There was 8,400 in the middle and the flop read 9♦6♦6♣ when Frederic Steinbach checked to his opponent, Yves Thalmann.
Thalmann fired out a bet of 2,000, only to be met with a check-jam by Steinbach, who covered Thalmann.
Thalmann thought about the spot for a moment, before sending his hand into the muck.

Ismail Akguc moved all in from early position for 7,900 and Vladimir Shabalin followed suit in the next seat, earning folds from the rest of the table, with Akguc at risk.
Ismail Akguc: A♦10♠
Vladimir Shabalin: A♠K♥
Akguc was in trouble with a dominated ace, and the A♥K♣4♥ flop left him almost drawing dead versus Shabalin's top two pair.
The 4♠ turn and 10♣ river completed the runout, Shabalin's two pair with ace-king good versus Akguc's two pair with ace-ten.

: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Richard Leblanc shoved for roughly 10,000 from the small blind and Boris Angelov reshoved over the top for around 30,000.
Richard Leblanc: J♣J♥
Boris Angelov: Q♠Q♥
Leblanc was in bad shape drawing to just two outs and the flop of 9♣A♠Q♣ left him drawing almost dead to Angelov's set.
The K♦ gave Leblanc a straight draw and additional outs, but the 7♣ river confirmed his exit from this flight.

Andreas Vlachos opened to 1,600 from middle position and was called by Niculina Grasu in the hijack and Jean Gaye in the small blind. Cecile Ticherfatine then shoved for her last 8,000 from the big blind and only Vlachos called to put Ticherfatine at risk.
Cecile Ticherfatine: K♠Q♠
Andreas Vlachos: A♣10♥
The K♣4♣3♣ flop paired Ticherfatine's king, but left Vlachos with a lot of outs to a flush or ace.
It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 2♦ turn and 4♠ bricked out — awarding Ticherfatine the double up.

Gonzalo Arias opened to 1,100 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 3,500 by Mengfei Su on the button.
Action folded to Georgios Skarparis in the big blind who produced a cold four-bet to 10,300.
After some thought, both of his opponents folded, sending a nice preflop pot to Skarparis.

Action folded around to David Kaufmann who opened the button to 1,100. Remy De Morelos completed in the big blind.
Morelos checked the monotone 2♣3♣7♣ flop to Kaufmann who fired a bet of 700. Morelos quickly check-raised to 2,000 and Kaufmann called.
On the A♣ turn, Morelos sized up and led out for 5,000 which garnered a quick fold from Kaufmann.
