Jack Kiriakus opened the action with a raise to 16,000 from early position. Daehyung Lee three-bet to 45,000 from the small blind and Kiriakus called.
The flop came 6♥8♦10♣ and Lee bet 35,000, which Kiriakus called. The turn was the Q♣ and Lee sized up to 85,000. Kiriakus folded and Lee scooped the pot.
Fabiano Kovalski raised to 12,000 in the hijack before Ahmed Karrim three-bet to 36,000 on the button. Kovalski called and they went heads-up to the K♥Q♥2♦ flop.
Karrim continued for 37,000 and Kovalski called. The turn was the 10♠ and Karrim bet another 115,000. Kovalski used two time banks before calling again as he checked over to Karriim on the 4♦ river.
Karrim checked back this time and Kovalski turned over A♥7♥. Karrim mucked and Kovalski's ace-high earned him the big pot.
There were around 50,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 7♣4♦Q♣ when Nicola Scire had bet 18,000. Philip Skarstedt then announced a raise to 48,000, which got both Jorge Artiga-Pacheco and Byron Kaverman to fold. Scire then went all in for 117,000 total, and Skarstedt called.
Nicola Scire: 4♣4♠ 
Philip Skarstedt: A♣J♣
Scire had flopped a set of fours but needed to dodge the clubs of Skarstedt. An A♥ on the turn did give Skarstedt a pair of aces but it didn't change anything, and neither did the 5♠ river.
Arriving on a completed board of J♥Q♣4♠A♦3♦, Carlos Serrano pushed all his chips in the middle from the small blind, putting his opponent Julien Rouquet in the big blind at risk.
Rouquet was playing a stack of 178,000, which meant that Serrano's bet was almost twice the size of the 95,000 pot.
Rouquet spent several time banks but eventually found the call for his tournament life. Serrano sheepishly turned over 10♣9♦ for a missed straight draw. Elated, Rouquet tabled Q♥J♠ as he was awarded the big pot.
Raoul Kanme raised to 13,000 in early position and Nicola Spallanzani three-bet to 35,000 on the button, leaving just one 1,000 chip behind. Yves Bianchetti called in the big blind and Kanme four-bet to 100,000. Spallanzani tossed in his last chip, while Bianchetti got out of the way.
Nicola Spallanzani: A♠J♥
Raoul Kanme: A♥Q♠
Kanme had Spallanzani dominated and stayed in the lead through the 10♣7♠3♥2♥10♠ board to send Spallanzani to the rail.
Martin Paap and Derk van Luijk were heads up on a flop of 6♠8♣5♥. With a pot of 85,000 int he middle, Paap made a bet of 22,000 from the small blind.
Van Luijk then made an all-in raise of 112,000. Paap mulled it over for a bit but quickly settled on a fold. Van Luijk was shipped the pot as he won the battle between the Dutch players.
