Dorian Decauche raised to 1,100 from under the gun, and Viktor Blom called from middle position. Erik Stuart squeezed to 5,000 in the hijack, and only Blom called.
Blom checked on the A♠5♥2♣ flop, and Stuart placed out a bet of 3,000. Pretty quickly, Blom called.
Both players checked the J♣ turn and the 8♣ river. Blom tabled Q♠Q♥ for a pair of queens, but it was no good against Stuart's A♣K♥ for a pair of aces.
Tobias Rohe from the big blind and Iulian Blebea from the button found themselves on the river with 10,600 in the middle and the board reading A♥K♠10♠9♣8♣. Rohe checked to Blebea who tossed out three T-5,000 red chips, enough to cover Rohe's remaining stack of an even 10,000.
"Hey PokerNews!" tablemate Ryan Hall announced, "They have decided that this table alone will be granted an extra hour and half of play at the end of the day."
It became apparent that this was in reference to the amount of tanking taking place at the table.
"I could have just late regged and still would have played more hands!" he continued while doing jumping jacks beside the table.
The clock was eventually called on Rohe, who would decide to make the call to put himself at risk of elimination.
Tobias Rohe: A♦10♥ 
Iulian Blebea: 7♥6♥
Blebea rivered a gutter to make a straight, and Rohe could not get away from his two pair, and his run came to an end.
Jeffrey Lande bet 5,000 from the hijack on a flop of 6♣3♠8♣ and James Castro called in the small blind. Raul Martinez then raised to 16,500 in middle position, and only Lande called.
The turn was the 2♣ and Martinez bet another 8,000. Lande again called, and the 2♠ fell on the river. Martinez then bet 29,000, leaving only 1,000 behind, and Lande tanked for a few minutes before folding.
Orit Hadas in hijack opened with a 1,300 bet. Anthony Ajlouny to her left called. Two more people, namely, Robert Meyer on the button and Seina Asagiri in the small blind, joined the fun.
Tomohiro Kamikawa in the big blind, however, defended with a 4,500 raise. Hadas called and so did Meyer while everyone else backed out of the escalating heat.
The flop came 3♦Q♥9♠. Kamikawa continued with 2,400. Hadas had seen enough and folded her hand. Meyer, had other plans, and raised to 6,000. Kamikawa asked how much he had left behind then made the call.
After a check, Meyer kept the pressure with 15,000 on the J♥ turn. Kamikawa called to see the last card.
Slowing down, both players checked the 6♣ river.
Meyer turned over K♣Q♦ for top pair on the flop but couldn't beat Kamikawa's kicker when he tabled A♦Q♣.
The action was picked up on a 6♣3♠2♠2♦8♣ board, and Alex Faynshteyn had bet 13,500 from early position. Michael Wainer responded with the ultimate pressure; having the stack of Faynshteyn covered, he moved all in.
After spending several minutes in the tank, Faynshteyn elected to fold before giving Wainer an easy riddle to solve, which let him know what he folded.
"I folded a hand I'm not supposed to fold", continuing, "I couldn't beat aces, but I could beat queens. I had the second-best starting hand possible."
Adam Owen opened to 1,200 from middle position and called a three-bet of 3,000 from Joseph Hebert, who was on the button.
Owen checked to Hebert, who continued for 3,000 on the 3♣8♣3♥ flop. Owen check-raised enough to put Hebert all in and Hebert called all in for 18,200 total.
Joseph Hebert: Q♣Q♥
Adam Owen: J♣2♣
Owen was drawing, but the 10♦A♦ runout kept Hebert's ladies best and he was awarded the double-up.
With 41,000 in the pot, the dealer dealt the 3♣8♥7♠K♥ turn. Kyler Scheriger then put both his opponents all in from early position.
Semsettin Ilyas folded relatively quickly, but Douglas Allen appeared to have a tougher time. He tanked for about five minutes before also letting go of his cards, surrendering the pot to Scheriger without showdown.
There were roughly 7,000 chips in the pot on 5♣10♥4♠.
Venkatappaia Chilakala in the small blind bet 2,600, and Marius Iftimia who was in early position made the call. Chilakala did not slow down on the 8♣ turn and he bet 6,300 but got raised to 18,000, and Chilakala called.
The 2♣ on the river saw Iftimia bet 26,500 and get called. Iftimia then tabled 8♦8♥ for a set and took the pot.
