Jon Vallinas Santos opened to 80,000 from the button, then Michel Molenaar in the small blind three-bet to 140,000. The big blind folded, and after some time, Vallinas Santos called.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♠A♣9♥, and Molenaar bet 60,000. This bet was very small, but it was enough to make Vallinas Santo fold.
Thanks to this pot, Molennar reached 3,000,000 chips.
On a board of 8♣8♥8♠Q♣5♦ with more than 300,000 in the pot, Dominik Nitsche on the button bet 1,550,000, almost all his stack. From the big blind, David Miscikowski jammed with a bigger stack and Nitsche snap-folded.
With a single blue chip worth 5,000 left, Nitsche moved all-in on the very next hand. Nikitin in the small blind limped, so Miscikowski only had to check his option to discover a flop of 6♦3♠Q♣.
Nikitin bet 30,000 and was called, so he fired a second barrel of 150,000 on the 3♦ turn. This time, Miscikowski folded.
Dominik Nitsche: J♣9♣
Anatoly Nikitin: Q♦7♦
"I have nothing" Nitsche said while standing up, and he was eliminated after the 3♥ river.

Boris Kolev opened to 50,000 from middle position and was called by Roman Emelyanov in the hijack. Mario Navarro Arrocha three-bet to 185,000, and he was only called by Emelyanov.
Navarro Arrocha continued for 40,000 on the 7♥4♥4♠ flop and was called, then he checked the 7♠ turn. Emelyanov bet 55,000, and Navarro Arrocha check-raised all-in for 360,000. Roman Emelyanov counted his stack and eventually called.
Mario Navarro Arrocha: K♠K♦
Roman Emelyanov: A♠Q♠
Navarro Arrocha was in the lead with kings, but Emelyanov still had a flush draw. The 10♥ river didn't change anything, so Navarro Arrocha doubled up.
