Mathew Frankland raised to 1,200 from early position, with Alexander Yen calling on the button and Andrii Nadieliaiev defending from the big blind.

Nadieliaiev had middle pair, while Frankland held top pair and the lead, with Yen holding two overcards and a flush draw.

Max Herulf raised the button to 1,000 and Carlos Perez-Dosio three-bet from the small blind to 3,100. Herulf came back with a four-bet to 9,000, which Perez-Dosio called.

Perez-Dosio check-called Herulf's continuation-bet of 5,500 on the 9J6 flop before both players checked the A turn.

The 3 arrived on the river and Perez-Dosio jammed, covering Herulf. The shove was for Herulf's remaining stack of around 23,000, and after about a minute, he made the call.

Perez-Dosio tabled AJ for top two pair to win the pot and send Herulf to the rail, with Herulf revealing A5 for a pair of aces.

After two checks from the blinds on the 498 flop, Guillermo Sanz bet 2,000 from the cutoff. Francesco Di Profio called in the small blind, and Juho Suutari came along from the big blind.

The 8 joined the board on the turn and Di Profio checked. Suutari led out for 3,000, which got Sanz to fold. Di Profio, however, wasn't going anywhere and quickly called.

When the 10 landed on the river, Di Profio instantly threw out 6,500. Suutari called, but was forced to muck after Di Profio revealed QJ, having spiked his gutshot on the river to take the pot.

Villamarin Can't Get Away From the Ladies

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Paul Tait raised under the gun to 700 and Carlos Chadha Villamarin called from the next seat. Edgard Moreau squeezed to 2,100 on the button before Tait four-bet to 5,700. Villamarin and Moreau both came along with a call.

The 824 flop came down and Tait continued for 7,500. Villamarin called while Moreau got out of the way.

When the 10 landed on the turn, Tait shoved, covering Villamarin. With 18,000 left in his stack, Villamarin thought for about two minutes before putting in the call.

Carlos Chadha Villamarin: QQ All in
Paul Tait: KK

Villamarin was pipped by one and needed to find one of the two remaining queens on the river to survive.

Instead, it was Tait who improved as the K gave him a set, sending Villamarin to the rail and all of his chips Tait's way.

Zhou Flushes Out Moreira

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Quan Zhou
Quan Zhou

In a three-way pot, Quan Zhou checked first from the big blind on the 495 flop, and Andre Moreira checked behind in middle position. Thomas M'bodj fired for 1,700 on the button, which Zhou called before Moreira check-raised to 6,700. M'bodj got out of the way, but Zhou responded by jamming, covering Moreira.

Moreira had about 14,000 left in his stack and went deep into the tank. Repeatedly counting his stack and visibly torn on how to proceed, he eventually stacked up his chips and slammed them into the middle.

Andre Moreira: A8 All in
Quan Zhou: 75

Zhou was ahead with a pair and a flush draw, and although Moreira paired up on the 8 turn, the same card improved Zhou to an unbeatable flush, sealing Moreira's fate.

The 4 river was a formality, sending Moreira to the rail while Zhou climbed to almost two starting stacks.
