Mustapha Kanit missed out on an open-ended straight and flush draw against Jean-Noel Thorel and the next two players to bust at almost the same time were Mikida Badziakouski and Ramin Hajiyev.
Bryn Kenney raised the button for 20,000 and Badziakouski three-bet for the vast majority of his stack in the small blind. Seth Davies moved all in from the big blind and Kenney folded, Badziakouski called.
Mikita Badziakouski:
Seth Davies:
Davies had already revealed his cards and Badziakouski grinned with the words "guess I could have folded," but would have been left with a chip and a chair. The board came and that was it for the €100,000 Super High Roller champion.
Ramin Hajiyev jammed the cutoff for 104,000 and Alex Foxen came along from the small blind.
Ramin Hajiyev:
Alex Foxen:
The board came and Hajiyev was also sent to the rail to reduce the field to the last 23 players, who will redraw to the final three tables shortly.

The completed board was down , and there was around 45,000 in the pot. Dietrich Fast was in the big blind and bet 48,000. Cary Katz was his opponent and decided to move all in for around 135,000 from early position.
"How much?" asked Fast, before the dealer confirmed Katz's stack amount.
"That's a good question," said Katz, "You didn't snap-call" he added.
Fast thought for a minute using a time bank card before he asked if Katz would show his hand if he folded. Katz didn't replay at first.
"Maybe one card" Katz then responded.
Ultimately Fast opted to fold and declared he held two pair, but Katz mucked his hand without showing before he picked up the pot.

After the river, Kisacikoglu checked and Eibinger bet what appeared to be 73,000. Nolan quickly folded, however, Kisacikoglu check-raised all in.
"I will need a count," Eibinger sighed and the jam of Kisacikoglu was for 239,000 in total. Eibinger made the call and was shown the by Kisacikoglu, which the Austrian had beat with for top two pair.
