Preflop, Matteo Cecchetti got his stack of 750,000 in from the small blind, being at risk against Barbara Akemi in the hijack.
Matteo Cecchetti: A♠Q♥ 
Barbara Akemi: K♥K♣
Akemi faded an ace on the 5♥10♥7♦7♠4♦ runout, sending Cecchetti to the exit and soaring to a stack worth over 100 big blinds.
Edward Pak had raised to 40,000 under the gun when Brock Wilson shoved all in for 185,000 on the button. Boutros Awad then called in the small blind, prompting Pak to let go of his cards.
Brock Wilson: A♥K♠
Boutros Awad: A♣J♥
Awad requested a "cheeky jack", but the deck did not have on in store for him. Wilson doubled up on the 10♠6♠8♦8♠9♥ runout as he remained in contention for the EPT title.
Oleh Pritsak moved all in from the hijack for 220,000 and Jose Quintas shoved over the top for 705,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, the players went to showdown.
Oleh Pritsak: Q♥Q♠
Jose Quintas: K♣J♣
Pritsak's queens avoided the bad beat on the A♥5♠2♣8♠5♥ runout, and he doubled up to more than 20 big blinds.
Xiaosheng Zheng raised from early position, and when Victor Angelescu moved all-in for 345,000 from the small blind, Zheng called.
Victor Angelescu: A♠A♦
Xiaosheng Zheng: A♣Q♠
There were no nasty surprises awaiting Angelescu from the deck, as the 9♠4♦10♣K♣10♦ runout kept his pocket aces in the lead, earning him a double-up.
Antoine Labat raised to 40,000 from the hijack and Luigi Minolfi three-bet the cutoff to 100,000. Alexandru Toderita cold-called from the small blind, but Labat folded.
Both players checked the A♦5♣2♠ flop to see the 4♠ on the turn. Toderita checked and then called Minolfi's delayed continuation-bet of 75,000.
Another round of checks followed on the 7♥ river, and Toderita won the pot with A♠Q♠ for a pair of aces.
More than 87% of the time, anyone who enters a $5 buy-in Spin & Go tournament online at PokerStars will be playing for a prize pool of either double or three times their buy-in. However, a recent $5 Spin & Go was special because the 240,000x jackpot multiplier was triggered, meaning the trio of entrants was playing for a gargantuan $1.2 million prize pool. The chances of that happening? 0.10 in a million!
PokerStars Spin & Go tournaments are a winner-takes-all when the prize pool multiplier is between 2x and 5x. The top two finishers win a slice of the pie when a 10x is hit, with anything 25x or larger paying out all three entrants.
When "KuCoH" of Belarus, Brazil's "malakaio300," and Denmark's "dillerfar19" bought into a $5 Spin & Go, the prize pool selector stopped on the ultra-rare 240,000x!
Three-way to the 6♦4♠7♠ flop, Raphael Bilger checked from the big blind to Nazar Buhaiov under the gun. Buhaiov bet 40,000, and Eduardo Kalil called on the button.
Bilger then min-raised to 80,000. Buhaiov called, but Kalil folded after some time in the tank. Bilger sized up to 175,000 on the 7♦ turn. Buhaiov called again, seeing the 5♣ river complete the board.
Bilger remained aggressive and moved all in, covering Buhaiov's stack of 380,000. Buhaiov needed little time before folding, surrendering the pot to his neighbor.
Jose Quintas raised to 40,000 from under the gun, which Jonas ten Cate called in the hijack. Matas Cimbolas then three-bet to 120,000 on the button. Quintas responded by moving all-in for 590,000, which immediately shook out Ten Cate, but Cimbolas snap-called.
Once the stacks were counted, it transpired that Cimbolas had 585,000 in his stack and was the player at risk.
Matas Cimbolas: A♥A♣
Jose Quintas: A♠Q♣
The 10♥4♠5♣K♠2♠ board brought some hope for Quintas on the turn, but his straight draw came to nothing, and with just 5,000 after the collision, he was eliminated a couple of hands later.
