Daniel Koloszar raised in the hijack and Frederik Thiemer three-bet on the button, leaving just a single T-25,000 chip behind. Koloszar then jammed and Thiemer called it off after checking the other tables briefly while on a pay jump.
Frederik Thiemer: A♥K♦
Daniel Koloszar: A♦Q♠
Koloszar was behind but got there on the Q♥J♣6♥2♣6♦ runout, sending Thiemer to the rail in 24th place.
Vincent Pedersen had nursed a shorter stack for a while and then called all-in for around 130,000 in the big blind when Joao Tomas pushed in the small blind.
Vincent Pedersen: J♥10♣
Joao Tomas: Q♠7♠
Thanks to a board of A♦9♣7♥5♠6♥, Tomas retained his narrow lead to eliminate Pedersen in 27th place.
Albert Gorelik raised the button and Dennis Wilke defended the big blind. Wilke check-called a bet on the 7♣7♠5♣4♦ turn and check-called the shove by Gorelik on the 5♦ river.
Gorelik tabled his Q♦5♥ but Wilke had the best of it with the J♥7♥.
Christian Schneider raised and then faced a three-bet shove by Ramo Balic for 241,000 total. The very reluctant call by Schneider followed and his pocket pair was trailing.
Ramo Balic: J♠J♦
Christian Schneider: 6♠6♥
Schneider instantly pulled into the lead with the K♥6♦5♥ flop, then retained the lead throughout the 8♥ turn and 10♦ river to send Balic to the payout desk.
Stefan Bittger lost a flip with pocket jacks against the A♦K♣ of David Boyaciyan to hit the rail.
The all-in showdowns kept on coming, though, as Traian Stanciu became the next casualty just prior to that. He was up with A♥K♣ against the 5♦5♥ of Florian Kraft via three-bet shove for 272,000.
On a board of 8♠6♠2♣7♠10♥, the mighty pair held and the field was down to the last five tables.
Very little time passed before Candido Cappiello three-bet to 170,000 with 25,000 behind. Christian Schneider four-bet jammed and Cappiello eventually called.
Candido Cappiello: A♣J♦
Christian Schneider: A♠Q♣
Schneider was ahead all the way and made trips on the 8♠7♦4♣Q♥Q♠ board.
Andrei Spataru then survived his short-stacked all-in against Schneider for 83,000 with K♦K♣ versus A♣6♥.
All the chips went into the middle preflop when Timo Kamphues moved all in from the big blind for 400,000 and was called by Zlatin Penev in the hijack.
Timo Kamphues: Q♠Q♣
Zlatin Penev: K♦K♥
Penev was in the lead and after the flop of K♣Q♦6♥ both players made a set. Kamphues could not find his one-outer though as the 7♥5♦ completed the board to move Penev towards the top of the chip rankings, while Kamphues headed for the exit.
Klas Krueger moved all in from under the gun for 140,000 and was called by Alexander Kleinhans in the big blind.
Klas Krueger: 10♥9♥
Alexander Kleinhans: K♣Q♦
Krueger could not connect with his suited connectors, as Kleinhans improved to trip queens after the board of A♣3♦2♦Q♠Q♥ to send Krueger out of the competition.
Down to around 140,000, Nils Pudel got it in preflop with the K♥8♥. He was up against the Q♠Q♣ of Julien Sitbon and faoled to get there with the 7♠7♦6♣8♣7♥ runout.
