With roughly 7,000 in the middle on a flop of A♠6♥6♠, Aleksejs Ponakovs was seated in early position and check-called a bet of 2,500 from Shankui Li.
Ponakovs checked the 3♥ turn, and Li bet 6,500. Ponakovs check-raised to 18,000, which Li called.
Ponakovs bet 70,000 when the 7♦ fell on the river. Li only had 71,000 in his stack and after going through two of his time bank cards, made the call.
Ponakovs turned over K♦6♦ for trip sixes on the flop, but he was behind to the rivered straight of Li with 5♥4♥.

Gregoire Auzoux started the action in the cutoff with a raise to 2,200, and Ray Qartomy made the call from the button. Tarmo Tammel in the small blind wasn't ready to back down and three-bet to 9,500. Auzoux was the only caller.
The flop came 6♦6♥A♦ and Tammel led out with a bet of 4,500, which Auzoux called. Both players opted to check on the A♣ turn, keeping things steady.
When the Q♣ river landed, Tammel took some time, burning a time bank card before deciding to shove all in. Auzoux quickly folded.
As the hand concluded, Qartomy claimed he had folded Ax6x, lamenting that he would have flopped a full house if he had stayed in the hand.

Gromov checked the 5♣Q♦8♦ flop to O'Dwyer, who bet 5,000. Boika called and Gromov folded. O'Dwyer then led the 4♠ turn for 11,500. Boika used a time bank before calling. O'Dwyer then put Boika all in for around 42,500. Boika used two time banks before calling.
O'Dwyer had made a full house on the 4♦ river with 5♠5♥ which bested Boika's A♥Q♣. He asked the dealer how many time banks he would receive if he were to reenter before leaving the table.
