The action was caught as Gustav Martensson, in early position, was all in and at risk for 22,000 against Sofiane Chantout, in the big blind.
Gustav Martensson: A♥J♠
Sofiane Chantout: A♠10♥
Martensson was ahead and the K♣2♦2♥ flop confirmed this. However, the 10♣ turn gave Chantout the lead with a pair of tens and had him up and out of his seat. In a twist of fate, the Q♣ river gave Martensson the nut straight, prompting him to retake his position at the table.

Flynn Bosch went all in from the cutoff for 13,000 and Sven Wildhaber rejammed in the small blind for 20,000. The rest of the table got out of the way before the pair showed down.
Flynn Bosch: 10♥9♥
Sven Wildhaber: A♥A♣
Bosch flopped some hope on 7♠9♦J♦, but the J♠ turn removed some outs. The A♠ river made Wildhaber a full house as he ascended to more than a starting stack.

A player in early position raised, Iacopo Brandi three-bet jammed for 30,000 from the hijack and Jonatan Wedde cold-four-bet jammed for approximately 50,000 from the button. Jose Torres, in the big blind, called off his shorter stack and the original raiser folded.
Jose Torres: 9♣9♥
Iacopo Brandi: Q♠J♠
Jonatan Wedde: A♠K♠
The dealer spread the 9♦9♠4♥ flop giving Torres quads, prompting Brandi to vacate his seat. The 2♠ turn and K♦ river saw Torres triple up, while Brandi lost the side pot to be eliminated.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul opened to 3,500 from early position and was called by Jack Oliver in middle position. Action folded to Andrei-Eduard Pirvulescu in the big blind, who also came along for the ride.
On the Q♥8♣6♠ flop, action was checked to Punjarojanakul, who slid out a bet of 4,000. Only Oliver called.
The J♠ rolled off on the turn, and Punjarojanakul down-sized, putting out a bet of 5,000. Oliver again called.
On the 5♦ river, Punjarojanakul emptied the clip, moving all in for around 25,000. Oliver's calling chips almost beat him into the middle.
Punjarojanakul showed K♥K♦ for pocket kings, but Oliver had the goods with A♠A♣, sending him a decent pot.

The action was picked up on a turn of 6♥K♦J♣10♦, where Felix Weis had made an all-in bet of 22,000 into a pot of 15,000. His opponent was Emanvel Hovhannisyan, who thought about it under the gun.
Eventually, he shrugged and made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Felix Weis: J♥10♥
Emanvel Hovhannisyan: A♦J♦
Weis' two pair was ahead, but Hovhannisyan still had some outs. His flush draw missed, but the A♠ river gave him the better two pair to eliminate his opponent.
