Nozomu Shimizu opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and was called by Parker Talbot on the button.
Parker proceeded to call bets from Shimizu on every street. First for 6,000 on the 7♣10♠7♥ flop. Then for 16,000 on the A♠ turn. And finally for a hefty 65,000 on the Q♠ river.
Shimizu tabled J♠6♠ for a flush and Talbot mucked — sending the large pot Shimizu's way.

On a completed board of 9♥9♦2♦6♣10♥, the action was joined with Julien Sitbon and Benjamin Spragg heads up. Sitbon led out for 24,500 in the big blind. Benjamin Spragg took his time on the button, but ultimately made the call.
He showed K♦9♣, flopping trips, while a frustrated Sitbon mucked his hand, leaving the Frenchman with around 14 big blinds - while Spragg chipped up to above starting stack.

Simon Higgins and Ihor Hula were heads-up from the blinds on a flop of 4♠6♥10♥.
Higgins check-called an 11,000 bet from Hula and then both players checked on the 7♥ turn.
The 7♣ river paired the board and Higgins checked once more. Hula put 12,000 into the middle and Higgins called.
Hula turned over 10♣2♣ for tens-up, but Higgins tabled K♥10♠ for tens-up with a king kicker and dragged the pot.

Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 6,000 on the button and just behind him, Andrii Derzhypilskyi shoved for a bit under 50,000 from the small blind. Dimitar Danchev also went all in from the big blind for more and Vasylchenko got out of the way.
Andrii Derzhypilskyi: A♥6♥
Dimitar Danchev: 9♣9♠
Derzhypilskyi would need some help, but the 7♠6♣9♥ left him drawing to runner-runner.
The J♣ turn left Derzhypilskyi drawing dead and an irrelevant Q♦ completed the board, leaving Danchev best with a set of nines for the elimination.

Gutierrez Hernandez limped in from under the gun. Enrico Camosci then bet out for 12,000 before getting called.
The flop came 8♠5♥8♦. Hernandez checked and saw a 6,000 bet from from Camosci. The Spaniard called again and it went to a turn.
A 9♥ landed, and Hernandez checked again. Camosci bet 9,000, and after what seemed like an age, he got a fold to take down the pot. Hernandez was left with less than ten big blinds, while Camosci had nearly twice the average.
