Rutger Hennen opened to 20,000 from the button and saw Marius Gierse and Alexander Seibt call from the blinds.
Hennen continued for 45,000 on the A♠Q♣A♦ flop and only Seibt called. The latter then check-called for 45,000 on the 9♥ turn. Seibt, who had less than 90,000, moved all in on the K♥ river and was snap-called.
Seibt tabled A♥3♠ while Hennen had A♣J♥. Seibt then celebrated the chop pot, with Hennan calling the poker vlogger lucky as the king and queen on the board nullified his jack kicker.

On the K♣K♠9♠ flop, Thumm check-called versus a bet of 30,000 from Baltateanu.

Guillermo Gordo: 4♦4♠
Bryan Paris: 9♥9♣
Gordo was crushed by Paris' bigger pair as the board ran out A♥3♦10♦A♦10♠, counterfeiting both pocket pairs.
