Matthew Macioce raised to 3,000 and received three callers including Benjamin Alacam in the big blind.
As they headed to the 8♠5♣2♦ flop, Alacam shrugged and then announced a pot-sized bet worth 12,800. Macioce quickly folded, Guenter Halak checked his cards twice and came to the same conclusion.

Quan Zhou wasted little time before getting involved in the action after he had entered during the break. He won the €10,000 Diamond High Roller yesterday but found no fortune in today's High Roller contest.
In a heads-up pot with Jakub Koleckar, Zhou faced a bet of 5,000 on the A♠Q♦3♣ flop and quickly folded.

Jakub Koleckar had lost a bigger portion of his stack and then left the table with a grin on his face with the cards already in the muck. His chips were pushed to Mikkel Plum, who dealt the final blow with the J♣10♣9♣7♠.
That was good enough for two pair on the J♦10♥3♥6♣2♦ runout.

Tim Grau checked the A♠A♣10♣J♥ turn before calling a bet worth 8,000 by Harry Casgarande. The 10♠ river was checked behind by Casagrande and Grau exposed his A♦K♥10♥4♦ for aces full of tens to win the pot.
"I better be careful not to become your medium," Casagrande shrugged and Grau replied "well, sometimes you run good ... ."

With the turn showing J♥9♣4♣J♠, Emily Perrinjaquet checked out of the big blind. Oswin Ziegelbecker jammed for the last 24,700 and Perrinjaquet reluctantly called.
Ziegelbecker tabled his A♦Q♣J♦4♥ for jacks full of fours and Perrinjaquet sighed "I can't win" because the Austrian had her case ace, as she revealed the A♠A♥A♠K♦. That made the Q♥ river a formality and Ziegelbecker doubled back into contention.

Mykola Lakatosh gasped in disbelief when his entire stack vanished and one hand only could beat his Q♣Q♠10♥6♠ on the Q♦7♣7♦6♥J♣ runout. Unfortunately for him, Glib Karpov indeed held the A♥7♦7♠5♣ for quads and scored the knockout in style.
