On a K♥9♠J♥3♥ with roughly 100,000 chips in the pot, Miroslav Forman in the small blind was into the tank after Simone Pascucci shoved for 98,000 in the hijack.

It took a long moment for Forman to make a decision, but he eventually called.

Miroslav Forman: Q♦J♦

Pascucci was on his way to double up with aces. But the 10♣ landed on the river to complete Forman's straight and send Pascucci to the rail.

Chris Bean

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With 22,000 in the middle on a flop of 7♠6♦6♣, Hyunsup Kim bet 20,000 from the big blind. Christian Duerschlag in the small blind check-raised to 50,000, which Kim called.

The 2♣ came on the turn and Duerschlag immediately moved all in. Kim counted his chips and realized that he had less than Duerschlag. The Korean opted to make the call for a huge pot.

Hyunsup Kim: 10♣10♥
Christian Duerschlag: J♣J♥

Both players had an over pair, but the German was best. The 3♦ completed the board and Duerschlag won the huge pot, whilst Kim headed to the exit

Maricuta Knocks Out Vogrinec

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Joining the action on the K♥9♦2♥9♣ turn, Matjaz Vogrinec checked and subsequently reluctantly called a bet worth 45,000 by Dan Maricuta. That led them to the 2♣ river on which Vogrinec checked again from under the gun. Maricuta pushed all-in for his opponent to ask for a count, which turned out to be for 86,400 total.

Vogrinec called all-in after a minute and then tried to muck his cards when Maricuta tabled the J♥9♥ for nines full of deuces.

"Showdown," Maricuta demanded and the dealer flipped over the A♦10♦ of Vogrinec, who left the tournament seconds later.

Hertsel Levy: Q♣J♠
Joao Tomas: A♣2♠

The 8♠ landed on the turn, then the 2♣ on the river to give a straight flush to Tomas. The dealer counted both stacks, but Levy was slightly covered, so he was eliminated.

Romain Locquet: 8♦8♥
