The initial raiser, Denis Vlasov, received two callers for 300,000 each, one of whom was Leon Sturm in the small blind, and another player in the big blind.
After the flop 9♣J♦4♣, both players in the blinds checked to Vlasov, who then made a bet of 375,000, with only Sturm opting to call.
On the 9♠ turn, Sturm took the lead and bet 900,000. Vlasov deliberated for some time before ultimately deciding to call.
Sturm's bet of 2,400,000 on the river 10♥ took over 30 seconds and required the use of a time bank card. Vlasov, unenthusiastic about the river card, ultimately mucked his hand.

Tom Talboom opened 400,000 under the gun, and the action folded around to Naji Tannoury who jammed for 2,300,000 from the small blind. Talboom thought about it for a few moments before making the call.
Naji Tannoury: A♥K♥ 
Tom Talboom: 3♥3♣
It was a coin flip, and Tannoury couldn't stand to watch as he turned his back from the table and walked away. He managed to come back as the A♣K♣9♦J♥5♥ river hit the board, taking his seat once again as he secured the double.

On the flop 9♣K♠9♠, Rajkovic check-called Lamkov's bet of 900,000.
Both players checked through the turn 3♠.
On the river 8♣, Rajkovic took some time to consider his next move. After 40 seconds, paying one time bank card, he decided to check. Lamkov also checked, leading to a showdown. Rajkovic revealed A♣Q♣, but Lamkov showed 6♣6♠ for two pair, claiming the pot of over 5,000,000.

Sergey Utenkov opened 400,000 in early position, and Mitchell Johnson three-bet to 1,000,000 from the blinds. Utenkov put in another raise, as he announced all-in, and Johnson called off his stack of about 4,000,000.
Mitchell Johnson: A♣K♥
Sergey Utenkov: Q♥Q♦
The 5♦4♠2♦ flop gave Johnson a few extra outs as he flopped a straight draw, but the 4♥ turn, and 9♦ river were no help as he headed for the payout desk.

The action began with Damir Gabdullin open-raising from early position to 400,000. Mario Menicanin, seated in the hijack, took his time before three-betting to 3,300,000, leaving just 200,000 behind. Sergey Utenkov, on the button, shoved all in, prompting Gabdullin to fold.
"You wanna time bank the pay jump?" Utenkov asked, as the players were on the verge of a pay jump.
"I want a double-up," Menicanin responded. With three time bank cards left, Menicanin used two of them before ultimately making the call.
Mario Menicanin: Q♠J♠
Sergey Utenkov: A♦K♠
As the board revealed 6♣9♥Q♦6♦5♦, a player remarked, "there is your double-up," and Menicanin held up a time bank card to show that he had kept an extra one in case he doubled up.
