Farid Jattin opened under the gun and Renji Mao three-bet jammed for 745,000 in middle position.
Action folded to Alex Glogar in the small blind, who took a minute or so before moving his chips into the middle. Jattin folded.
Renji Mao: 3♥3♣
Alex Glogar: 10♠10♣
Glogar was in great shape and improved to top set and eventually a full house on the 10♥9♥6♣8♠8♥ board to send Mao packing.
Heads-up on a flop of Q♥J♠4♥, Mathias Siljander moved all in for around 300,000 and Cedric Schwaederle called.
Mathias Siljander: Q♣J♥
Cedric Schwaederle: A♣K♣
Siljander was ahead with top two pair until the 10♣ turn gave Schwaederle a straight. The river was the 6♥ and Siljander was sent to the rail.
Cards were on their backs in a button versus cutoff spot with Lars Kamphues at risk against Sonny Franco.
Lars Kamphues: K♥Q♠
Sonny Franco: A♦Q♥
Kamphues was in bad shape with his king-high dominated, but he improved to a straight draw on the J♣3♦9♣ flop.
The K♠ came off on the turn to put Kamphues ahead and he stayed there on the 9♦ river to score a double up.
Alexander Glogar was already all-in preflop and at risk for his last 930,000 from the big blind against Renji Mao, who was in the hijack.
Alexander Glogar: A♣Q♣
Renji Mao: 7♠7♣
It was a fair fight, but the 6♠8♥A♥4♦Q♥ runout improved Glogar to two pair and he doubled up.
Jakob Miegel moved all in for 450,000 on a flop of 9♦8♣2♦ from the big blind and Yunsheng Sun called in early position. Vladimir Shabalin then reshoved in the cutoff and Sun called once more to create a massive three-way all in with 5,000,000 in the pot.
Jakob Miegel: 7♦6♦
Vladimir Shabalin: A♦J♦
Yunsheng Sun: 8♥8♦
Sun showed down a set of eights while both Shabalin and Miegel were on flush draws. The 7♠ turn was no help to either of them, while the A♠ came on the river to secure the pot for Sun.
The stacks were counted down and Sun had 2,090,000 remaining. He had Shablin covered by just 30,000 and sent both players to the rail.
"What can I do?" Shabalin said.
"I didn't expect to get it in that bad," Miegel added.
Heads-up on a board of 2♥3♣K♦7♥, Parker Talbot bet 345,000 from early position and Daniel Kyosev moved all in from middle position. Talbot snap-called for 665,000.
Kyosev showed K♣Q♣ for top pair, but Talbot had A♠A♣ and was poised for a double up as the 7♠ completed the board.
Nicolas Vayssieres opened to 160,000 from under the gun and Jimmy Kebe shoved for his last 650,000 on the button. Action folded back to Vayssieres, who called to put Kebe at risk.
Jimmy Kebe: A♠K♥
Nicolas Vayssieres: A♥J♥
Kebe was the favorite to double with Big Slick, but the 5♦5♥7♠A♣J♣ runout paired Vayssieres’ jack on the river to end Kebe’s run.
