Fabian Bernhauser raised from the hijack, receiving calls from Grzegorz Kozieja and Leonid Orman, in the respective blinds.
The 3♦K♣2♠ flop saw the action check to Bernhauser, who continued for 1,500. Kozieja raised to 5,100 and Orman cold called. Bernhauser folded.
The 3♣ turn checked through to the 4♠ river. Kozieja checked again. Orman moved all in, asking for Kozieja's effective stack of 15,600 and Kozieja was forced to fold.
Ion-Silviu Scobai, Saleh Assi, Konstantin Voronin, Athanasios Andrianopoulos, and Yunsheng Sun had all put in 1,900 preflop to see a flop of Q♣2♣4♦ which checked to Sun, who fired 4,000. Only Scobai called.
The turn brought a 3♥ which was checked through to the 9♦ river. Scobai reached for chips and fired 6,000. Sun didn't need to think for too long and let his hand go immediately, and Scobai was pushed the pot.
With the pot sitting at around 24,000 and the board displaying 9♣A♦10♠7♥7♠, Tom Kunze pushed all in for 30,200. Kirill Beutler took his time weighing his options, repeatedly asking Kunze if he would at least show one card if he folded. But Kunze stayed silent, making Beutler’s decision even tougher.
In the end, Beutler decided to fold, revealing an A♥ in hopes that Kunze would show him a card. However, Kunze simply claimed the pot without revealing anything, leaving Beutler disappointed.
The pot stood at around 12,000 with three players looking at a board of Q♥4♥A♠8♠.
Nichita Verbitchi, who was under the gun, bet out 5,500, a player in middle position called and Abdel-hakim Khelifa, on the button, raised to 18,200. Verbitchi moved all in for 55,300 and the player in middle position folded. Khelifa asked for a count and made the call.
Nichita Verbitchi: J♥10♥ 
Abdel-hakim Khelifa: A♥Q♣
Verbitchi was behind Khelifa's two pair, but had outs to both a straight and a flush. The 5♦ didn't oblige for Verbitchi and he was sent to the rail.
Julien Sitbon opened under the gun to 1,600. Ramzi Karam called from the cutoff, Andrey Golubev called from the button, and Pablo Silva squeezed to 8,000 out of the big blind. Sitbon folded, but Karam and Golubev called.
The action checked to Golubev on the 7♦2♦2♣ flop and he bet 9,000. Silva folded and Karam called.
The Q♠ turn went check-check and the 4♥ came on the river. Karam bet 20,000, which was enough to put Golubev all-in. Golubev looked back at his cards before tossing them into the muck.
Baris Topuz got things rolling with a raise to 1,300, and Jon Kyte, sitting in the hijack, made the call.
When the flop came down 4♦A♠Q♦, Topuz continued his aggression with a bet of 1,100, which Kyte matched without hesitation.
Topuz ramped up the pressure on the 7♠ turn, firing out 3,500. But this time, Kyte raised it to 10,200, prompting Topuz to take a moment before deciding to call.
As the 6♥ hit the river, Topuz opted to check. Kyte seized the moment and went all-in. Topuz spent some time in the tank but ultimately decided to fold, letting the hand go.
Topuz asked, "Five-six diamonds?" but Kyte shook his head and replied, "No, don’t shove without the nuts," revealing his AxQx for two pair.
There were already around 10,000 chips in the middle on board of 4♠J♥9♣Q♠ when both Dawid Smolka and Darius Neagoe checked.
On the 7♦ river, Smolka pondered for a while before he shoved for 7,800. Neagoe took some time and after around thirty seconds, he made the call.
Smolka showed Q♥8♥ for a pair of queens, and Neagoe flashed K♣J♦ before he mucked.
Mikhail Katykhin limped in from under the gun, Leonid Logunov completed in the small blind and Atanas Pavlov, in the big blind, checked his option.
The Q♣10♣6♣ flop checked through to the 8♥ on the turn. Logunov took a stab at this pot for 800.
"Just on big blind" reassured Logunov when Palov enquired about the size of the bet. Palov elected to raise to 3,700, earning two quick folds.
