Hand 1
Stefan Schillhabel on the button and Julian Thomas in the small blind got into a raising war with the former ending up as the player at risk for 160,000 with 
. Thomas had the 
and was reduced to all but 3,500 chips after a board of 
.
Hand 2
Mark Teltscher and Dan Smith in the big blind played for the bigger side pot while Thomas was all in and awaiting his fate. The active duo checked the 
flop and Smith check-folded the turn to a bet of 7,000 by Teltscher. Thomas turned over the 
and Teltscher tabled 
, the 
river was a blank.
Hand 3
Ole Schemion shoved for 43,000 from the button and Smith reshoved in the small blind after having asked for the count of Adrian Mateos in the big blind.

Well, relative to the pot that is.
Byron Kaverman opened the cutoff for 10,000 and Timothy Adams called from the big blind. Both checked on the 
flop and the 
turn before the completed the board.
Adams bet 35,000 and Kaverman, with a pained look on his face, eventually called. Adams showed 
and Kaverman mucked.

Dan Colman raised to 9,000 and Mustapha Kanit called on the button, as did Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind. On the 
flop, O'Dwyer checked and subsequently called a bet of 15,000 by Colman while Kanit got out of the way. On the turn, O'Dwyer check-called another bet of 31,000 before the river was checked.
O'Dwyer showed and Colman had that beat with 
before being moved over one table. That previously featured Fedor Holz, who has since been eliminated.

The Germans on the table had previously already joked with an "und tschüß", which translates to "goodbye," but it took until now to come into effect as one of them was sent to the rail. It was short stack Steffen Sontheimer, who open-shoved from the small blind for around 48,000, and Fedor Holz in the big blind called.
Steffen Sontheimer: 
Fedor Holz:
The board ran out 
and Sontheimer was eliminated, prompting Holz to say the "und tschüß" with a smile on the face. Sontheimer took it in good spirit though and laughed back. He then immediately asked the floor if he can re-enter here or walk over to the main venue, and may very well be back shortly.

We missed the first raise sizes but it was Stefan Schillhabel opening under the gun and Dan Smith in the cutoff three-betting. Schillhabel four-bet to 73,000 and action was back on Smith. Smith tanked for 30seconds, tossed in a time bank chip, and eventually moved all in for 234,000. Schillhabel called instantly.
Stefan Schillhabel:
Dan Smith: 
The board ran out 
and Smith scored the full double.

Since re-entering the competition, Charlie Carrel chipped up and was then moved tables to face Mustapha Kanit, Fady Kamar, Steve O'Dwxyer, Erik Seidel, Mikita Badziakouski and Dan Colman. The High Roller regulars saw Carrel open to 9,000 and Seidel called in the big blind.
On the flop, Seidel check-called a bet worth 10,000 and the turn went check, check. Seidel bet the river for 15,000 and Carrel called, but quickly mucked as soon as he was shown for a flush by Seidel.
O'Dwyer currently holds the biggest stack on the table with more than half a million.
