Sebastian Ting opened from middle position to 125,000. Igor Abelmasov called from the small blind.
The 6♠Q♦8♥ flop was checked around before Abelmasov check-raised a bet of 80,000 to 355,000 on the 3♠ turn. Ting made the call.
Abelmasov then led for 850,000 on the A♠ river. Ting took a moment before moving all in. Abelmasov took around 3 minutes in the tank before the clock was called on him.
The floor came to the table and with one second of time left Abelmasov flicked his cards into the muck, leaving Ting with a sizeable pot.
Andrey Pateychuk opened from the hijack and was three-bet to 275,000 by Pieter Theelen in the cutoff. It was folded back to Patechuk, who four-bet to 475,000. Theelen called.
Theelen proceeded to call bets from Patechuk on every street. First for 125,000 on the 5♠6♠Q♠ flop, then for 200,000 on the A♦ turn, and finally for Theelen's last 805,000 on the 10♦ river.
Patechuk showed Ax6x for two pair, but found himself second best against Theelen's A♠A♥ for top set to award Theelen the double up.
Matthias Lipp opened to 120,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Maksim Rogov, who shoved for 1,300,000 from the small blind. Mehmet Demirkol also went in for slightly more from the big blind and Lipp got out of the way.
Maksim Rogov: A♣K♦
Mehmet Demirkol: Q♠Q♦

Matthias Lipp: Q♣Q♠
Marian Virlanuta: K♣J♣
The board ran out Q♦K♥6♦5♥K♠ and Lipp made a set of queens on the flop, further improving to a full house on the river.
