Maria Ho and Laurent Cessy were heads up on a completed board of 8♦10♦Q♥2♦10♠. Ho fired 8,000 chips from middle position, into a pot of 20,500, and Laurent Cessy shoved all in for 29,200.
Ho, who had the covering stack, tanked for a good while before finally letting go of her cards, being left with an average stack.
Jose Espina Santo check-called a bet worth 4,800 on the J♥5♥2♥J♦A♣ river in middle position and Dan Laidlaw flipped over his Q♦J♠ for trips jacks. That was good enough to win the pot as Espina Santo sent the cards into the muck.
Maxim Panyak raised to 1,200 and then called the shove by Ian Bradley for the last 5,900 in the small blind.
Ian Bradley: A♦Q♠
Maxim Panyak: K♦6♦
Bradley needed a diamond when the flop fell 10♦7♦3♦ and while he missed on the 3♥ turn, the Brit got there with the 2♦ river to hang in there with a short-stack double.
Timo Kamphues and Laszlo Molnar were battling over a 34,500-chip pot when they both checked on the 9♥9♦4♥10♥ turn. Kamphues then checked again on the J♠ river, after which Molnar decided to go for it all.
He put his stack of 24,100 chips in the middle and Kamphues asked for a count. Shortly after he heard the correct number, he stuck in a call.
Molnar showed A♥7♥ for the nut flush, beating the J♦10♦ of Kamphues, who played two pair. He was left with just three big blinds, which he would lose as well shortly after the hand.
Ioannis Oikonomidis raised to 1,200 and Nazar Buhaiov then three-bet to 3,600 from one seat over in the hijack. Erkan Soenmez called on the button only for Oikonomidis to make it 10,600 to go. Buhaiov then pushed all in to force out Soenmez, while Oikonomidis called for around 39,000.
Ioannis Oikonomidis: Q♣Q♦
Nazar Buhaiov: K♦K♠
Buhaiov had the best of it and improved to a set on the K♥10♦2♣ flop. The A♥ turn gave Oikonomidis a life line with a gutshot but the 4♥ river was a blank.
A large pot was brewing over on Table 46 as around 49,000 was in the middle to the K♦K♣5♦7♥8♥ river. Alexis Andre had checked out of the big blind and Romeric Redjdal then moved all in and Andre called after a few seconds of consideration.
Redjdal tabled his K♥5♥ for a flopped full house and Andre briefly exposed his A♠A♥ for aces and kings. Both stacks were counted and Redjdal doubled for 26,400, leaving his opponent with one big blind only. Soon after, the seat of Andre was empty.
Roman Hrabec had raised from the hijack before Jason Lau jammed all in for 6,900. The action folded back to Hrabec, who put in a call.
Jason Lau: Q♠Q♦
Roman Hrabec: J♣10♠
Lau had Hrabec drawing slim on the 7♥4♣Q♣ flop, and the Q♥ turn gave him quads to lock up the pot.
"One more!" Hrabec joked while the 6♥ river completed the board, and he paid Lau what he was owed.
What started as a limped pot then brought the squeeze of Jason Wheeler in the big blind, and he was only called by Mustafa Simsek. Wheeler then bet all the way on the 9♠5♥4♣ flop for 2,600, 7,000 on the K♥ turn as well as 20,000 on the 8♣ river with 100 chips behind.
Simsek called the first two bets and then went deep into the tank on the river before coming along with the marginally bigger stack. Wheeler showed his A♠10♠ for a bluff and Simsek won the pot with the 7♦7♠, leaping out of his seat to brief a sigh of relief.
Wheeler was forced all-in the next hand and busted, wished everyone good luck and bumped fists with Simsek before heading out.
