On a three-way flop of , Timothy Adams in the small blind checked and Orpen Kisacikoglu bet 17,000 for around half the pot from the cutoff. Daniel Dvoress folded on the button and Adams called.
After the turn, Adams check-called a bet of 27,000 and the on the river went check, check. Adams flipped over and that was good enough to win the pot, as Kisacikoglu mucked.
Dario Sammartino check-called a bet on the flop then 47,000 more on the turn from the big blind against button Patrick Leonard as a community rolled out. On the river, Leonard counted out his stack and took a few minutes before saying he was making a tight check and rapping the table.
In a battle of the blinds, Dario Sammartino limped and then three-bet against Juha Helppi to see the latter call and head to a flop of . Sammartino fired a bet of 33,000 and Helppi came along to see the on the turn.
Now, Sammartino bet 58,000 and Helppi called before the on the river completed the board. Sammartino shoved and Helppi called all in for 119,000. The Italian flipped over and Helppi had that beat with for two pair to double up.

Yan was in a great spot and held through the turn and river.
Meanwhile, Steffen Sontheimer reentered and Dario Sammartino lost his remaining chips.
On the button, Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 9,000 and Martin Kabrhel called in the small blind. On the flop, both players checked. Kabrhel bet 10,500 on the turn and Thorel called before the on the river triggered a bet of 16,000 by Kabrhel and a fold by Thorel.

We missed it, but Charlie Carrel busted Leon Tsoukernik not too long ago and promised to buy him a drink to make up for it. Wouldn't you know it, Leon Tsoukernik bought back into the tournament, drew the exact same seat again right next to Carrel, and took his British neighbor up on his offer of a free drink.
But Tsoukernik didn't just buy a regular soft drink from the bar menu, he ordered a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
While he was in a hand (he would turn a set of eights and win a decent pot of Anthony Zinno), the bottle was brought to the table by the staff. While they unboxed the bottle and prepared two glasses, they slid the bill to Tsoukernik.
The King's Casino Rozvadov owner, still busy winning Zinno's chips, glanced at the bill and told Carrel it was €600. Carrel's jaw dropped a little, but, as a man of his word, reached for his wallet and started pulling out wads of cash. Tsoukernik, now betting 40,000 against Zinno, told Carrel to put back his money and eventually paid for the bottle himself. Not before he made Carrel promise they would go party one night, though, and the latter would presumably have to take care of that bill.
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 10,000 and Isaac Haxton three-bet to 37,000 out of the small blind. Thorel moved all in and Haxton called. Both players turned over pocket pairs and Thorel immediately sighed, as he had the worse hand in showdown.
Isaac Haxton:
Jean-Noel Thorel:
The board came and Haxton doubled up with a flush for 225,000 to take a decent chunk of Thorel's stack.
Down to his last 8,000, Nariman Yaghmai pushed all in from the cutoff. One seat over sat Mikita Badziakouski and he raised to 13,000 from the button. Sam Greenwood thought about it for a bit from the big blind but eventually folded.
