With 12,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 2♥9♠7♥, Grigory Zhiv had bet 3,100 into Jack Sinclair. A few moments later, Sinclair put in the raise to 12,500, which sent Zhiv into the tank. After a long time thinking, Zhiv decided to fold, and Sinclair was pushed the pot.

Zurab Shengelia had 20,000 chips in front of the betting-line preflop out of the big blind, and Mikita Zhytkevich had called from the small blind.
On the 6♣2♠4♣ flop, Zhytkevich checked, and Shengelia shoved. Zhytkevich had around 32,000 behind and if he wanted to continue in the hand, he would need to put them all into the middle. However, Zhytkevich elected to fold, and Shengelia was pushed the pot.
Shengelia then showed K♣K♦ for a pair of kings as he raked in the chips.

Lior Faribai was once the chip leader in the early stages but is now debating whether to reenter or geta massage.
On a board of Q♣3♠6♣2♦, Faribai had bet 6,000 on the turn then Ruben Hovsepyan raised enough to put Faribai all-in. After some thinking, Faribai called off his remaining chips which put himself at risk.
Lior Faribai: A♦3♦
Ruben Hovsepyan: 5♠4♠
Hovsepyan had turned the nuts and there was no way for Faribai to win the pot as his pair of threes were drawing dead. The 4♥ river confirmed Faribai's elimination, which left him with a decision.
"What do you think, should I reenter or get a massage?" Faribai asked across the room.
