Action folded around to the blinds, where Niall Farrell called from the small blind and Dejan Jakovljevic checked his option from the big blind.
Both players checked on the K♦10♠2♦ flop and then Farrell led out for 75,000 on the 7♥ turn. Jakovljevic called.
Action checked down on the 10♥ river and Farrell turned over 9♠6♣. Jakovljevic tabled Q♣2♠ for tens and deuces and collected the pot.
Serge Chechin, with Q♠J♣, opened to 100,000 from the hijack, and Vincent Meli defended the big blind with K♦10♣.

Jon Kyte raised to 105,000 in the hijack and Niall Farrell called in the cutoff.
The flop came 8♠Q♦4♠ and Kyte continued for 110,000. Farrell called and the 4♦ fell on the turn.
Kyte bet another 380,000 and Farrell again called. The river was the 10♦ and Kyte put in a stack of red 100,000 chips as Farrell snap-folded without even waiting to confirm the amount.
"First and last time I show," Kyte said as he flashed the Q♠.
"I had the good spades. The best spades," Farrell replied.
Serge Chechin opened to 100,000 from early position with 8♠5♠. Cheng Zhao called with A♣4♣ from the cutoff before Vincent Meli and his 7♠7♦ also tagged along from the button.
Zhao paired up on the A♥J♠10♦ flop to take the lead and bet 170,000 after Chechin checked. Meli quickly folded his underpair and Chechin followed suit.
Grigorii Rodin raised to 100,000 with A♦5♥ from middle position and folded out the rest of the table.
The hand after, Rodin opened to 100,000 with A♠8♣ and Serge Chechin defended his big blind with 3♠2♠.
Chechin checked in the dark before the dealer fanned the Q♦7♣6♦ flop. Rodin bet 100,000 and Chechin folded.

O'Neill folded, but Kyte moved all in and Farrell quickly called for 2,100,000.
Niall Farrell: Q♠Q♥
Jon Kyte: A♥K♠
"I always have the pair against ace-king. Finally time for ace-king to win," Kyte said heading to the 3♥7♣8♣ flop, which kept Farrell in the lead. The turn, though, was the K♣ and Kyte made top pair to move in front.
Farrell watched helplessly as the 4♣ completed the board and sealed his elimination in 16th place.
"So annoying," he said as he got up from his seat.
"You're the flip king," tablemate Dejan Jakovljevic told Kyte as the chip leader stacked up nearly 10,000,000.
Cheng Zhao opened to 100,000 with A♥Q♦ from under the gun and was called by Umberto Ruggeri, who had A♦10♦ from the small blind.
Ruggeri check-called for 120,000 on the flop before the turn checked through to the river.
With the 4♥6♦9♦6♣2♦ board on show, Ruggeri had the nut-flush and led out for 190,000. Zhao made the fold.
