Arsenii Karmatckii opened to 1,400 under the gun, and received a call from Jason James in middle position, before Xiaosheng Zheng produced a three-bet to 6,600 from the big blind. After some thought, both of his opponents called.
On the 5♣4♣4♠ flop, Zheng checked to Karmatckii, who fired out a bet of 5,400. James folded quickly, and while Zheng took a bit more time to make his decision, he ultimately sent his hand into the muck.
With the pot at around 8,000 and the board showing 3♥6♥6♣4♣, Tobias Eichenseher, acting first from the big blind, fired out a bet of 5,500. Erik Bauer, in the hijack, made the call, but Michel Molenaar, sitting on the button, wasn’t done yet and raised it to 16,000. Eichenseher was the only one to continue, making the call.
Both players checked the 7♦ river, bringing about a showdown. Eichenseher revealed J♠6♠ for trip sixes, but Molenaar had caught the straight with 7♥5♥ on the turn, scooping the pot.
Iurii Senchylo raised to 1,200 from middle position and Alexander Tkatschew three-bet to 3,600. Senchylo then moved all in and Tkatschew called for his remaining 19,000. Players flipped their cards, with Tkatschew at risk.
Alexander Tkatschew: Q♦Q♥ 
Iurii Senchylo: 10♥10♠
The board ran out 2♥10♣8♥6♥J♠ and Senchylo made a set of tens on the flop to win the pot, sending Tkatschew to an early dinner.

Uladzmir Zhyharau raised to 1,600 from under the gun and Aimar Gonzalez called in the cutoff before Pascal Hartmann three-bet from the small blind to 7,500. Zhyharau then four-bet to 16,400, which got a quick fold out of Gonzalez, and Hartmann ripped in his stack of around 50,000. Zhyharau quickly folded.
Apoorva Goel first lost a small pot to Barny Boatman’s ace-high with his king-high, and in the very next hand, he found himself in the small blind with just 7,700 left. With the action folded to him, Goel shoved all in, only to be called by Juan Pardo in the big blind.
Goel was once again holding king-high with K♣2♥, while Pardo showed 2♣2♠ for a pair of deuces.
Hoping for help from the board, Goel watched as it ran out 3♣J♣7♦6♠5♠, offering no assistance. Pardo scooped up the easy pot, and Goel was sent to the rail.
Nicolas Betbese only had around nine big blinds after the dinner break and shoved his stack of around 7,000 into the pot, and was called by Arsenii Karmatckii.
Nicolas Betbese: A♦10♣
Arsenii Karmatckii: A♠J♥
Betbese was behind and things looked bleak after the flop of 4♣J♠5♥ gave Karmatckii a pair of jacks. No miracle occured as the 6♦Q♥ runout meant Betbese was sent to the rail just as play resumed from dinner.
