He opened to 5.5K followed by a 17.5K 3-bet from Minarik. Action back to Jasek, who jammed, and Minarik snap-called with his pocket AA. Jasek with AKs needed a huge help from the board.

22:10 Rubi doubled
Jasek opened to 3.7K from UTG, and Rubi, right behind, jammed his 35K stack, which only Jasek eventually called, holding pocket QQ. He stood against AKo and needed just a safe board to eliminate his opponent. The A on the flop saved Rubi, who doubled his stack and will stay in this flight.
Rubi: A♥K♠
Jasek: Q♣Q♥
Board: 6♦9♥A♦6♥6♣

22:00 Majlo is still alive
He jammed his short stack of 6.7K after three limpers, and Vadasz reshoved. Majlo slightly dominated his opponent with A4s vs A3s. Players did not manage to chop the pot as Majlo hit his trips thanks to the runner-runner and will continue in this flight without needing a reentry.

Vadasz: A♥3♥
Board: T♥Q♠8♦4♣4♠

Without any help from the board, Meety was eliminated and went for reentry straight away.
Meety: A♣J♣
Presalovic: 7♣7♥
Board: 6♠4♠T♦3♠5♦
21:40 Eliasova with max pressure
Selepko minraised from UTG, after which Eliasova 3-bet to 10K, which only Selepko accepted to pay. He then c-bet the flop 8♥5♥9♠ for 12K and Eliasova quickly paid. Selepko slowed down on the turn with A♦, which prompted Eliasova to shove her remaining approx. 36K stack. After a while, Selepko decided to surrender this hand in Eliasova's favor.
Level 7: 600 - 1200 / 1200, avg. 70,313, ent.: 32/45, 20.000€ for the winner!
21:25 Szeles did not get paid
Hanzen min-raised and Rubi 3-bet to 6K, which Szeles and Hanzen called. The flop 5♣6♣3♥ was checked by all players, and the action was restored on the turn 2♠, where Szeles asked for 4.5K. Both of his opponents likely didn't connect with the board and gave up. Thus, Szeles took the pot for himself.

He then continued with the same amount on the turn 9♦ as well as on the river 7♠, where he stood against 10K raise by Rubi. After a while, Hermanovsky refused to pay and folded.
