Naji Tannoury opened 250,000 under the gun, and only Kalidou Sow came along from the big blind.
When the A♠J♣9♥ flop hit the felt, Sow check-called a continuation bet of 245,000 from Tannoury.
The 4♣ hit the turn, and Sow checked. Tannoury instantly checked as well, and the Q♣ rolled off on the river.
Sow checked for a final time, and Tannoury blasted 510,000 across the line, which earned the pot as Sow's cards went into the muck.
Oliver Weis raised in the hijack, and called a three-bet from Kirill Shcherbakov in the big blind.
When the A♣8♠4♥ flop hit the felt, Shcherbakov continued for 450,000, and Weis raised to 1,000,000. Shcherbakov called.
The 6♣ hit the turn, and Shcherbakov checked to Weis who fired another 975,000. Shcherbakov stuck around once again with a call.
When the 10♠ completed the board, both players tapped the table.
Shcherbakov tabled A♠K♠ for top pair, top-kicker, and Weis mucked his hand.

Players are now on a 60-minute dinner break. Action is expected to resume around 7:55 p.m. local time.
Maksim Shornikau raised 200,000 in the hijack, and both Kirill Shcherbakov, and Rehman Kassam called in the blinds.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♦3♥2♦, and Shcherbakov led out for 175,000. Kassam quickly folded, but Shornikau made the call.
The 8♥ fell on the turn, and Shcherbakov fired 700,000 across the line. Shornikau moved all-in for 1,950,000, and Shcherbakov dropped a chip to make the call.
Maksim Shornikau: 8♠8♣ 
Kirill Shcherbakov: Q♥9♥
Shornikau turned a set of eights, while Shcherbakov turned a gutshot straight draw, and a flush draw. The A♥ river completed the flush for Shcherbakov, and Shornikau left the table after taking a picture of the nasty run out.
Dmitry Gromov initiated the action from the hijack with an open raise to 200,000. Leon Sturm, positioned in the big blind, opted to call.
On the flop K♦J♥2♣, Sturm check-raised Gromov's bet of 160,000 to 525,000. Gromov elected to call.
A similar yet distinct scenario unfolded on the turn K♥. Sturm checked, and Gromov bet 500,000. Sturm responded by raising to 1,150,000 after using one of his time bank cards. Gromov also deliberated before ultimately folding, which also cost him a time bank card.
