All eyes were on Ermanno Di Nicola as the action folded around to him in the small blind. With a fierce determination, he raised to over 200,000, putting Daniel Lakerveld in the big blind in a tough spot—either risk it all or hold out for a better hand. After weighing his options, Lakerveld decided to go for it, calling Di Nicola's all-in bet.
As they turned over their cards, it was Lakerveld with J♣9♥ facing off against Di Nicola’s A♦4♠. The tension hung thick in the air as the board revealed 6♣Q♣10♦K♣8♣, giving Lakerveld a straight and a much-needed double-up.

Umut Yukselir started things off under the gun with a raise to 20,000. Lorenzo Arduini on the button and John Armbrust in the big blind both decided to join the fray, making it a three-player pot.
The flop came down J♦9♦2♣, and all three players checked, keeping the tension in the air.
As the 7♥ hit the turn, Armbrust seized the moment and led out with a 30,000 bet. Yukselir and Arduini weren’t backing down, as both players called, eager to see where this hand would take them.
When the 4♣ landed on the river, the action cooled down with everyone checking again. Armbrust finally revealed his hand, showing K♥9♠ for a pair of nines. That was just enough to take down the pot, allowing him to boost his already impressive stack even further.

Amiel Gamliel called from the small blind and Vladimir Troyanovskiy checked his option.
Gamliel check-called a bet of 12,000 on the flop of 2♥9♥4♥. He checked again on the A♦ turn which prompted Troyanovskiy to bet 32,000. Gamliel then put in the check-raise to 100,000. Troyanovsky called.
Gamliel then led all in on the 9♠ river, for around 100,000 more. Troyanovskiy tanked for a moment before folding. He asked Gamliel to "show one." He seemed to think about it before sliding his hand into the muck face down.

The action heated up when a player under the gun opened with a raise to 16,000. Nunzio Iandolo, sitting comfortably on the button, made the call, but it was Traian Stanciu in the big blind who decided to go all in for a hefty 151,000. The original raiser thought better of it and folded, but Iandolo wasn't backing down and made the call, ready to see a showdown.
Stanciu turned over 8♣8♦, and Iandolo revealed Q♣Q♦, showing he was in a strong position with his pocket queens. Stanciu needed a lot of help from the board, but the flop of 5♠A♠6♦ didn't offer much promise for him.
However, the turn brought the much-anticipated 8♠, giving Stanciu a set and a glimmer of hope. To his delight, the river revealed the final 8♥, completing his quads! Stanciu not only secured the double-up but also left Iandolo with just 15,000 chips.
In a desperate bid to stay in the game, Iandolo went all in on the very next hand. Once again, he found himself up against Stanciu, who was now his adversary. Iandolo held A♣5♣, feeling confident, while Stanciu had 10♣7♣.
The board came down 2♥J♦10♦3♦8♦, giving Stanciu a pair of tens that sealed Iandolo's fate. Just like that, Iandolo was eliminated from the tournament.
