Niklas Astedt opened to 20,000 from the cutoff with K♦7♦ and Thomas Santerne three-bet to 60,000 on the button with A♣J♥. Samuel Ju called cold in the big blind with A♥Q♥ and Astedt let his hand go.
The flop came K♠4♥10♦ and Ju checked to Santerne, who bet enough to put Ju all in for his last 82,000.
Ju laid his hand down and Santerne took down the pot with the worst hand.
Steve O'Dwyer raised to 22,000 from the button, Santhosh Suvarna called in the small blind, as did Nacho Barbero, in the big blind.
The 9♣J♣Q♣ flop checked through to the 4♠ on the turn. Suvarna bet out 40,000 and only O'Dwyer called.
The 8♦ river saw Suvarna size up to 120,000. O'Dwyer thought for some time before raising to 397,000, an effective all-in with 1,000 behind the line. Suvarna used several time banks before choosing to fold.
Kayhan Mokri opened to 22,000 first-to-act and Samuel Ju shoved for his last 82,000 from the small blind. Mokri called to put Ju at risk and hands were revealed.
Samuel Ju: 10♥10♠
Kayhan Mokri: A♦K♠
It was a race, but the K♣3♥9♦ flop vaulted Mokri into the lead with a pair of kings.
The 7♠ turn and 5♥ river failed to improve Ju and he was eliminated.

Santhosh Suvarna raised to 20,000 from the cutoff, receiving calls from both the blinds.
The 5♣6♥7♣ flop checked through to the 10♥ on the turn. Both the blinds checked again and Suvarna placed a delayed continuation bet of 29,000. Only Morten Klein, in the small blind, made the call.
The K♦ river checked to a showdown. Klein tabled J♠10♣ having turned a pair of tens, securing him the pot.
Niklas Astedt opened to 20,000 from under the gun with Q♠10♠ and was three-bet to 72,000 by Kayhan Mokri from the small blind with K♣Q♥. Astedt called.
Mokri continued for 21,000 on the 5♠A♣8♣ flop and Astedt raised to 52,000. Mokri quickly let his hand go and Astedt dragged the pot.
Kayhan Mokri opened for 22,000 on the button with Q♦4♦ and Sam Greenwood shoved for 347,000 from the small blind. Niklas Astedt also went all in for more from the big blind and Mokri let his hand go.
Sam Greenwood: A♥K♣
Niklas Astedt: A♦10♦
Greenwood was in good shape to double and stayed that way on the 5♣2♠8♥ flop, but the 10♣ turn paired Astedt to give him the lead.
The J♠ river changed nothing and Greenwood was sent to the rail.
