The action was caught as beerguideprague, in middle position, had both Mihail Kamburov, in early position, and Anton Markachev, in the cutoff, at risk for their respective stacks of 78,000 and 110,000.
Mihail Kamburov: A♦Q♦
Anton Markachev: K♠K♣
beerguideprague: A♥K♦
The dealer produced the 10♦5♥6♥6♣4♣ runout, which saw Kamburov eliminated, while Markachev won a healthy sidepot to stay alive.
Govert Metaal was standing up with his stack in the middle from the hijack, facing off against Bernhard Haider on his right.
Govert Metaal: 7♥7♦
Bernhard Haider: 10♥10♦
Haider saw his superior pocket pair hold on the K♠3♠J♦5♣J♣ runout, sending Metaal to the rail.
The hijack raised to 10,000. Jie Xu, in the cutoff, three-bet-jammed for 57,000. Freequency, in the small blind, peeled his cards before putting in a four-bet to 110,000. The original raiser folded.
Jie Xu: A♥Q♠
Freequency: 9♥9♦
Xu was behind and stayed that way on the 2♠8♦7♠3♦10♦ runout, sending him to the rail.
Marinko Skoric opened to 16,000 in middle position, and Henrik Zeis defended his big blind to see the J♠10♠A♣ flop. Zeis checked to Skoric, who continued with another bet of 16,000.
Zeis did not take long to give up his hand, and the pot was sent to Skoric.
A preflop raising war saw Never Give Up's effective stack of 95,000, all in and at risk against Markus Giesen.
Never Give Up: K♦K♠
Markus Giesen: A♠K♥
Never Give Up was way out in front, but the J♥5♥10♥ flop gave Giesen outs to both a straight and a flush. The J♣ turn was a blank, but the Q♣ river gave Giesen Broadway to crack Never Give Up's kings, sending him to the rail.
Mellivora C. slid out a three-bet in middle position, and called his stack of 176,000 after Marko Jovanovic moved all in from the big blind.
Mellivora C. K♥K♦
Marko Jovanovic: A♥A♦
Mellivora C. frustratingly turned over his kings after seeing Jovanovic table pocket aces, but the J♥3♥K♣ flop gave Mellivora C. a set to take the lead. Mellivora C. improved to a full house on the 3♣ turn, and held on the 6♠ to score the unlikely double.

daniele sacchi: A♥K♣
Darko Vracevic: J♦6♦
sacchi was ahead until the 10♣6♣5♦ flop gave Vracevic a pair. The 4♦ turn and 8♥ river couldn't save sacchi and he was sent to the rail
