Alejandro Lococo opened to 2,700 from the button and was called by Mercedes Osti in the small blind and by Max Neugebauer in the big blind.
All three of them checked on a flop of 3♥8♠J♥. However, after Osti checked on the turn J♠, Neugebauer bet 6,500. Lococo called, but Osti quickly check-raised to 25,000.
Neugebauer folded, and so did Lococo, who revealed K♥K♣. Osti then asked the dealer to reveal one of her cards, and he turned over the J♦ for trips.
Thanks to this pot, her stack keeps growing and now reaches 220,000 chips.
Catalin Moraru was all in preflop for around 40,000 against Andrii Derzhypilskyi, who had him covered as the players flipped their cards.

Andrii Derzhypilskyi: A♠K♦
The board ran out 2♥A♥3♦5♠Q♦ to give Derzhypilskyi a pair of aces on the flop. He won the pot and Moraru was eliminated from the tournament.
Michel Karim on the button had Alessandro Minasi in the big blind covered when the latter moved all in on 9♥9♦4♥.
Karim made the call for around 20,000.
Alessandro Minasi: Q♦9♠
Michel Karim: 9♣6♣
The turn brought the A♣ and the river was the 5♥ leaving Karim's trip nines outkicked by Minasi's queen kicker.
Nemanja Lukovic opened to 2,400 from the button, and was only called by Eduardo Lopes on the button.
The dealer fanned a flop of 3♦K♥A♣, and Lukovic continued with a bet of 2,200. Lopes check-called, then both players decided to check on the turn 3♣.
Finally, the 4♦ landed on the river, and Lopes led out for 3,800. Lukovic waited a few seconds, then folded.
Action was picked up on the river of Q♥7♣5♣J♥J♠ with Tamer Kamel facing an all in from Adem Marjanovic.
With over 50,000 in the middle, Kamel would be shortstacked if he made an incorrect call.
Deep in the tank, he said: " Just one more minute."
He leaned in to get a closer look at Marjanovic, who was covering his face, to get a read.
In the end, Kamel mucked his holding.
Filippo Russo open raised and Tobias Peters moved all in for around 16,000. Russo made the call with the bigger stack and the players flipped their cards.
Tobias Peters: J♥J♣
Filippo Russo: A♥Q♥
