Kitson Kho opend for 75,000 under the gun and [Removed:17] shoved from the cutoff. When the actionhad folded back to Kho, he instantly called.
Yan was in trouble with his 
as Kho had 
. The double paired 
flop made for a chopped pot though, and the two of 'em grabbed back their chips like nothing had happened.
Jean-Noel Thorel opened for 75,000 from the cutoff and [Removed:17] called from the big blind. Both players checked the 
flop and the 
hit the turn. Yan check called a bet of 100,000 and check called another 200,000 on the river. Thorel showed 
and Yan for a second thought he had won, till he saw the set and mucked his hand.

Piotr Franczak raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and Rainer Kempe moved all in for 603,000 from the button. The action folded back to Franczak who took his time, shook his head, and then said, "I think you have ace-queen."
After a pause, Franczak added, "But I have to fold," and he threw 
face up into the muck.
Kempe mucked his cards and raked in the pot, putting him ahead of his Polish neighbor for now.

On the very next hand after losing quite a few chips to Luuk Gieles, Steve O'Dwyer moved all in for 231,000 from the cutoff. Adrian Mateos snap-called from the big blind, and O'Dwyer was in rough shape.
O'Dwyer: 
Mateos: 
The board ran out 
and for the first time in four days O'Dwyer got knocked out from a tournament. Yesterday the American-Irishman won the Super High Roller, and today he got really close again with an 11th place finish in this High Roller.

From the hijack it was Piotr Franczak who raised to 56,000 and [Removed:17] three-bet from the button to 147,000. After this it was Jean-Noel Thorel who moved all in for 363,000 from the big blind, and Franczak went into the tank for quite some time.
Eventually Franczak, who didn't seem too happy, folded and Yan called right away. Franczak became much happier when he saw the hands of his opponents, as he said to have folded pocket nines.
Yan: 
Thorel: 
The board ran out 
and Thorel received a big double up with 11 players remaining.

Luuk Gieles opened for 54,000 from the cutoff and his neighbor Steve O'Dwyer three bet to 148,000 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and Gieles studied O'Dwyer's and his own stack before making the call.
Both players checked the flop and turn. The river came the 
and Gieles bet 155,000 after tanking for a bit. O'Dwyer instantly called by tossing in a single 25,000 chip, but would soon need to add the rest as Gieles showed 
for the flopped straight. O'Dwyer mucked in disgust.

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play we saw all ins on both tables, creating a chance for the 11th-place payout to be chopped in case both players were knocked out. Things however did not go in Gleb Kovtunov's favor, as he was the only player to get sent to the rail.
Kovtunov, on Table 2, moved all in from the cutoff for his last 64,000 chips and Luuk Gieles made the call from the big blind. On the other table it was Kitson Kho who moved all in under the gun for 385,000 and Tobias Reinkemeier called from the cutoff, after which all the other players folded.
Kovtunov's showdown was played out first, as he tabled against Gieles' 
. The board ran out 
and the nine on the flop gave Gieles a winning pair.
The action then shifted to Table 1, as Kovtunov stood by as Kho was at risk but ahead. Kho tabled and was up against Reinkemeier's .
The flop brought out 
and Reinkemeier took the lead after having flopped a set, but Kho cheered loudly when the appeared on the turn. The 
on the river sealed it, as Kho doubled while Kovtunov was left empty-handed on the rail.
The remaining 11 players are now guaranteed to take home at least €49,000.
