In a blind versus blind battle and 26,800 in the middle the turn read 7♣7♠5♣6♣. Jovan Kenjic was seen in the tank after checking and being faced with an all-in jam of 17,900 from Carlos Sanchez.

After a long time, Kenjic decided on a call.

Carlos Sanchez: K♠K♦ All in
Jovan Kenjic: A♥J♠

Kenjic wasn't correct this time as he ran into the kings of Sanchez and he wasn't able to find an ace as the board completed with the 8♣ on the river.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Four players brewed a pot of about 5,500 to see the 9♣9♠8♣ flop, and all four checked to see the K♠ turn. The action checked to Joshua Zucchet in the hijack and he fired 3,600 into the middle. Only Jason Velasco made the call from the big blind.

The 7♦ landed on the river and Velasco took the lead, blasting 12,000 across the line and Zucchet took a few moments before mucking his hand.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

It appeared action exploded on a K♠2♠K♥ flop between three players that ultimately resulted in two of them getting their respective stacks all in with flush draws.

Fabian Niederreiter: J♠8♠ All in
Stefan Fabian: A♠7♠ All in
Leon Sturm: 10♦10♣

Sturm was ahead with two pair but had to dodge both spades and an ace. The 2♣ turn was a safe card, and so was the 5♥ to send both Fabian Niederreiter and Stefan Fabian out of the tournament.
