Pavel Ignatov moved all in for 3,400 from early position. Marcelo Manfredini called in the big blind for 2,400 more.
Pavel Ignatov: J♠J♥
Marcelo Manfredini: 10♦7♣
Ignatov held across the 2♥6♦6♥9♠4♣ runout to secure the double up.
Samir Moukawem open-raised from late position and Nenad Dukic three-bet to 9,500 from the button. Nemanja Lukovic called in the small blind and was all in for less than the raise, then Moukawem made the call.
The flop came 9♣2♥10♠, prompting both Moukawem and Dukic to check back. The turn was the 9♦ and Moukawem bet 10,000, which Dukic called.
The river was the Q♥ and Moukawem checked. Dukic bet 15,000 and Moukawem folded.
Dukic turned over A♠A♦ for a pair of aces, two pair with the nines on board. Lukovic's hand was quickly scooped into the muck by the dealer, but in any case he was eliminated from the tournament.
Xiaohu Liu raised to 2,500 from the hijack and Espen Oeye called on the button.
The 7♥A♦2♦ flop saw Liu continue for 5,000. Oeye went into a lengthy tank before making the call.
The 8♥ turn saw Liu size up to 11,000. Oeye elected to move all in for 48,100 and Liu had a decision.
"Gamble!" Liu exclaimed as he chose to make the call.
Espen Oeye: J♦7♦
Xiaohu Liu: J♥9♥
Oeye seemed surprised his pair of sevens were best. The J♠ failed to complete Liu's flush or straight draw and Oeye doubled up.
Fabrice Maltez opened to 3,000 on the button. Valeriu Rosca moved all in from the small blind for 51,200. Maltez called.
Fabrice Maltez: J♣J♥
Valeriu Rosca: K♣K♥
Rosca's kings made two pair across the Q♥4♦10♣4♣2♦ runout to take a chunk of Maltez's chips.
Following a late position open-raise to 2,500, Yakov Bar El three-bet to 5,500 from the button, then Georgy Komarov four-bet for 11,500 from the small blind. The original raiser folded and El called.
The flop came 10♦9♥4♥ and Komarov made a continuation bet of 5,000, which El called.
The turn was the 7♠ and Komarov bet 10,000. El had less than 10,000 and called all in. He showed K♦Q♥ for two overcards with a gutshot straight draw and Komarov turned over 9♦9♠ for a set of nines.
The river was the A♠ and Komarov held to win the pot, sending El to the exit.
Action was picked up on the flop of 8♥2♥Q♠ with [Removed:553] all in and at risk for around 20,000 versus the covering stack of Michele Guerrini.
[Removed:553]: A♥3♥
Michele Guerrini: Q♣8♣
Simon couldn't find a heart across the 3♣ turn or J♣ river and was sent to the rail.
Alessandro Pichierri raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, Ihar Soika three-bet to 8,300 from the big blind, and Pichierri four-bet jammed for Soika's effective stack of 31,300. Soika snap-called.
Ihar Soika: 10♥10♦
Alessandro Pichierri: A♦Q♣
This flip fell in the favor of Pichierri on the 4♠2♦Q♥ flop. The J♥ turn and A♣ river improved Pichierri to two pair, sending Soika to the rail.
Action was on the river on a board of 4♦A♠9♦J♣4♥ and Bernat Capdevila Montes checked. Yunkyu Song made a large bet of 40,000 into an already inflated pot and Montes went into the tank.
Eventually, Montes made the call and turned over J♠9♠ for two pair. Song had K♦10♦ for a missed flush draw that he'd turned into a bluff.
"Nice call, makes sense," said a neutral player as Montes scooped in the pot.
