Kayhan Mokri made it 7,000 from middle position and Enrico Camosci, who had just doubled up, three-bet to 23,000 from the hijack. Punnat Punsri cold four-bet to 60,000 from the cutoff before Mokri five-bet jammed for 243,000. Only Camosci called, and the cards were tabled with Mokri being at risk.
Kayhan Mokri: A♥A♠
Enrico Camosci: K♣K♦
Mokri was on the right side of poker's ultimate preflop cooler, until the dealer spread out a flop of K♠2♠3♣ to propel Camosci into the lead with a set of kings.
Mokri picked up a straight draw on the 5♣ turn, and he managed to find it when the 4♥ completed the board. Camosci was back down to the starting stack, and Mokri had over 500,000.

On a board of K♠7♣Q♦5♦K♥, there were around 50,000 in the pot when Aleksejs Ponakovs overbet 100,000 from the small blind. Danny Tang was in late position and after using two time banks, he put in just over a min-raise. Ponakovs snap-folded.
Morten Klein was eliminated earlier, but just hopped back in and got straight into the action. Klein made it 6,500 from under the gun, and Teun Mulder called in the big blind.
The flop came 7♣J♦A♣, and Mulder check-folded to a bet of 5,000 from Klein.

Pieter Aerts made it 7,000 from the hijack, and Seth Davies three-bet to 20,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Aerts four-bet to 61,000. Davies ripped it all in, and Aerts called for his stack of 257,000.
Pieter Aerts: K♥K♠
Seth Davies: Q♣Q♠
Both players held premium pocket pairs, but it was Aerts with the cowboys who looked poised to double up.
The runout came A♠K♦3♠10♣5♣ to give Aerts the winning hand with a set, and he moved up to over double the starting stack.

Samuel Mullur's stack had dwindled to around 45,000 and that was reduced to zero after all his chips were in the middle in a pot against Espen Jorstad.
Mullur held A♣9♠ and flopped a pair on the K♣5♦A♦ board. Unfortunately for Mullur, Jorstad held K♦K♥ for a set, which was still good when the river card landed.

Nikita Kuznetsov opened from middle position before Niklas Astedt three-bet out of the cutoff. Mikael Thuritz four-bet jammed for around 90,000, which got Kuznetsov to fold, but Astedt instantly called.
Mikael Thuritz: J♥J♣
Niklas Astedt: A♣K♦
It was a flip that saw Thuritz's pair of jacks stay ahead on the 7♣3♥10♥ flop and 5♥ turn. Astedt needed an ace or king on the river that wasn't a heart, and he found one in the form of the A♦. Thuritz headed for the exit, and Astedt moved up to 340,000.

Wai Kiat Lee opened from middle position to 7,000 and Santhosh Suvarna called on the button. Sameh Elamawy also called from the small blind.
On the flop of 7♣8♥J♥, it checked to Suvarna, who fired 13,000. Elamawy folded and Lee called. A 10♦ on the turn checked through to the 3♠ river, where Lee checked.
Suvarna then fired 27,000, which sent Lee into the tank. After using some extra time, Lee eventually let it go.
On another table, Tom Fuchs just hit the rail as he was eliminated by Punnat Punsri.

On a flop of 4♥9♠7♠, Jean-Noel Thorel checked from the hijack and Jesse Lonis bet 11,000 out of the cutoff. Thorel made the call.
A 3♠ rolled off on the turn and Thorel checked or a second time. Lonis threw out a bet of 27,000, and this was enough to get Thorel to let go of his cards.
