With the pot at 18,600 and the flop showing 10?Q?8?8?7?, William Trumm led out with a significant bet of 10,000. This prompted Luka Bojovic to think it over for a moment before deciding to call, eager to see what Trumm was holding.
Trumm revealed 5?3?, a bold bluff, while Bojovic confidently turned over J?J? for two pair, jacks and eights.
Heads-up on a board of K?5?4?9?, Dario Sammartino bet 3,500 in the cutoff before Mariusz Golinski raised to 12,200 under the gun. Sammartino took a few minutes until he called.
The river was the Q? and Golinski slowed down and checked. Sammartino again took more than a minute and eventually checked back as Golinski turned over K?2? to win the pot with top pair.
A full board of 2?5?5?Q?7? was showing and the chips were already in the middle between Frederik Thiemer and Michael Sklenicka.
Sklenicka had A?5? laid out on the table in front of him and his chips were being counted out by the dealer. Thiemer's hand was already in the muck, but he couldn't beat trip fives so had to cough up the chips.
Dennis Dielmann opened the action with a raise from early position, and Ankit Ahuja responded with a three-bet to 3,100 from the hijack, which Dielmann called.
The flop came 7?3?6?, and Dielmann check-called Ahuja's continuation bet of 1,500.
Both players then checked the 4? turn and the 7? river. Dielmann revealed 8?8? for an overpair, enough to make Ahuja muck his cards without further contest.
With the board showing A?9?7?J?6? and around 4,000 in the pot, Julian Schild led out with a bet of 1,500. Cecile Ticherfatine responded with a raise to 5,000. Schild leaned forward, clearly uncertain, studying the cards and Ticherfatine��s raise. After some thought, he made the call. Ticherfatine revealed A?K? for a pair of aces, but Schild had 9?7? for two pair, allowing him to take down the pot.
Armin Rezaei and Robert Fluereci went heads-up to a flop of A?J?Q?, Robert Fluereci announced a bet from under the gun and Rezaei raised to 4,000 in the small blind. Fluereci called.
The turn was the 6? and Rezaei led out for 10,000. Fluereci again called to see the 8? river, where Rezaei moved all in. Fluereci had around 35,000 remaining and quickly folded as Rezaei took down the pot.
There were almost 55,000 chips in the middle on a wet board of Q?10?9?8? when Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi fired 8,500, and Felix Neubauer shoved. Ohulchanskyi snap-called.
Felix Neubauer: A?K?
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: A?J?
Neubauer just didn't believe his opponent and was drawing dead as the meaningless 2? filled out the board. With that pot, Ohulchanskyi's stack is up to over 200,000.
"I would play this tournament if it was on the Moon. Do you think I'll win a hand this tournament? I didn't come all the way into the woods not to win a hand," Nick Palma told his tablemates.
Palma then raised to 800 in the hijack and Wolfgang Guenthel in the cutoff and button Paco Kaplan called. "You look like you could be in a James Bond movie. You look good with the mustache. I don't know if I could pull off the mustache," Palma said to Kaplan as the flop came K?3?3?. Palma then continued for 1,000.
Both Guenthel and Kaplan quickly folded and Palma tried to stop the dealer from taking in his cards so he could snap a photo but they were already in the muck. "I was going to tell the people back home that I finally won a hand. Beat the James Bond villain," Palma added as the table moved on to the next pot.
Around 15,000 was already in the pot as Julien Combier and Stanislav Zegal went heads-up to the turn on a board of J?3?K?3?. Combier then bet 4,500 from under the gun and Zegal called on the button.
The river was the 4? and Combier bet 12,700. Zegal tanked for several minutes but eventually called once more as Combier turned over K?J? for top two pair. Zegal, last year's WSOP Paradise Main Event champion, mucked.
There were already around 40,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8?5?2?5? when Mariusz Golinski fired 18,500 on the turn, and Rokas Asipauskas quickly called.
A 10? filled out the board and after a while, Golinski shoved for 62,300. Asipauskas only had around 45,000 remaining in his stack and was deep in the tank debating whether or not he should commit them all to the pot. After a few minutes, Asipauskas opted to fold, and Golinski raked in the chips.
