There were around 18,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 6♦J♣8♥ when Anton Kovalev bet 7,500. Edwin Volzhan then shoved his stack into the middle, which got Egor Ivanov to fold. Kovalev thought for some time before he eventually made the call for almost 30,000 total.
Anton Kovalev: K♣J♠
Edwin Volzhan: 10♠9♠
Kovalev didn't seem to happy to make the call but would have been delightful upon seeing the hand of his opponent. Volzhan needed a queen or an seven to earn the knockout but neither the 3♣ turn nor 9♣ river could deliver what he needed, and Kovalev doubled up.

Roman Kuzmin raised to 1,400 from under the gun and got called by three players.
On the 6♠Q♠Q♣ flop, it checked to Giorgi Tchkonia, who put out a small bet of 2,200. Nobody else seemed interested in the pot as they all folded, which meant Tchkonia took it down.

There were already 10,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 2♦2♣7♣ when Vadim Kazykhanov bet 4,500. Two players folded before Kaisar Sultanbek called
Both checked the 4♣ turn to the 10♠ river. Sultanbek checked, and Kazykhanov bet 6,500. Sultanbek needed only a few seconds to think before he decided to call.
A traditional showdown involves at least one player showing their cards, but on this occasions nobody did as Kazykhanov tossed his cards back to the dealer face down, which meant Sultanbek was awarded the pot without the need to show his cards.

Mikhail Melkumov got the last of his stack into the middle and was put at risk by Timur Auganbayev.
Mikhail Melkumov: K♠8♣
Timur Auganbayev: Q♣Q♥
Melkumov looked set for a double-up after the K♥2♣5♠ flop after he paired his king. The 10♦ turn was a brick, but the Q♦ river improved Auganbayev to a set, which sent Melkumov to the rail.

Mehmet Sarigoz opened to 3,000 and Artemii Trofimov called from the cutoff. Zurab Shengelia also called from the big blind.
On the 2♥K♠8♦ flop, Shengelia checked and Sarigoz continued for 3,000. Trofimov then raised to 8,000, which got a quick fold from Shengelia. Sarigoz thought it over but then folded Q♠Q♣ face up for the table to see, but Trofimov didn't return the favor and collected the pot without showing his cards.
