Action folded to Adrian Cazacu in the small blind, who raised to 80,000. Simon Lofberg was in the big blind, and he three-bet jammed for around 500,000, with Cazacu making the snap-call.
Simon Lofberg: A♣J♦
Adrian Cazacu: A♥A♦
In a blind on blind cooler, Lofberg had walked into Cazacu's rockets, and his departure was confirmed by the 8♣7♦5♠3♦9♥ runout.
Action folded to Manuel Fritz in the small blind, who raised to an amount covering Diogo Coelho's last 255,000 in the big blind. After some thought, Coelho got his chips in the middle.
Diogo Coelho: Q♠J♥
Manuel Fritz: A♦2♥
Coelho needed some help from the board, but none arrived on the 8♣7♦5♠3♦9♥ runout, Fritz's ace-high good enough for the pot.
Short-stack Maksim Shornikau jammed from early position for 265,000 and received a call from Adrian Cazacu, before Maximilian Lehmanski rejammed from the big blind for 325,000. Cazacu made the call to create a three-way all-in scenario.
Maksim Shornikau: 8♦8♣
Maximilian Lehmanski: Q♥Q♦
Adrian Cazacu: 7♠7♥
All players had pairs but Shornikau was in trouble, while Lehmanski was in great shape for the triple up.
Shornikau's exit was confirmed by the J♥J♠5♦6♠Q♣ runout, Lehmanski ending up with a full house.

Manuel Fritz raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and Sebastian Malec three-bet to 210,000 from the small blind. Fritz shoved for 560,000 and Malec called to put him at risk.
Manuel Fritz : A♣Q♠
Sebastian Malec : J♥10♥
Fritz was in great shape to double-up if he could stay ahead with ace-queen. The flop of 4♠6♠2♠ was great for Fritz as he picked up a flush draw to cancel out some of Malec's outs. The 8♣ turn and 5♥ river didn't help Malec, and Fritz had doubled up.
