With relatively few chips in the middle, Burak Simsek got his stack of 265,000 in the middle on a flop of 3♦Q♣Q♦ against Gergo Nagy, who covered him.
Burak Simsek: Q♠J♠9♥2♦ 
Gergo Nagy: Q♥J♦10♠6♦
Both players had trip queens with a jack kicker, but the 4♦ turn gave Nagy a flush to take the lead. The K♦ river did not upgrade Simsek's hand, leaving him empty-handed as he headed to the rail.

Espen Myrmo squeezed to 93,000 in the small blind, only being called by Sean Rafael in the cutoff.
Myrmo shipped in his remaining 110,000 on the 8♥10♠2♦ flop, quickly being called by his opponent.
Espen Myrmo: A♠K♠10♦6♥
Sean Rafael: K♦K♣3♦2♣
Myrmo's pair of tens could not improve on the Q♠4♦ runout as Rafael's kings held up to secure Myrmo's elimination.

Small blind Nikolaos Lampropoulos and Giorgos Tsoupras under the gun were looking at a completed board of Q♦2♠5♠K♥8♠. The pot amounted to 112,000 when Lampropoulos fired a bet of 38,000.
Tsoupras thought it over for a couple minutes before reluctantly throwing in a call. Lampropoulos showed him A♠Q♣9♠8♦ for the nuts, winning the pot and leaving Tsoupras with less than a starting stack.

Ante: 6,000
After an initial raise of 21,000, Andreas Zampas called in the hijack. Nico Adomeit then squeezed to 100,000 on the button before "Cashflow" put in his stack of 106,000 from the big blind.
The initial raiser folded but Zampas called. Adomeit put in the few extra chips as well and a flop of 8♥9♣5♠ was dealt. Zampas then made a pot-sized bet, which got Adomeit to fold his hand reluctantly.
"Cashflow": K♠J♠J♥9♥
Nico Adomeit: Q♥Q♣8♣5♥
Adomeit had flopped two pair, which remained best on the 7♠ turn. "Cashflow" gained flush outs, but the K♦ river brought him a higher two pair instead to take down the pot and triple up.

Sean Rafael and Robert Cowen had created a pot of 223,000 when Rafael made a bet of 70,000 from the big blind. Cowen called on the button, after which the Q♠ river completed the board.
Rafael then slid in a tower of chips for a pot-sized bet of 363,000, sending Cowen into the tank. After some thought, Cowen let go of his cards as he saw his opponent cross the seven-figure mark.
