Segebrecht tabled the 
for aces full and Pardo flashed 
for a flush.
"Wow, checked flop?!" Harpreet Gill in the two seat gasped while Segebrecht was paid off.

Benjamin Spragg raised to 2,200 on the button and then called the shove by Ovidiu Ont for 15,300 in the small blind.
Ovidiu Ont: 
Benjamin Spragg: 
The 
board gave Spragg two pair and he scored the knockout. Before the table broke right after, Spragg recalled the previous hand in which he more than doubled in a three-way all-in. According to the Brit, Siarhei Ahapau was all-in for 24,000 with 
and Thomas Muehloecker isolated with the

Vasileios Panagiotidis looked up two shorter stacks when Jules Dickerson was all-in for the last 20,500 and Ramiro Petrone got it in from the very next seat for 50,800, creating the following three-way all-in showdown.
Jules Dickerson: 
Ramiro Petrone:
Vasileios Panagiotidis:
The 
flop and river put the Greek on the brink of a double knockout but Petrone spiked the 
on the river. Perhaps the most well-known Greek word followed several times, as Panagiotidis exclaimed "malaka" before parting ways with a big portion of his stack.
To those not knowing the meaning, it can be said to a "good friend" or the exact opposite and is frequently used when explaining hand histories.

Ole Schemion had 2,200 in front while on the button and Alex Kulev then raised to 11,500 in the big blind. A potential third player was already forced out and Schemion gave it some thought before calling. Kulev bet the 
flop and Schemion folded.
One table over, the turn showed 
and Aleksandar Tomovic checked in the big blind. Christian Rudolph bet 8,600 for Tomovic to call. Both checked the river and Tomovic turned over 
for a pair and missed straight draw. That was no good, as Rudolph had the superior pair in 
.
