Jelle de Kroon limped his button and called when Aki Vihikainen raised to 600,000 in the small blind. De Kroon then called Vihikainen's bet of 750,000 on the 5♠Q♣9♦ flop before he was checked to on the 8♦ turn.
De Kroon took the opportunity to bet 1,500,000. Vihikainen called after some thought, but he check-folded when De Kroon fired 3,000,000 on the 2♠ river.

Heads up to the 6♥7♦A♠ flop, Aki Vihikainen bet 650,000 from the big blind. Gabi Livshitz called on the button, and did so too when Vihikainen sized up to 750,000 on the 7♥ turn.
Vihikainen kept firing on the 4♠ river, opting for a sizing of 1,500,000. Livshitz raised to 4,400,000, and Vihikainen called without much thought.
Livshitz confidently tabled A♥Q♣J♦7♣ for sevens full, but Vihikainen had aces full with A♦A♣K♥10♦, raking in the big pot and gaining a sizable lead over his two competitors.
