Jakub Michalak opened in early position to 20,000, and the action folded to Tobias Duthweiler on the button, who raised to 59,000. Michalak took his time before moving all in, and Duthweiler quickly called.
Tobias Duthweiler: J♦J♦
Jakub Michalak: A♥K♠
The flop came J♣8♣2♥, giving Duthweiler a set, but the 10♥ on the turn gave Michalak a gutshot and a little hope. The 9♦ on the river ended it, letting Duthweiler double up.
Cards went on their backs with Simone Andrian on the button at risk for 222,000 against Iegor Zarev in the small blind.
Simone Andrian: 10♠10♣
Iegor Zarev: A♣J♥
Zarev flopped a straight draw on K♦Q♦3♦, but Andrian's tens held on the 9♦7♥ runout and he doubled up.
Mathew Frankland was seen walking away after he lost his 190,000-chip stack from the hijack against Vasileios Panagiotidis in the big blind.
Mathew Frankland: A♠K♠
Vasileios Panagiotidis: Q♠J♠
Panagiotidis flopped top pair on Q♥10♥5♠3♣10♠ to send Frankland to the rail.
With around 300,000 already in the pot and the board fully laid out Q♣2♠7♦4♦3♣, Bartosz Wesolek checked as first to act. Hugo Jimenez took his time before shoving all in for 326,000. Wesolek folded, giving the pot to Jimenez.
The cards were already on their backs, and Terrance Reid was at risk.
Terrance Reid: 8♣7♣
Alexander Sokolovsky: A♦A♥
The flop came 9♦10♣3♦, giving Reid a bit of hope, but the 4♦ on the turn and the 5♦ on the river sealed it. Sokolovsky made a flush to take the pot and stay in the hunt, while Reid was sent to the rail.
Luc Lafontaine in early position was all-in and at risk for 110,000 against Cristian Cirja in the cutoff.
Luc Lafontaine: K♥J♦
Cristian Cirja: 9♣9♦
After a flop of 5♠2♥Q♣, Lafontaine hit the J♠ turn followed by the 10♣ river to secure a double up.
