Ion Tabacaru and "Lion King" had amassed 200,000 in the middle when Tabacaru bet 105,000 from the small blind on a completed board of A♠7♣4♠K♦4♥.
"Lion King" spent several time banks but ultimately shrugged as he put in a call.
Tabacaru tabled A♦A♣J♣2♥ for top full house, taking down the sizable pot and chipping up to more than two starting stacks.

Four-way to a flop of 5♦3♠3♥, big blind Burak Simsek led out for 10,000. "Slickwin" then raised to 40,000 under the gun, which only Simsek called.
"Slickwin" tossed in his remaining 113,000 on the 8♥ turn. Simsek asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter.
"Slickwin": A♥A♣3♦2♣ 
Burak Simsek: A♠K♥10♣3♣
Both players played trip threes with an ace kicker, but the 10♠ river made only Simsek a full house, knocking "Slickwin" out of the tournament.

Amir Mozaffarian raised to 7,000 as first to act and was called by Espen Myrmo in the small blind.
Myrmo check-called Mozaffarian's bet of 7,000 on the 2♣Q♦10♠ flop, but quickly folded once his opponent sized up to 25,000 on the 7♣ turn.

Damjan Radanov was already short when he tossed in his last 30,000 or so on the four-way 10♠9♠2♣ flop. Ronald Keijzer was his only caller, and the cards hit the spotlights.
Damjan Radanov: 9♥9♣8♥7♠
Ronald Keijzer: Q♥10♦Q♦8♣
Radanov had a big lead with his set of nines, which grew even larger when the 4♠ turn was of no help to Keijzer.
The Q♣ river gave the Dutchman a higher set, however, causing Radanov to mutter to himself before storming off.

Arriving on a completed board of J♥A♠8♠3♥2♦, Andreas Zampas checked from the small blind to Eray Teker in the big blind. Teker fired 78,000 into a pot of 94,000 and was snap-called.
Teker slammed his first on the table in frustration, causing Zampas to table A♥J♦6♦3♠ for two pair, the winning hand.
Earlier on this table, Burak Simsek had doubled through Zampas before eliminating Nino Pansier, resulting in nearly three starting stacks for the German player.

Thomas Hueber and Akin Tuna were looking at a completed board of 9♠6♠K♦A♣7♦ in a blind-on-blind encounter. Hueber then bet the pot of 125,000, more than enough to put Tuna all-in for his last 75,000.
Tuna thought about it for a while before flicking in some calling chips. Hueber tabled A♦Q♠10♥10♠ for a bluff, but had been looked up by Tuna's K♥J♠9♦4♠, which won the pot with two pair.
