Vasyl Palandiuk peeked at K♥Q♣ on the button and raised to 3,200,000. Daryl McAleenan then shipped in his stack of 25,800,000 from the small blind with K♣J♣.
Palandiuk asked for a count but decided against putting a large portion of his stack at risk and mucked his cards to grant the invested chips to his opponent.
It folded to Narcis Nedelcu in the small blind, who put in a big raise to 5,800,000 with 4♥3♦. Vasyl Palandiuk took some time in the big blind before calling K♥5♥.
The flop fell 2♦10♦5♣, and Nedelcu promplty shoved in his stack. Palandiuk was put at risk for his stack of 36,300,000, worth about three times the pot.
Palandiuk went deep into the tank, but eventually laid down his middle pair as Nedelcu won the pot with four-high.
Narcis Nedelcu tossed in the minimum raise to 3,200,000 under the gun with Q♥10♠. Danilo Donnini then three-bet 6♥6♣ from the small blind to 9,800,000.
Nedelcu did not give it much thought and swiftly surrendered his hand to forfeit the pot.
Danilo Donnini raised to 3,200,000 in the cutoff. Vasyl Palandiuk found Q♠Q♣ in the big blind and thought for a few moments before moving all in for 30,900,000. Donnini's 10♣9♣ quickly disappeared into the muck.
On the next deal, Narcis Nedelcu made it 4,000,000 to go on the button. Palandiuk looked down at A♥K♣, this time in the small blind, and once again moved all in.
Nedelcu laid down his hand, and Palandiuk chipped up some more.
Narcis Nedelcu made it 3,500,000 to go on the button. Daryl McAleenan defended his big blind, after which both players knuckled the table on the 6♦8♥3♦ flop.
McAleenan tossed in a bet of 2,500,000 on the subsequent 8♠ turn, and Nedelcu called to the Q♣ river. McAleenan fired a second barrel, worth 3,500,000, and Nedelcu again called before his shot clock ran out.
McAleenan tabeled trip eights with 8♣7♠, and Nedelcu tapped the table before he added his A♣7♣ to the muck.
Danilo Donnini bumped it up to 3,200,000 in the cutoff, and Narcis Nedelcu called in the small blind. Donnini bet 4,100,000 on the following 8♠4♥J♠ flop, which Nedelcu check-called.
The remainder of the 7♥J♥ board was checked down. Donnini showed K♣Q♥ for king-high, but Nedelcu had the better high-card hand with A♣10♠ to take another pot off Donnini.
Danilo Donnini opened to 3,200,000 under the gun. Narcis Nedelcu flat-called on the button and called Donnini's continuation-bet of 3,400,000 on the 7♠6♦7♦ flop.
Donnini sized up to 10,600,000 on the Q♠ turn. Nedelcu stuck in more calling chips, and the 3♦ turn completed the board. Donnini used one of his time banks before he checked and saw Nedelcu quickly check back.
Donnini could only table ace-high with A♦J♣, leaving Nedelcu to take the pot with A♥Q♦ for queens and sevens.
Danilo Donnini opened his button to 3,200,000. Oliver Gayko then pushed in his stack of 14,500,000 from the small blind, and Donnini made a quick call to put his neighbor at risk.
Oliver Gayko: A♥Q♠
Danilo Donnini: K♥J♣
Gayko flopped top pair on 4♥Q♣2♠, although the 10♦ turn gave Donnini some extra outs. The river fell the innocent J♥, however, and Gayko secured his double-up against the chipleader.
