Gareth Howard opened the action with a raise to 120,000 from under the gun. Once it was the turn of Alessandro La Cava in the big blind, he called.
The dealer spread a flop of 7♦6♣9♦, and fireworks followed.
La Cava checked, seeing Howard continue for 155,000. La Cava then check-raised all in for 1,400,000. Howard looked back at his cards, got his phone ready to record, and called.
Alessandro La Cava: 10♦9♣ 
Gareth Howard: 6♠6♥
The turn A♥ kept things as they were, and although the river 9♠ improved both players, crucially, Howard had a full house, seeing him scoop the massive pot, leaving La Cava eliminated.

Jorgji Kotorri raised to 215,000 from late position, only receiving action from Rosario Saddemi, who put his remaining stack of 115,000 into the middle.
Rosario Saddemi: 6♦6♣
Jorgji Kotorri: A♠Q♣
Kotorri was adamant there would be an ace on the flop, and just like that, the flop came out 2♣A♦2♦.
The turn 4♦ and river J♣ couldn't turn the tide back in favour of Saddemi, who headed toward the exit.

Toni Ravnak raised to 120,000 in middle position, which was met by a three-bet shove from Maria Koutsouki in the big blind.
Ravnak asked for a count, which was 335,000, and made the call.
Maria Koutsouki: A♣7♥
Toni Ravnak: A♠10♥
It was not the situation Koutsouki had hoped for, and when the J♥2♣8♦4♣6♣ offered no help, she said her goodbyes to the table and headed to the payout desk.

When play folded to Rosario Saddemi in the small blind, he moved all in, covering the stack of Henry Broens in the big blind. Broens slowly peeled his cards, snap-calling once he had seen them both.
Henry Broens: 6♣6♦
Rosario Saddemi: K♠4♦
There was no drama for Broens, as the board came A♥3♦J♠9♠10♥, seeing him double up.

Gabor Csaba opened the action with a raise to 80,000 from under the gun. Jesper Joldher called from the cutoff before Kristian Holmgren moved all in on the button for 570,000.
After confirming the bet amount, Csaba moved all in too, for 1,255,000, and Joldher folded.
Kristian Holmgren: 8♠8♥
Gabor Csaba: 7♦7♣
Despite turning a flush draw on the 4♣Q♦3♦K♦ board, Csaba was unable to improve when the river K♠ completed the board.
