Kully Sidhu raised to 2,500 in middle position, and Junho Hwang called in the hijack. Stanslav Anufriiev then three-bet to 9,000 in the cutoff, and the action returned to Sidhu, who called. Hwang then assembled his whole stack and slid it into the middle, an all-in of roughly 25,000.
Both players folded, but Anufriiev was forced to flip over his A♠10♥, as he had accidentally exposed them to his neighbors as he folded.
Bosco Li was all in for 51,000 preflop, at risk against Nikolaos Mouroutis.
Bosco Li: A♥K♠ 
Nikolaos Mouroutis: Q♠Q♣
Li could not find a pair on the 7♠3♣2♠10♥9♦ runout, and he consequently took his exit.
The action was joined as Yoshiaki Kashino had worked his stack of 21,500 into the middle preflop, and was at risk versus Liangce Ni.
Yoshiaki Kashino: A♣J♣
Liangce Ni: K♣Q♠
Neither player improved on the 6♠7♠2♥ flop, but Kashino made top pair on the J♠ turn.
The dealer completed the board with the 6♦ river, and Kashino pulled in a vital double-up.
Romain Lewis raised under the gun and called button Paraskevas Tsokaridis' three-bet to 7,700.
Both players then checked the 7♦10♠9♣ flop, and Lewis checked again on the 3♥ turn. Tsokaridis fired a bet of 5,500, which Lewis called after some thought.
Lewis then pondered for a while on the 6♠ river, eventually opting to check a third time. Tsokaridis settled on a bet of 17,000, and Lewis once again entered the tank.
The clock was eventually called on Lewis, and he slid in a call during his 30-second countdown.
Tsokaridis revealed J♥8♥ for a flopped straight, and Lewis returned his cards to the muck in defeat.
Amerigo Santoro moved all in from the button for 21,700, and Jose Quintas called in the big blind.
Amerigo Santoro: 6♠6♥
Jose Quintas: A♦Q♣
The 6♦2♠7♦ flop improved Santoro to a set, with the 8♣ turn and 8♦ river giving him a full house and a double-up.
Daniel Martins opened to 2,500 on the button before facing an all-in of 21,100 from Yuhan Wang in the small blind. The big blind folded, and Martins called.
Yuhan Wang: A♦4♣
Daniel Martins: 9♠9♣
The 3♣8♥2♠ flop offered Wang some extra outs, which he gratefully accepted when the 5♥ turn improved him to a straight.
The 3♦ completed the board, and Wang scooped in a double-up.
Level: 9
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
