The hijack opened to 4,500 and only Volkan Yucel made the call on the button.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♥J♣10♦, and the hijack continued for 4,000. Yucel called.
When the 2♥ hit the turn, the hijack slowed down with a check, and Yucel fired 12,000 into the middle. The hijack tossed in a call.
The 8♣ landed on the river, and once checked to, Yucel fired the same bet of 12,000. This time that was enough to drag the pot as his opponent pitched his cards into the muck.

Denis Udalsov raised 5,000 in early position, and Tamazi Skhirtladze three-bet 16,500 next to act. The action folded back around to Udalsov who put in another raise to 65,000. Skhirtladze thought about it for a few moments before shoving the rest of his stack of about 180,000 across the line and Udalsov snap-called.
Tamazi Skhirtladze: K♣K♦
Denis Udalsov: A♣A♥
It was the ultimate preflop cooler and the A♦7♦2♠ flop left Skhirtladze drawing nearly dead. The 6♥ turn sealed his fate as he walked away from the table, and the 9♣ river was just a formality.

Four players put 4,500 each in the middle before the dealer fanned the Q♠4♠2♦ flop, and the small blind checked to the big blind who fired a bet of 6,000. Florian Roski was in the hijack and put in a raise to 15,000, and Semen Kravets was next to act on the button, and moved all-in for 115,000, forcing both the blinds to quickly folded while Roski made the call.
Semen Kravets: Q♥10♣
Florian Roski: A♣A♠
Kravets saw he was in rough shape as he stood up from the table. As the 8♠ hit the turn, he began to put his sweater on but the 10♦ river improved him to two pair as he let out, "Oh!" In excitement and sat back down to pull in the double.

With about 60,000 in the middle the flop read A♠4♣3♠, and Dmitry Gromov fired a bet of 19,000. His only opponent in the hand made the call.
When the 5♦ fell on the turn, Gromov continued with aggression, dropping 40,000 into the center, and he was called once again.
The 5♥ paired the board on the river, and Gromov jammed for his last 92,000. His opponent went into the tank, using a time bank before making the call.
Gromov tabled 6♣5♣, for trip fives and his opponent mucked his hand.

Ante: 1,500
Antoine Hasbani opened 3,000 in the cutoff, and the small blind called before Denis Udalsov three-bet 18,000 from the big blind. Only Hasbani stuck around with a call.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♥3♣2♣, and Udalsov continued for 19,000. Hasbani made the call.
The 2♥ paired the board on the turn, and Udalsov jammed all-in for 165,000. Hasbani wasted little time making the call, and both hands were tabled.
Denis Udalsov: Q♣Q♠
Antoine Hasbani: 8♥8♣
Udalsov was way ahead with his pocket queens and the K♠ river changed nothing as he scored the double. Hasbani had 2,000 remaining, and was seen walking away from the table shortly after.
