Ludovic Uzan opened to 120,000 from the button, before Matteo Ferrara three-bet jammed as the table chip leader. Boban Stevanovic was in the big blind and he got his 590,000 stack into the middle, with Uzan folding.
Boban Stevanovic: A♠8♠
Matteo Ferrara: A♦5♦
"Apologies in advance" said Ferrara, as the players waited for the runout. Matthias Kribben was also seen collecting his payout just before the break.
Apologies were indeed necessary, as Ferrara rivered a flush on the K♥J♦3♦6♥K♦ runout.

Justin Scicluna opened to 125,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to Angelo Vietti on the button. Action folded back to Scicluna, and after what seemed like an age, he called.
The flop came J♣5♠2♠, and Scicluna checked after around 45 seconds. Vietti quickly fired out a bet of 405,000, and Scicluna didn't take that long before dumping his hand.

Niccolo Cadoni was getting up out of his chair, and Angelo Vietti was sweeping in what looked to be closed to a 3,100,000 pot, after Vietti check-called a jam from Cadoni on the river.
The board read A♣3♣2♥6♠3♦, and Cadoni, who had position on Vietti, held 9♦8♦ for air, while Vietti had A♠Q♠ for a pair of aces.

A pot of around 500,000 was in the middle, on a board of J♣10♥8♥J♦, in a hand between Martijn Rendering and Matteo Intiso.
Rendering checked and Intiso jammed for 350,000. He looked absolutely dismayed when Rendering snapped.
Matteo Intiso: 10♦4♦
Martijn Rendering: Q♥Q♠
Intiso needed to bink a ten on the river to survive and it was a brick 8♠.
