Stephan Klam moved all in for 390,000 in the small blind and Pawel Wojciechowski called in the big blind.
Stephan Klam: J♦10♥ 
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♠7♠
The K♠Q♥2♦ flop gave Klam a straight draw, and he hit his straight on the 9♠ turn. The river was the 6♦ and Klam doubled up.
Cheng Zhao raised to 80,000 in early position before Christian Schneider three-bet to 200,000 in the hijack. Marco Bognanni then moved all in for 640,000 in the small blind, Zhao folded, while Schneider called to put him at risk.
Marco Bognanni: K♦K♣
Christian Schneider: A♣Q♠
It was Bognanni's turn to find kings at this table, and this time his hand held up as the board ran out 9♣9♠2♣4♦2♥ to earn him the double up.
Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 80,000 from the hijack and Michel Karim three-bet the small blind to 220,000. When the action got back to Tsouloftas, he called.
Both saw the J♥3♥8♣ flop fall and Karim kept up the aggression with a bet of 225,000, which Tsouloftas called tot he 5♣ turn. Karim again gathered chips and put 330,000, which eventually forced a fold from Tsouloftas after he spent some time thinking.
On another table, Maksym Filipovskyi had his last few big blinds at risk and couldn't survive.
Zoltan Vrancsik raised to 80,000 under the gun, Ioannis Chorianopoulos moved all in for 385,000 on the button, and Vrancsik called.
Ioannis Chorianopoulos: A♥10♠
Zoltan Vrancsik: 4♦4♣
Vrancsik remained in the lead on the K♣2♦3♣ flop, but Chorianopoulos hit the A♦ on the turn to move in front. The river was the Q♥ and Chorianopoulos doubled up.
Giovanni Giudice raised to 80,000 in the cutoff, Carlos Spoddig moved all in for 575,000 on the button, and Giudice called.
Carlos Spoddig: A♦9♥
Giovanni Giudice: 5♠5♦
The 6♣Q♥2♣ flop kept Giudice in the lead with his fives, while the turn was the J♣. "One time," Spoddig pleaded, but he got no help on the 2♥ river and was sent to the rail.
"He already hit his one time," tablemate Stanislav Koleno said after Spoddig left, alluding to his fortunate double up near the money bubble earlier.
Zdenek Zizka limped in from the small blind and Lukas Pazma made it 130,000 in the big blind. Zizka called.
Both saw the flop of K♣5♥5♦, where Zizka check-called a bet of 50,000 from Pazma to the 10♠ turn. Again Zizka checked, and again he called a bet when Pazma fired 200,000.
A 2♥ filled out the board and Zizka checked for a third time. Pazma took a little bit longer with his decision this time and eventually decided to check, then mucked when he saw the ace-high of Zizka, who tabled A♠4♦.
Pawel Wojciechowski limped in from the small blind, Cheng Zhao raised to 90,000 in the big blind, and Wojciechowski called.
The flop came 6♠4♦2♥ and Zhao continued for 55,000. Wojciechowski called and they both checked the Q♠ turn.
The 8♣ fell on the river and Wojciechowski led out for 280,000. Zhao called with K♥Q♣ for top pair, but Wojciechowski had rivered a straight holding 7♣5♣ to win the pot.
Paul Knebel in the small blind and Ratmir Kesidis in the cutoff got all their chips in the middle preflop, Kesidis having Knebel's remaining 820,000 covered as he went for the knockout.
Paul Knebel: J♠J♦
Ratmir Kesidis: Q♣Q♦
Kesidis had Knebel dominated and was poised to collect another big pot as the board came 3♦6♣9♣2♠, but Knebel spiked the J♣ on the river.
"No!" Kesidis shouted out, slamming the table in frustration before handing over the double up.
Two short stacks just themselves at risk, with totally different outcomes.
First, Georgios Tsouloftas opened the hijack and then called the shove of Michele Tocci, who moved all in from the big blind for around 200,000.
Michele Tocci: Q♦10♥
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♣8♣
Tocci spiked a queen on the 7♠Q♥3♦ flop and then held through the 9♠9♥ runout to double up.
On the adjacent table, Vitalii Shcherba had his last few big blinds in the pot and was put at risk by Antonios Onoufriou.
Vitalii Shcherba: A♠2♠
Antonios Onoufriou: A♦K♠
Shcherba couldn't improve on the 10♣10♦Q♠9♦3♦ runout, which meant his day came to an end.
