Erik Lindqwist raised to 16,000 under the gun and Victoria Livschitz called in early position.
Both players checked the A♣8♠7♦ flop. The turn was the 3♠ and Lindqwist bet 40,000.
Livschitz called to see the 6♣ river, where Lindqwist bet 175,000. Livschitz called for her last 166,000 as Lindqwist turned over A♥Q♠ for top pair. Livschitz, though, had 8♣8♥ for a set to double up.
Action folded to David Cabrera on the button, who opened to 16,000, with Darius Gadeikis and Christian Steindel in the blinds making the call.
On the K♠9♠3♥ flop, action was checked to Cabrera, who fired out a bet of 17,000. Only Steindel called.
The A♠ rolled off on the turn, and Steindel check-jammed for 160,000 versus a bet of 27,000 from Cabrera. After some thought, Cabrera made the call with the covering stack.
Christian Steindel: Q♠9♦ 
David Cabrera: A♥9♦
Steindel had run his pair of nines into Cabrera's two pair, aces and nines.
However Steindel still had outs to the spade draw, and sure enough the 3♠ rolled off on the river to send him the double-up.
Riccardo Saraniero deserves to put his cape on as he just made an insane hero call against Henadzi Deilik.
According to Saraniero, Deilik raised the cutoff to 16,000 and Maksim Rogov called in the small blind. Saraniero also called in the big blind.
The flop came 4♦J♣3♥ where the action checked to Deilik, who bet 25,000. Rogov folded and Saraniero called.
On the 9♣ turn, Saraniero checked again then Deilik fired another bet of 55,000. Saraniero stuck around to see the river.
When the 6♦ completed the board, Saraniero checked for a third time and Deilik fired 151,000, leaving himself around 40,000 behind. Saraniero had to think about it but in the end, decided on a call.
Deilik then flipped K♣8♠ for king-high, and Saraniero showed A♣3♦ for bottom pair to take the pot.
Everyone folded to the small blind, Artem Kotkovskyi, who raised to 39,000, only to be met with an all-in shove from Iurii Okolovich. Kotkovskyi asked for a count, and the dealer confirmed 231,000. After a moment, Kotkovskyi called, and they went to showdown.
Iurii Okolovich: A♠K♣
Artem Kotkovskyi: 10♠10♣
Okolovich needed the board’s help to stay in the tournament, and the flop delivered with J♦K♥K♦, giving him trips. Now Kotkovskyi was the one needing help, but the 9♥ turn and 2♣ river didn’t come through. Okolovich secured a double-up leaving Kotkovskyi shaking his head about the outcome.
Lucien Cohen was seen raking in a pot after doubling through Zhewen Hu.
The chips were already in the middle on a full board of Q♠J♣K♠2♣Q♦ and Cohen's K♣K♦ was face up on the table for everybody to see. Hu's cards were already in the muck, but it was clear he didn't have the two remaining queens needed to eliminate Cohen. Regardless, Hu still has a respectable stack of almost 600,000, while Cohen doubled to almost 200,000.
Philip Joyce, Mohamad El Rais, and Alexane Najchaus went to the turn on a board of 6♥9♦10♦4♣ when Joyce led out for 45,000 in the big blind. Najchaus moved all in for 170,000 in the hijack, El Rais got out of the way in the cutoff, while Joyce snap-called.
Najchaus had 7♦6♦ for a pair and flush draw as she needed to improve against Joyce's A♥10♣. The river was the K♣ and Joyce's pair of tens held up to send Najchaus to the rail.
Heads-up on a flop of 10♦9♦7♥, Darius Gadeikis bet 55,000 from the small blind and Christopher Nguyen raised to 145,000 in early position. Gadeikis called.
The turn was the 6♦ and Nguyen moved all in. Gadeikis, with around 350,000 remaining, quickly folded.
"Aces. It feels like aces," tablemate David Cabrera said after the hand.
At the same time at another table, Romain Retiere was all in for 110,000 from the hijack and Guillermo Gordo put him at risk in middle position.
Romain Retiere: Q♦Q♣
Guillermo Gordo: A♦10♦
Retiere remained in the lead with his queens through the turn on a board of K♠J♠5♥9♦, but Gordo caught the A♣ on the river to win the pot and send Retiere to the rail.
Mehmet Demirkol was all-in for 130,000 and at risk versus Samuel Dray.
Mehmet Demirkol: K♦Q♣
Samuel Dray: A♠6♠
Demirkol needed some help from the board, but he whiffed the J♥7♥4♠7♠5♥ runout, Dray's pair of sevens with ace-high being good enough for the pot.
Shankui Li had moved all-in from the cutoff for around 80,000 over an open from Dick Postel, and Akin Tuna had called out of the small blind. When the action got back to Postel, he also called.
On a flop of 3♠K♠Q♦, Tuna led all-in, and Postel snap-called for his stack of just less than 200,000.
Shankui Li: A♠Q♥
Dick Postel: A♦K♦
Akin Tuna: A♥K♥
Both Postel and Tuna had the same hand, which left Li with a lot of work to do if he wanted to survive. However, it was Postel who loved the turn as the 5♦ gave him a backdoor flush draw.
"Diamond!" said Postel. "No," replied Tuna.
Postel punched the air in celebration when the 7♦ dropped on the river, which completed his flush and saw him scoop the main and side pots. After that hand, Postel was left with around 650,000, Li was eliminated, and Tuna still has a healthy stack with around 800,000.
With about 24,000 in the pot and the flop showing 9♦7♠7♣, there were just two players involved: Vytautas Semaska in the small blind and Adi Rajkovic in the big blind. Semaska led out with a bet of 8,000, but Rajkovic responded by raising it to 20,000, and Semaska called.
When the 4♥ hit the turn, Semaska checked, and Rajkovic seized the moment to bet 32,000. Back to Semaska, he took a moment to think, burning through a time bank card before deciding to shove all in. Rajkovic quickly called, leading to a showdown.
Semaska revealed K♦9♠ for two pair, while Rajkovic showed A♠7♥ for trips with sevens. The Q♥ on the river didn’t change anything, allowing Rajkovic to double up.
