Gabriel Cunha raised to 17,000 in middle position before Ami Barer moved all in for 171,000 in the hijack. Bo Jin called on the button, while Cunha got out of the way.

Ami Barer: 7?7? All in
Bo Jin: A?A?

Barer had run into Jin's races and found no help on the 5?3?3?K?J? board as the EPT Paris finalist was sent to the rail.

At the same time at another table, 2013 EPT Barcelona champion Tom Middleton busted to Jorge Artiga-Pacheco. According to Artiga-Pacheco, Middleton jammed with ace-five and he woke up with ace-king in the blinds. The board provided no help and Middleton was sent to the rail.

Three-handed on a flop of A?J?8?, Alexander Seibt bet 14,000 from middle position and Allan Barnes raised to 50,000 in the cutoff. Boris Kuzmanovic folded in the big blind as action went back on Seibt. "What am I doing?" he asked himself before moving all in for 92,000 as Barnes quickly called.

Alexander Seibt: K?10? All in
Allan Barnes: A?8?

Barnes was ahead with two pair, but Seibt had straight and flush draws as the J? fell on the turn to complete his flush. "Let's go! That's good for poker," he said.

Seibt still needed to dodge the river, but it came a harmless 10? and he doubled up. "I spent all break looking up how to play 12 big blinds. I have no idea how to play 30 big blinds," he added.

Carlos Lopez moved all in for 230,000 from middle position as Matteo Orchide put him at risk from the big blind.

Carlos Lopez: K?K? All in
Matteo Orchide: A?K?

Lopez was ahead with his kings as the flop came 2?7?8? to give Orchide a flush draw. The 9? turn was safe for Lopez, who was one card away from a double up, but Orchide caught the J? on the river to make his flush and send Lopez to the rail.

At another table, Thomas Eychenne eliminated Hans Erlandsson by winning a race with K?10? against Erlandsson's pair of sixes.

Luka Sorainen was in the big blind and had a tower of chips in front of him for a bet of 72,000 before Ahmed Karrim reraised to 145,000 on the button. Sorainen called and they went heads up to the J?6?4? flop.

Karrim continued for 65,000 and Sorainen again called. Both players then checked the K? turn. Sorainen also checked the 5? river, and Karrim peeked over at his opponent's stack before checking behind.

Sorainen turned over Q?Q? and Karrim surrendered the big pot.

Jack Kiriakus limped in from early position and Alexander Seibt shoved 54,000 from the hijack. Once the action got back to Kiriakus, he made the call which put Seibt at risk.

Alexander Seibt: A?K? All in
Jack Kiriakus: A?9?

Seibt was in a great position to double up and his situation improved on the 5?6?J? flop as he picked up a flush draw, which removed one of Kiriakus' outs. Neither the 3? turn nor 6? river changed anything, which kept Seibt alive in the Main Event.

Fabiano Kovalski raised to 12,000 in the hijack before Ahmed Karrim three-bet to 36,000 on the button. Kovalski called and they went heads-up to the K?Q?2? flop.

Karrim continued for 37,000 and Kovalski called. The turn was the 10? and Karrim bet another 115,000. Kovalski used two time banks before calling again as he checked over to Karriim on the 4? river.

Karrim checked back this time and Kovalski turned over A?7?. Karrim mucked and Kovalski's ace-high earned him the big pot.
