Action was picked up on the river of 10♠A♥9♣9♦2♦ where Gerard Rubiralta had bet 17,000. Oleksii Ievchenko was in the tank pondering his decision.
There was roughly 25,000 in the pot. Ievchenko took a little more time before calling. Rubiralta tabled K♥9♥ for trips. Ievchenko passed a chunk of chips to Rubiralta and tapped the table as he scooped the pot.
Rosen Apostolov raised to 1,100 from under the gun, Yehonatan Levi three-bet to 4,000 from middle position and Antoine Labat cold four-bet to 8,800 from the cutoff.
Apostolov thought before five-bet jamming for approximately 31,000. Levi went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before making a very frustrated fold. Labat didn't take long to follow suit.

Level: 4
Blinds: 200/500
Ante: 500
The players have been sent on their first 20-minute break of the day.
Cristinel Dumitru raised 1,100 in middle position and Ghassan Bitar made the call before Sergiy Dudka squeezed to 4,500 on the button. Dumitru got out of the way, but Bitar stuck around with a call once again.
When the K♦4♥2♥ flop hit the felt, Bitar check-called a bet of 3,000.
The 7♣ hit the turn and both players tapped the table to see the 5♣ river. Bitar jammed for 20,500, and Dudka tank-folded.
The action was caught with 22,000 in the middle with two players navigating a full board of 8♥4♣10♦Q♣10♣.
Farukh Tach, in the big blind, moved all in for approximately 22,000, sending Shashank Jain, who was under the gun, into the tank.
Jain thought for some time before finally choosing to flick in the call, prompting Tach to table his hand defeatedly.
Farukh Tach: 7♠6♣ 
Shashank Jain: A♥10♥
Tach's missed straight draw had run into Jain's trips, sending him to the rail.
Vilius Augutis opened from under the gun to 1,000. Action folded around to Ming Yeung Yiu who defended the big blind.
He check-called a bet of 800 on the Q♣7♥A♦ flop before checking the 2♣ turn. Augutis opted to check back. Yiu then led the 3♥ river for 1,200. Augutis went into the tank for a moment before making the fold.
