Yehuda Cohen snapped a picture of his final hand before the dealer could rush away the board. The massage parlour owner from next door had turned top pair with the A♥5♣ but Denis Alimanovic got there with the 7♦4♦ for a gutshot and flush draw on a board of 9♦8♦5♠A♦J♠.
Ertan Cicekdemir opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Ilie Smintanca-Januszewski made the call on the button. Michael Gehrmann then three-bet to 52,000 in the small blind.
Cicekdemir responded with a four-bet to 150,000, resulting in a fold from Smintanca-Januszewski and a call from Gehrmann.
The flop of 2♣7♣A♦ saw Gehrmann check, with Cicekdemir firing 75,000. Gehrmann then raised all in and the call was made.
Michael Gehrmann: A♠A♣
Ertan Cicekdemir: A♥K♦
Gehrmann's set of aces was in great shape ahead of Cicekdemir's top pair, with the Q♥6♣ runout cementing a massive double up.
A double elimination was announced for table eight and Ilija Savevski as well as Dennis Jung grabbed their belongings, while the chips were pushed to Andrzej Jedryczka.
According to Savevski, he got it in via three-bet shove with pocket tens and Jung had pocket nines. They were well covered by Jedryczka, who flipped with the A♥K♣. The A♣A♦3♦3♣2♦ runout left both shorter stacks drawing dead on the turn.
Moments later, Jared Strauss departed from one table over after losing a flip for the last eleven blinds with ace-king versus pocket tens.
Kacper Pawlowski got it in for the last 77,000 with the A♦J♦ and Emil Bise called holding the 8♠5♠.
The K♦Q♠2♠ flop gave Bise a flush draw while Pawlowski had a broadway draw. Nothing changed with the 3♣ turn but the 7♠ river improved Bise to a flush.
Another two players departed right after as the field dropped to 44 hopefuls within the first hour of play.
Duc Tuan Tran and were heads up Jan Wieckenberg in early position, and all of Wieckenberg's chips in the middle.
Jan Wieckenberg: A♥K♣
Duc Tuan Tran: A♣Q♣
Wieckenberg was in great shape until the 6♣9♦Q♥ flop saw Tran hit top pair. Another Q♦ turn locked up the hand for Tran, with the 8♣ river sealing Wieckenberg's exit.
"Ace-queen is a monster" said Theodoor Woolschot, as Tran raked in the pot.
Michael Gehrmann had just been moved next to current chip leader Duc Tuan Tran, who was then in the big blind. Matthew Davenport jammed for 87,000 and Tran asked for a count, then called.
Matthew Davenport: 5♠5♦
Duc Tuan Tran: 9♥8♦
The Q♦10♦4♠5♣7♣ board gave Davenport a set of fives for the double.
Bruno Skosples defended his big blind against an under-the-gun raise by Sefora Pop and check-called the 6♣5♦4♦ flop for 25,000. He then check-called the A♠ turn for 60,000 and jammed the 9♦ river for around 130,000, Pop snap-called.
"Nothing," Skosples declared and flung his Q♠7♥ for a busted straight draw towards the dealer. Pop showed her A♦2♦ for the nut flush and scored the knockout.
"I almost called preflop, I had ten eight of diamonds," Yuzhou Yin in the eight seat mentioned.
