Maria Lampropulos on the button and Pablo Silva in the big blind raised each other and put all their chips in the middle, with Silva at risk for 260,000 chips.
Pablo Silva: A♣K♥
Maria Lampropulos: A♠9♠
The dealer revealed a flop of K♠7♠K♦, which brought trips to Silva but still a flush draw to Lampropulos. But the turn 4♥ and the river 4♣ improved Silva to a full house, and he doubled up. At the same time, Lampropulos was left with 6,000 chips, half a blind.

Boris Angelov opened under the gun to 18,000. He was called by Jens-Florian Mueller in the small blind before short-stack Benjamin Stiefel shoved all in. Both players called and it went three ways to a flop.
It came 3♦K♠9♦. Mueller bet 30,000 and got called.
Both players checked on the 2♣ turn.
It was a similar story on the river, as the Q♣ hit and neither player opted to bet.
Benjamin Stiefel: A♦6♣
Jens-Florian Mueller: K♦J♠
Boris Angelov: Mucked
Mueller took it down with top pair, as Angelov mucked and Stiefel tabled ace-high. The German won a large pot to put himself among the chip leaders.

The action is joined with Hrayr Grigoryan all in on the button. Mario Trattou and Adrian Kyiak both just called - building a huge pot pre.
Both Trattou and Kyiak checked the 3♠K♣J♠ flop.
A 5♦ on the turn brought no further action.
Trattou then checked as the 10♠ completed the board, before Kyiak bet 65,000. After a little thinking, the Englishman threw his hand away, leaving Kyiak to showdown with the all-in Grigoryan.
Hrayr Grigoryan: A♦7♦
Adrian Kyiak: A♣Q♠
Kyiak rivered a straight, but even so, his Armenian opponent was behind the whole way. Grigoryan was out in 75th place, while Kyiak won an enormous pot as Day 2 loomed.
