Alann Lopes moved in his short stack of 4,400 in the hijack. Francesco Meschini called in the cutoff before Pau Vela reshoved on the button, covering the rest of the table.
Martin Nielsen then called off for 45,000 in the big blind, forcing Meschini out of the pot.
Alann Lopes: 7♥7♣ 
Martin Nielsen: A♠K♠
Pau Vela: A♥K♣
Lopes flopped top set on 3♠7♦5♣. The 6♦ turn brought chop outs, but the 8♣ river did not put a straight on the board.
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 9♦J♣6♣ 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 A♦J♦ for top two pair to win the pot and send Herulf to the rail, with Herulf revealing A♣5♥ for a pair of aces.

Romain Locquet raised under the gun, and Manuel Rossi three-bet from the button. Locquet came back with a four-bet to 14,000, which Rossi called.
With 29,000 in the pot, Locquet put out a small continuation-bet of 4,200 on the 5♣A♥6♠ flop. Rossi called.
The 9♠ appeared on the turn, and Locquet gathered up a second barrel, choosing 8,000 as the price. Rossi gave it some consideration, but ultimately let it go, allowing Locquet to add to his stack.
Arriving at the table, Konstantin Generalov was all-in and at risk for his stack of about 12,000, with Bohdan Mamitko standing in his way of survival.
Konstantin Generalov: 9♥9♣
Bohdan Mamitko: 10♥10♣
Generalov had the lower pair and found no assistance from the dealer on the A♣K♣Q♦4♦5♦ runout, sending all of his chips Mamitko's way.
In a three-bet pot, Luis Sequeira bet 2,100 from the small blind on a 7♣K♠3♦ flop. Jon Persent called under the gun, and he called again when Sequeira fired 2,300 on the A♥ turn.
The 6♥ river saw Sequeira put his opponent all in. Persent snapped off the bet, but his stack of 4,500 was moved to Sequeira when the latter opened A♠K♣ for two pair, besting the A♦4♦ of Persent.
