Bo Jin opened the action with a raise to 400 from the cutoff, only to see Karim Lehoussine respond with a three-bet to 1,400 from the button. Andrija Cvetkovic, sitting in the big blind, opted to call, while Jin stepped aside.
The 9♥J♠A♠ flop saw Cvetkovic check to Lehoussine, who continued with a bet of 1,500. Cvetkovic, however, came back strong with a check-raise to 5,500. After a brief pause, Lehoussine made the call.
When the 9♣ landed on the turn, Cvetkovic led out with a bet of 4,000, keeping the pressure on. Lehoussine once again called.
The river brought the 10♣, and Cvetkovic wasted no time, firing a sizable 13,000 bet. Lehoussine went deep into the tank, visibly unhappy with the spot, but eventually made the call.
At showdown, Cvetkovic tabled J♣J♦, revealing a full house—jacks over nines. Lehoussine nodded, seemingly expecting the result, and mucked his hand, conceding the sizable pot to Cvetkovic.
Cedric Schwaederle was seen doubling up through Phil Gross, which brought his stack to around 20,000.
A full board of 6♦9♠10♥10♠4♣ was showing with the cards already on their backs and Schwaederle's stack of almost 10,000 in the middle. Gross' Qx9x was quickly turned over and mucked as Schwaederle had turned trips with Q♠10♣ to secure the double-up.
Artem Shaganov raised to 500 from middle position, Antonio Asaro three-bet to 1,600 from the button and Shaganov called.
The flop came 9♣9♥3♠ and Shaganov checked. Asaro bet 1,200 and Shaganov called. The turn was the 10♦ and Shaganov checked again. Asaro sized up to 4,000 and Shaganov called.
Both players checked to showdown on the 7♦ river. Shaganov showed A♣K♦ for ace high with the nines on board. Asaro mucked and Shaganov won the pot.
Andrei-Sorin Spataru opened to 500 from the cutoff and was called by Jonas Lauck in the small blind and Pavel Marecek in the big blind.
Action checked through on the 7♣6♦9♦ flop and it was checked to Spataru, who bet 600 on the 3♦ turn. Both Lauck and Maracek called.
The Q♦ brought four cards to a flush on board and everyone checked.
Lauck tabled 7♠6♠ for a flopped two pair and both his opponents mucked to award Lauck the pot.
