobian began the action with a raise to 1,300 from early position before Ramey Hinton called from middle position before Stoyan Madanzhiev chose to raise it to 6,000 from the cutoff.
Zobian folded, but Hinton was not done with the hand and made the call.
Hinton checked the J♥6♣2♥ flop before Madanzhiev continued for 3,500. Hinton responded with a raise to 10,000, and Madanzhiev did not take long before he pitched his cards towards the middle to end the hand.
The flop read 9♦8♠A♣ when Ryan Plant check-called Enrico Rudelitz for 2,500 and both checked on the 5♦ turn.
The river was the 3♣ and Plant bet 1,300, which was called by Rudelitz. Plant showed K♦9♣ and it was good enough to claim the pot as Rudelitz mucked.
Eric Roque raised to 1,800 from the button and was called by Ankush Mandavia in the small blind and Jacopo Olivieri Achille in the big blind.
The dealer spread a J♥10♥Q♥ flop. Both blinds checked, and Roque bet 2,500. Mandavia called and Achille folded.
Action checked through on the 7♣ turn card.
The river was the 2♠. Mandavia checked, Roque decided to bet 12,000, and Mandavia tossed his cards into the muck.
Paul Lagan raised to 1,200 and received a call from Faraz Jaka in the big blind.
The flop gave 5♥4♠Q♥ and Jaka check-called for 2,500. On the 5♣ turn, Jaka led out for 3,000 and Lagan shoved. Jaka snap-folded.
