Action was folded to Jack Hardcastle in the small blind, who moved all in for around 60,000. Humberto Lopes Galindo called in the big blind to put Hardcastle at risk.
Jack Hardcastle: A♦J♠
Humberto Lopes Galindo: A♥9♥
Hardcastle was in good shape versus his opponent with a dominating ace and after the J♥2♥6♠ flop held top pair versus his opponent's flush draw.
The 3♣ turn was a brick, however the 5♥ rolled off on the river to give Galindo the flush and send Hardcastle packing.

Michael Doverklint shoved for his last 10,000 first-to-act and was called by Jorge Pardo in the small blind and Julien Groenendijk in the big blind.
Both players checked down on the 8♣10♥Q♦ flop, K♦ turn, and 2♦ river.
Groenendijk tabled 9♠8♠ for a pair of eights, which was best against Doverklint's A♣4♦ — eliminating him just a few spots off the money.

Niculina Grasu was all-in from early position for 20,000 and action was folded to Reiji Kono in the small blind who called.
Marcello Miniucchi was in the big blind and pondered his options before producing the all-in three bet to 125,000. Kono quickly called, with Grasu and Miniucchi at risk.
Niculina Grasu: J♥9♥
Marcello Miniucchi: K♦K♠
Reiji Kono: Q♣Q♦
Miniucchi was in great shape with his pocket kings, and the K♣10♣J♦ flop improved him to top set, as well as giving Kono an up-and-down straight draw along with his pair of queens. Grasu wasn't out of it yet either as she had a gutshot straight draw, although Kono had two of her outs.
The 6♦ turn was a brick, and the K♥ river completed the runout, sending Miniucchi a substantial pot with quad kings, while leaving Kono with crumbs and sending Grasu to the exit.

Nicklas Dehli opened to 10,000 on the button and was three-bet to 35,000 by Boris Angelov in the big blind. Undeterred, Dehli announced he was all in and Angelov quickly called all in for 172,000 total.
Boris Angelov: A♥Q♠
Nicklas Dehli: Ax6x
It was a misstep for Dehli, who found himself dominated.
The Q♣A♦Q♥ flop left Dehli drawing dead. The 9♣ turn and 10♥ river made it official and Angelov scored the massive double up.

Gergely Rona: A♦5♦
Dinesh Alt: 8♣3♣
Rona was ahead and the 7♠6♦J♥2♥2♠ runout did not alter matters, giving Rona a timely double-up with ace-high.

Arias showed A♦Q♠ for the nut straight and Alt mucked his holding.

Maria Lampropulos opened to 12,000 in early position, only to be faced with a three-bet to 40,000 from Marcello Miniucchi.
Julien Dupre was next to act, and after confirming the raise size and giving the matter some thought, he reached for chips and produced a cold four-bet all-in jam for around 200,000, leading to swift folds from both his opponents.
