Dimitar Iwanov opened and Luke Porter defended his big blind. Porter checked the A♦8♣7♦ flop and Iwanov continued for 5,000.
Porter check-raised to 19,000 and Iwanov called. The turn was the 2♠. Porter bet 35,000 and Iwanov called again.
The river was the 3♣. Porter bet 55,000 into a pot of around 120,000. Iwanov went into the tank.
Eventually Artsiom Lasouski called time, but Iwanov called quickly afterwards. Porter tabled 8♦7♣ for two pair and Iwanov flashed A♣10♣ on its way to the muck.
Philipp Engel raised to 4,000 from under the gun. Stephane Knafo called from the hijack, Adrian State called from the button, but Ryan Plant squeezed to 20,000 from the small blind. Engel folded, but Knafo and State called.
Plant put out a continuation-bet of 12,000 on the 2♦A♦6♣ flop and was met by an immediate shove by Knafo for roughly 50,000. State and Plant both quickly folded and Knafo slammed down 8♦7♦ for just an eight-high flush draw.

Cornelis van Gent opened to 4,000 from middle position with Luke Porter and Artsiom Lasouski calling out of the blinds.
The flop of J♥4♣2♣ was checked through for the 6♠ to come on the turn. Porter checked, Lasouski bet 7,000, and only Porter called.
After Porter checked the 8♥ on the river Lasouski fired out 13,000 into the middle. Porter pondered over the decision for a few moments but, ultimately, folded his cards, forfeiting the pot to Lasouski.
Mikolaj Zawadzki opened to 4,000 and got one caller before Malcolm Franchi three-bet to 16,000 on the button.
Zawadzki then four-bet to 34,000 and the caller folded. Franchi then five-bet all in for 98,000.
"I'm not excited but I call," said Zawadzki.
Malcolm Franchi: K♦K♠
Mikolaj Zawadzki: Q♣Q♠
There was no help for Zawadzki's cause on the A♣10♦5♥9♠2♥ runout and Franchi doubled to over 200,000. The tournament average currently sits at 121,000.
Fintan Hand opened from the cutoff and just behind him, Alessandro Siena shoved for a bit over 30,000 from on the button. It was folded back to Hand, who called to put Siena at risk.
Alessandro Siena: 5♥5♠
Fintan Hand: 8♥8♦
Siena would need some help with lower pair, but the 4♥Q♣J♠3♥9♥ runout kept Hand's eights best and Siena was eliminated.
Michel Molenaar opened to 6,000 from middle position before Antonio Iannei three-bet to 14,500 out of the big blind. Molenaar made the call to see a flop.
Both players checked the 3♦8♠K♥ flop and the 10♦ fell on the turn. Iannei led out for 12,500 and Molenaar quickly folded.
