Short-stack Jeremy Bametz moved all-in for 11,000 from under the gun, and was looked up by Ronald Van der Berg in the big blind.
Jeremy Bametz: K♥4♣
Ronald Van der Berg: J♥J♣
Van der Berg had woken up with a big hand in the big bind and insufficient help was provided to Bametz by the Q♠4♠3♣Q♦Q♣ runout.
Fidan Zahiti opened to 6,000 from the button, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 68,000 by Adrians Imsa in the big blind.
After about 90 seconds of thought, Zahiti turned round to look at the clock, shrugged his shoulders, and made the call with the slightly covering stack.
Adrians Imsa: A♣2♦
Fidan Zahiti: 8♦8♣
Imsa needed some help, and was almost drawing dead after the K♦Q♣8♠ flop gave Zahiti bottom set.
The J♣ gave Imsa some hope with outs to the straight, but those were dashed by the Q♥ river, which filled Zahiti up to a full house.
Imsa wished the table well as he departed.
Around 20,000 was in the middle on a flop of 9♥7♠6♥, in a hand between Bartosch Maciejek and Vincent Keen.
Maciejek checked and Keen fired out a bet of 12,000. Maciejek responded with a check-jam with the covering stack, and Keen got the rest of his 46,500 total stack into the middle.
Vincent Keen: 6♣6♠
Bartosch Maciejek: A♣A♠
Keen had flopped a set to overcome Maciejek's rockets, and the 9♦Q♥ runout confirmed his double-up, and Keen gave the table a smack in celebration.
Level: 10
Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500
A significant pot of 90,000 had developed by the river on a completed board of Q♦9♠2♣2♠8♥, in a hand between Raffael Wilbertz in middle position and Alejandro Garcia in the cutoff.
Wilbertz checked and Garcia jammed for around 130,000, sending Wilbertz deep into the tank.
Wilbertz, who had around 44,000 behind, looked pained and spent at least two minutes pondering the spot. "I'm trying to find a fold here, but I don't think that I can. I call, you have kings?"
Garcia tabled K♣Q♠ for top pair queens, but Wilbertz had the best of it with A♥Q♣, his ace-kicker playing.
Garcia started chuckling, and Wilbertz asked "Too long? It wasn't a slow roll, you took a strong line. Sorry, no disrespect", and Garcia took the apology in the spirit it was intended.
Matteo Ferrara was raking in a double-up, after his 30,000 stack went into the middle with K♣J♥ and bested Lauren Roberts' A♠4♠ on the J♠9♠7♥Q♥10♣ runout, the money going in on the flop.
