Casey Hatmaker opened with a raise to 40,000. Action folded to Maksym Bosyk in the big blind, who three-bet to 160,000. Hatmaker took some time before calling.
Both players checked the 2♦6♣8♦ flop.
On the 7♦ turn, Bosyk checked again, but Hatmaker fired 150,000, forcing Bosyk to fold and giving up the pot.
The cards were already on their backs as Seunghun Ko was all in against Gilles Simon.
Seunghun Ko: 10♥10♦
Gilles Simon: 9♠9♦
The flop came 9♥3♠7♠, giving Simon a set. The 8♣ on the turn gave Ko a straight draw and a glimmer of hope, but the 7♥ river sealed it for Simon, turning his set into a full house, taking the pot and sending Ko to the rail.
Cards went on their backs with Marko Conte under the gun all-in and at risk for 190,000 against Ryan Johnson in middle position.
Marko Conte: K♣K♦
Ryan Johnson: A♥J♠
Conte flopped a set on 7♣K♥J♦3♦2♣ to secure a double up.
Hugo Nazar raised to 410,000 from middle position. Ihar Soika in the hijack three-bet all-in, and Tommi Lankinen in the big blind jammed as well for roughly 200,000. Nazar quickly called with the 40,000 he had left.
Tommi Lankinen: A♣K♣
Hugo Nazar: A♦Q♦
Ihar Soika: 10♥10♠
Nazar flopped top pair on 3♠2♥Q♥8♣9♠ to secure an almost triple up while Lankinen was eliminated.
Claudio Di Giacomo opened from under the gun to 40,000. Action folded to Cristian Cirja in the big blind, who took his time before moving all in. Di Giacomo called, and the cards went on their backs.
Cristian Cirja: K♥Q♥
Claudio Di Giacomo: A♥Q♣
The board ran out 8♠5♦4♠Q♦4♦, giving both players two pair, queens and fours, but Di Giacomo’s kicker was better. He scooped the pot, sending Cirja to the rail.

The remaining 164 players are now on a 20-minute break before heading into the final level ahead of the dinner break.
The pot was around 260,000, and the board was fully out 2♣J♥6♠A♣2♥.
Jack Loraine checked to Thomas Eychenne, who moved in with a bet of 200,000. Eychenne hadn’t even started pushing his chips when Loraine called, showing A♥K♠ for two pair, aces and deuces. But Eychenne had 6♦6♥ for a full house, scooping the pot and boosting his stack.
