Arriving at the table, three players were all in, and Ian Walsh had the biggest stack.

Ian Walsh: K ♦K ♣

Eimantas Kriacuciunas: A ♣J ♥

Josef Gulas: A ♠Q ♥

With 16 players left, and 14 ITM, if Walsh's hand held it would burst the money bubble.

The flop fell 2 ♣4 ♣K ♠ and Walsh improved to a set. The 2 ♦ on the turn meant his Full House secured the pot, chipping him up to over 700K, while both Gulas and Kriacuciunas missed out on a money prize.

The remaining players will continue the action until only 9 remain.

PepaG had around 210K behind and asked Andersen if he 'wanted the call?'.

'If you want I can call, you can choose' said PepaG. But Andersen simply shrugged before replying, 'You can choose.'

PepaG ultimately decided to fold, and verbally revealed he had Pocket Sixes.

With the flop down 3 ♣8 ♣6 ♦, Valerijus Raginis had bet 18K from the Button and Marian Vacha was all in for 78K from Under the Gun.

Raginis called and saw that he needed to hit.

Vacha: T ♠T ♦

The 6 ♠ turn was safe for Vacha, but the 7 ♣ river gave Raginis his flush and the pot.
