Andria Gogelidze and Robin Berggren were heads up on a flop of J♦10♣7♠. With 420,000 in the pot, Berggren bet 140,000 from the small blind. Gogelidze then announced a raise just before his shot clock ran out.
However, as he had not stated an amount, his raise was ruled as the minimum raise, much to his disagreement. Berggren then three-bet to 480,000, which Gogelidze called.
Berggren appeared to slow down on the 6♦ turn as he checked. Gogelidze bet 275,000, after which Berggren jammed all in, covering Gogelidze.
Gogelidze snap folded, leaving himself 680,000 behind. Berggren, on the other hand, crossed the two-million mark and solidified his position as table chipleader.

Martin Zamani opened to 85,000 from the hijack and Daniel Rezaei defended his big blind.
The action checked through to the river for the board to read A♦5♦5♣6♣J♦.
Rezaei eyed up Zamani's stack of around 700,000 and moved all in as the bigger stack. Zamani went into the tank, using some time banks before sticking in the call.
"Flush," said Rezaei who tabled 10♦4♦. Zamani had A♥8♦ and headed away from the table after exchanging some pleasantries with his opponent.

Rachid El Yaacoubi raised to 50,000 in middle position before Frederik Thiemer reraised to 200,000 in the hijack, leaving just one 5,000 chip behind. El Yaacoubi then moved all in. "Back to school or staying?" El Yaacoubi joked with the youthful-looking Thiemer, who used up a few time banks until tossing in his last chip.
Frederik Thiemer: A♠Q♦
Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♠10♦
The board ran out 8♥6♦5♥6♥J♦ and Thiemer held on with ace-high to earn a double up.

Pavel Svach opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Dietrich Fast called from the small blind.
Fast check-raised to 125,000 over a bet of 35,000 on the A♦8♣J♥ flop and was called.
Fast fired out 210,000 on the 9♠ turn, leaving him with 600,000 behind. Svach then put Fast all-in, with the latter not thrilled with the spot. Fast mulled over his options and called for his tournament life.
"Ah bluff," said Svach as he saw Fast commit his stack.
Dietrich Fast: A♣8♦
Pavel Svach: 8♥4♠
Fast had aces and eights and had Svach drawing dead. The 3♣ river completed the board.

Jan-Peter Jachtmann was all in for around 120,000 from the small blind and up against Gerald Eisele in the big blind.
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: A♠3♥
Gerald Eisele: K♥Q♣
The Q♠10♥2♥ flop gave Eisele the lead with a pair of queens, while Jachtmann picked up some outs on the 3♦ turn. The 8♠ river wasn't one of them and the fashionably-dressed 2023 Main Event finalist was sent to the rail.

Jonas Hagstrom raised to 50,000 on the button before Yannick Jobin moved all in for 170,000 in the small blind. Said Madani then reshoved for 400,000 in the big blind and Hagstrom snap-called to put both players at risk.
Yannick Jobin: K♥J♣
Said Madani: A♣4♥
Jonas Hagstrom: Q♠Q♦
Hagstrom was ahead with queens and was poised for a double knockout. The J♥10♥9♣ flop gave Jobin a pair and straight draw, but neither he nor Madani improved further on the 10♣ turn or 5♠ river as Hagstrom scooped the pot to send both players to the rail.

Andrea Ricci: A♠10♦
The K♦K♠9♠ flop gave Zhao straight and flush draws, but he failed to connect with the 7♣ turn and 7♦ river as Ricci scored the knockout.

Dariusz Marcinkowski raised to 50,000 in middle position and Frederik Thiemer three-bet to 125,000 in the hijack. Marcinkowski then moved all in for 550,000 and Thiemer called.
Dariusz Marcinkowski: Q♥Q♣
Frederik Thiemer: A♣Q♠
Marcinkowski needed to avoid an ace to stay alive, and he successfully made it through the 6♦5♦2♥4♣10♥ board to double up as he and Thiemer effectively switched stacks.
