: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Dietrich Fast opened the button and Cosmin Nica three-bet the small blind to 1,500. Alberto Barquin then four-bet the big blind to 3,500, which got Fast to fold, and Nica called.
They went to a flop of 8♦7♦10♠ where Nica checked, Barquin bet 3,000, Nica raised to 7,500, and Barquin called.
When the J♦ dropped on the turn, Nica continued his aggressive line with a bet of 7,000, which Barquin called.
A 6♠ completed the runout and Nica fired one last bet of 10,000, and Barquin called quickly.
Nica tabled 10♦10♣ for a set, but Barquin had a straight with 9♠9♥ for the winner.

Sardor Shagulyamov had taken a hit to his starting stack, and moved all in for 3,000 from early position. He received calls from Arsalan Shemirani in the cutoff, Miika Toyras on the button, and Antreas Papaioannou in the small blind.
As the players waited for the flop, Shagulyamov quipped "Three callers, this is the respect I get.", with a tablemate commenting, "No it's better for you."
The Q♥3♠3♥ flop was checked through, with Shagulyamov calling for a heart on the turn.
The turn brought the Q♠, bringing a double-paired board, and again was checked through, with Shagulyamov commenting "Ah, I'm dead."
The 3♦ river meant a full house was on the board. Action checked to Shemirani, who fired out a bet of 5,000. Toyras called, reluctant to be forced off a potential chopped pot, but Papaioannou folded.
Toyras tabled A♦J♦, playing the board, but Shemirani had Q♦Q♣ for quad queens, much to the shock of the table.
Shagulyamov started laughing and a tablemate asked "No, you don't have the three do you?", and Shagulyamov turned over 5♣3♣ for quad threes, causing much mirth.
Shagulyamov took the beat with good grace, chuckling to himself and high-fiving the player in the next seat as he departed.

With around 4,000 already in the middle on a flop of Q♠2♦10♦, Darius Neagoe checked it over to Adrian Cazacu, who fired 1,800. Neagoe called.
Both checked the 5♠ turn to the 7♦ river where Neagoe fired out a big bet of 7,000. Cazacu snap-folded. Although Cazacu lost that pot, he has gotten off to a good start and had already doubled up his stack to around 60,000.

Nandor Fejes opened to 700 from the cutoff, and received a call from Sergio Benso in the small blind, before Karoly Odor reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 2,000 in the big blind. Both of his opponents called.
Three-way to the 7♦7♥3♠ flop, Benso checked and Odor fired out a bet of 1,100. Only Fejes called.
The turn brought the 2♣, and Odor continued to fire, putting out a bet of 3,000. Fejes made the quick call.
The 8♥ river completed the board. Odor took some time for thought, before putting out a downsized bet of 4,000. Fejes made the quick call.
Odor tabled A♠K♦ for ace-high, and Fejes took the pot with Q♠Q♦ for a pair of queens.

Aykut Arat made it 1,500 to go from under the gun and Antreas Papaioannou three-bet the cutoff to 3,000. When it got back to Arat, he called.
The flop came J♥4♥Q♣ where Arat check-called a bet of 2,000 from Papaioannou.
A 4♠ hit the turn and once Arat checked again, Papaioannou fired another bet of 4,500. Arat quickly folded.

Katerina Aristotelous and Oliver Heidel got into a preflop raising war, which ended with them both having all of their chips in the middle.
Katerina Aristotelous: J♠J♥ 
Oliver Heidel: A♥Q♣
It was a fair flip but Aristotelous held a clear advantage after the 9♥8♦J♦ flop, as she improved to a set. A 3♠ turn was no help to Heidel, as neither was the A♠ river, which meant Aristotelous doubled up.

Xiaohu Liu opened to 700 from the button and received calls from Jack Drummond-Smillie and Firoz Mangroe in the blinds.
The 9♠8♠3♥ flop was checked through. On the 7♦ turn, Mangroe led out with a bet of 1,500 when action was checked to him, with only Liu calling.
The 10♣ river completed the board, and Mangroe checked. Liu fired out a bet of 4,000, and Mangroe called quickly. Liu showed J♣6♣ for the rivered jack-high straight, and Mangroe sent his cards into the muck.

There were already around 30,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♦5♠3♦J♦ when Marios Stefani checked, and Neel Murthy fired 10,000. Stefani responded with an all-in wager, and Murthy snap-called.
Marios Stefani: A♦A♣
Neel Murthy: 9♦6♦
Murthy had a flush but Stefani had outs as another diamond on the river would give him a bigger flush. However, it wasn't to be for Stefani as the J♣ river meant he was eliminated.
"That's 1-1. He cracked my aces earlier, now I cracked his," said Murthy as he dragged the pot.
