Action folded to Albert Daher in the small blind and he pushed all in. Big blind Christoph Vogelsang, who had about 140,000 behind, called.
Albert Daher:
Christoph Vogelsang:
It wasn't that uneven a fight, but after the flop, Vogelsang was done for. The on the turn and river were effectively blanks and Vogelsang hit the rail.
Rocco Palumbo raised to 35,000 and Sam Greenwood called out of the hijack. In the small blind, Ole Schemion three-bet all in for just under 300,000 and Palumbo glanced over before moving all in himself for more than 400,000. This forced out Greenwood and the cards were tabled.
Ole Schemion:
Rocco Palumbo:
"Oh no," Greenwood joked when he saw the ace-queen of Schemion. Palumbo asked "what's up with ace-queen, you guys all like it?"
The board came and the kicker played to eliminate Schemion soon after returning from the dinner break.
With the players all ordering from the in room dinning menu, the remaining 14 agreed a 75-minute dinner break wasn't necessary. They agreed on 30 minutes, so play will be back underway in half an hour at 8 p.m. local time.
The chips are flying and Albert Daher joked "okay now we are playing for fun," after having just doubled right back. His opponent was Christoph Vogelsang, who had raised from under the gun to 31,000 and called the shove of Daher out of the big blind for 355,000 in total.

Christoph Vogelsang:
"Hearts," Daher demanded and part of his wish was granted with the flop. Sure enough the followed right after on the turn and that locked up the double, making the river a formality.
Sam Greenwood was all in for his last 48,000 from early position and Ole Schemion on the button reshoved to isolate successfully.
Sam Greenwood:
Ole Schemion:
The Canadian was in need of help and eventually got there on the river of the board to keep his hopes of another big payday alive. Greenwood scored another big pot right after and suddenly jumped into the middle of the pack.
