Jerome Besselievre moved all in for 1,025,000 under the gun, Andrew Dickinson reshoved in middle position, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Jerome Besselievre: A♥K♦ 
Andrew Dickinson: 10♣10♠
Besselievre was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 9♦7♣4♥. The 5♥ turn kept Dickinson in the lead, but Besselievre hit the A♠ on the river to win the pot and double up.
Scott Margereson defended his big blind when Antoine Berruel opened his button. He then check-called Berruel's continuation-bet of 150,000 on the 10♣A♣9♠ flop before leading out for 225,000 on the 9♥ turn.
Berruel called to the 6♠ river, where the hand ended when Berruel mucked his cards to Margereson's all-in bet.
Ben Hurwitz was all in from under the gun and covered by Marcin Lesniewski in early position by only 75,000.
Ben Hurwitz: 9♦9♥
Marcin Lesniewski: A♠K♣
Hurtwitz improved to a set on the 5♣8♥9♠ flop, and held on the 2♣ turn and 3♦ river to secure a huge double-up, leaving Lesniewski hanging on.
Just a few hands later, Lesniewski was forced all in from the big blind, and only Hurwitz called from the small blind.
Marcin Lesniewski: 10♣3♦
Ben Hurwitz: A♦9♥
Both missed on the Q♦7♦5♣J♦6♠ runout, and Hurwitz was sent home in 22nd place.
Oleksandr Sybirtsev raised to 200,000 in the hijack, Matthias Auer moved all in for 700,000 in the cutoff, and Sybirtsev called.
Matthias Auer: Q♥Q♠
Oleksandr Sybirtsev: 10♠10♦
Both players took out their phones and began filming the action as Auer was ahead with his queens. The board ran out A♠4♠3♥7♣9♥ and he stayed in the lead to double up.
Yulian Bogdanov bet 125,000 from under the gun on a flop of 3♠5♥A♦ and Rama Prema called in the big blind.
Bogdanov bet another 425,000 on the 8♠ turn, and Prema again called. Both players checked the 4♣ river, and Prema showed A♣J♠ to win the pot.
At another table, Jerome Besselievre bet 125,000 from the big blind on a board of 8♦4♦4♠2♣ and Simon Lofberg called in the cutoff.
Besselievre checked the 5♣ river, then called when Lofberg bet 550,000. Lofberg turned over A♦A♣, and Besselievre mucked.
Claudio Di Giacomo on the button, Vitezslav Cech in the small blind, and big blind Yoshihiro Inoue got it all in preflop. Inoue was at risk for 1,700,000, Di Giacomo had 5,450,000 in his stack, and Cech had both opponents covered.
Yoshihiro Inoue: A♦7♦
Claudio Di Giacomo: 10♥10♣
Vitezslav Cech: K♠K♣
The board ran out an inconsequential Q♣5♣J♥5♦J♣. Cech's kings held to ship the gigantic pot, eliminating both Inoue and Di Giacomo from the PokerStars Open.
Claudio Di Giacomo opened to 200,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Antoine Berruel in the hijack who three-bet to 550,000.
Di Giacomo called, and the players saw a 7♥4♠4♥ flop.
Di Giacomo check-raised to 725,000 after facing a 275,000 bet by Berruel.
Berruel took some time before finding a fold, passing the pot to Di Giacomo.
It folded to Amato Landi in the small blind, who wagered his entire stack of 1,200,000 with an all-in bet. Lulei Hu quickly called in the big blind, covering his neighbor.
Amato Landi: Q♥8♥
Lulei Hu: A♦6♣
Hu remained ahead by pairing on the 6♠5♦4♥ flop, but Landi struck back on the 8♠ turn to take the lead. The 10♦ river provided Hu with neither a chop nor a win, meaning Landi was awarded a double-up.
Yoshihiro Inoue opened his button to 225,000. Scott Margereson defended his big blind, after which the K♣3♠4♥ flop was fanned. Inoue continued for 125,000, which Margereson check-raised to 375,000.
After Inoue called, both players checked through the 5♣ turn. The 7♣ river saw Margereson re-aggress, announcing a bet of 950,000. Inoue called before Margereson's chips had even hit the felt.
The Japanese player tabled 4♠4♣ for a set, but it was no good against the K♠6♣ of Margereson, who had made a backdoor straight to win the sizable pot.
David Urban raised to 200,000 on the button before Yulian Bogdanov three-bet to 600,000 in the small blind. Yang Zhang then moved all in for 2,000,000 in the big blind, and both opponents quickly folded.
"I'm not going to Bulgaria," Urban said to Bogdanov.
Urban then opened to 200,000 again in the cutoff, and Bogdanov three-bet to 500,000 on the button. Urban moved all in for 1,700,000, and Bogdanov snap-folded once again.
