Sergii Baranov checked the 8♣A♥J♥ flop to Alexander Shelukin who bet 4,000. Baranov put in the check-raise to 15,000, covering Shelukin's stack. Shelukin called and was all-in and at risk.
Alexander Shelukin: A♦7♦
Sergii Baranov: J♦8♠
Baranov was in good shape and held across the Q♥ turn and K♥ river.
Leo Margets had taken the seat of the eliminated Carl Shaw and opened to 900 from the hijack. Andrea Salamone three-bet to 2,700 from the cutoff, which folded out the button and the blinds. Margets called.
The K♦J♦4♥ flop checked through to the 5♠ turn. Margets check-called for 2,000 and then did the same for 3,200 on the Q♦ river.
Salamone tabled K♥10♣ for a pair of kings. Margets mucked her hand and dropped below the starting stack.
Action was picked up with the cards on their backs. Daniel Bedson was all-in and at risk versus the covering stack of Jason Wheeler.
Daniel Bedson: A♣10♣
Jason Wheeler: K♣K♥
Bedson could not find an ace across the 6♠3♦5♥2♦2♠ runout and was sent to the rail by Wheeler's two pair.
There was already around 20,000 in the pot as Alexander van der Swaluw and Venelin Pashev went heads-up to the turn with the board showing 5♦8♠A♠7♠.
Van der Swaluw then bet 8,000 from the cutoff and Pashev called on the button. The river was the 5♥ and Van der Swaluw moved all in for around 18,000. Pashev leaned back in his seat, ripped off his sunglasses, and tanked for a few minutes before eventually giving up his hand.
Akshay Bharadwaj open raised and picked up a call before Yehonatan Levy moved all in from the button with a short stack of just 3,800. Bharadwaj was the only caller with the covering stack and players flipped their cards.
Yehonatan Levy: A♠Q♠
Akshay Bharadwaj: K♦Q♥
The board ran out 4♥8♦5♦8♣5♥ and Levy held with his ace-high and the two pair on board to double his stack.
Sven Stok opened to 800 from early position and was called by Carlos Garcia from the small blind. Nicolas Delaplace three-bet to 2,600 from the big blind. Stok responded by making it 8,500. Garcia folded ahead of Delaplace calling.
Delaplace led into the aggressor on the Q♦J♣8♠ flop, wagering 6,500. Stok thought briefly before moving all in for around 40,000. Delaplace went into the tank but committed the 25,000 more he had behind.
Nicolas Delaplace: A♣Q♥
Sven Stok: A♠A♦
Stok had aces and was ahead of Delaplace's top pair. The J♦ turn and 9♥ river confirmed the latter's exit and Stok took in the sizable pot.
Cheng Chen raised to 800 from under the gun, David McConachie called in the small blind and Lex Veldhuis called in the big blind.
The flop came A♠3♠K♠ and action checked to Chen, who made it 1,200 to go, which only McConachie called. Both players checked it back on the 4♥ turn.
The river was the 9♦ and players checked to showdown. McConachie showed 10♣10♠ and Chen turned over K♦10♦ for a pair of kings to win the pot.
About 6,000 was in the pot when the action was picked up on a flop of Q♠5♣3♥.
PokerStars Ambassador Benjamin Spragg checked from middle position to Diego Moldes in the hijack who bet 1,500.
Spragg called to see the 4♦ come on the turn and checked again. Moldes now bet 2,500 and again Spragg called.
The river completed the board with the 3♣ and Spragg checked a final time.
Moldes bet 7,600, leaving himself just 500 behind and Spragg quickly folded.
