Four-way to the 3♥9♦5♥ flop, it checked to RME in the cutoff. He bet 1,500, which Marian Anton raised to 4,000. Francesco Toma called in the big blind before Nejat Gueler folded in early position.
RME also came along, and the turn fell the K♠. Toma led out for 11,200, folding out RME but seeing Anton toss in more calling chips. Toma then sized down to 6,500 on the A♥ river, prompting Anton to raise to 17,600.
Toma quickly shoved all in, and Anton instantly mucked. Anton left himself 13 big blinds behind, which he also lost not much later.
The pot had already grown to 19,200, with three players looking at a flop of 4♥A♠2♣.
Duc Tuan Tran, who was under the gun, checked to Vincenzo Casiddu, in early position, who also checked. Sami El Saidi, on the button, closed the action by checking and seeing a turn.
The J♥ fell, and Tran took the lead for 4,800. Only El Saidi called.
The A♣ river paired the board, and Tran bet again, this time for 9,500. El Saidi thought for some time before pitching his cards into the muck.
ZENGA opened to 1,000 in middle position, and Ljubodrag Milojevic called in the next seat over. Cristinel Lita then three-bet to 5,500 in the hijack, and only ZENGA called.
The Q♣3♠Q♠ flop saw Lita continue for 5,000. ZENGA called to the K♠ turn, where Lita shoved all in for 27,000. ZENGA gave it some thought, but ultimately folded.
Lita dragged the pot, and showed J♠J♥ while doing so.
The action was caught after a multi-way raising war saw three players all in preflop. Pavlos Tzomakas, in early position, had his effective stack of 16,300 in the middle, as did Jan, in the hijack, with 32,300. Pawel Kochana, in the big blind, had them both at risk.
Pavlos Tzomakas: 7♣5♣ 
Jan: A♥Q♦
Pawel Kochana: 10♥10♠
Kochana was in pole position to eliminate two players and stayed ahead on the 8♣J♥3♣ flop. However, the Q♣ turn saw him fall behind for both the main and side pots. The 6♣ river saw Tzomakas triple up with a flush, while Jan stayed alive with his pair of queens.
On the 3♠9♦2♣ flop in a 11,500 pot, Nephilim check-called AceofSpadez's bet of 3,700 from middle position. Nephilim checked again on the A♣ turn, and AceofSpadez, who sat in the hijack, bet 6,000.
Nephilim then raised to 13,500, but AceofSpadez quickly shoved all in. Nephilim instantly folding, leaving himself just over half a starting stack.
