The pot had already grown to a sizable 22,000 chips when Robert Binek checked from the small blind on a board of Q♠K♦8♠2♣. Silviu Baltateanu was the only other player in the hand, and he opted to add 6,000 more chips to the pot.
Binek made the call before the 5♦ river was checked down. Binek showed A♣Q♥ for a pair of queens, upon which Baltateanu responded: "Ace is good".
Supposedly playing a lesser queen, Baltateanu was left with 22,000 chips. However, he would lose them as well, as his seat was found empty not much later, signifying his elimination.

Marcin Lesniewski opened to 800 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet by PokerStars Ambassador Ramon Colillas in middle position to 2,500. Vasileios Tsaknis swiftly produced a cold four-bet from the button of 7,000.
Lesniewski pondered for a moment before reaching for a five-bet jam of 30,000. Colillas quickly got out of the way, while Tsaknis considered his options for about 30 seconds. Tsaknis elected to call, slightly covering Lesniewski.
Marcin Lesniewski: A♠K♥
Vasileios Tsaknis: A♦K♦
A chop appeared the most likely outcome, however the 6♥J♥Q♥10♦9♥ runout gave Lesniewski a king-high flush, providing him with a full double up. The unfortunate Tsaknis was left with 2,000.

Iraklis Manikaros opened to 900 first-to-act and was called by Fabio Peluso from the hijack and Donato De Bonis in the small blind. Mykhailo Gutyi then squeezed to 5,700 from the big blind. Manikaros and Peluso folded, but De Bonis called all in for less to put himself at risk.
Donato De Bonis: 9♠8♠
Mykhailo Gutyi: K♠Q♦
The 4♣A♠7♠ flop gave De Bonis additional outs to a flush, but the 2♣ turn and 6♣ river bricked out — leaving Gutyi best with king-high and eliminating De Bonis.

Marcin Jaworski made a raise to 1,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Brandon Mifsud in the hijack. He three-bet to 2,800, but Jaworski upped the ante once more, to 6,200, once it was his turn to act again.
Mifsud played with some calling chips for a bit but ultimately took one last look at his cards before throwing them into the muck.

Claudiu Dobre open-raised preflop from the cutoff and James Clarke defended the big blind. Clarke then checked on the 5♣4♣A♠ flop before Dobre fired a continuation-bet of 700.
Clarke raised that bet to 2,400 and Dobre made the call. On the subsequent Q♠ turn, Clarke kept up the pressure with a bet of 5,200. Dobre quickly folded and relinquished another poot to his nemesis.
