Ghassan Bitar made it 3,000 to go from early position, which Elena Iakovleva three-bet to 10,000 in the hijack.
It folded to Anatoly Zlotnikov in the big blind, who let his shot clock run to the final few seconds before four-betting to 30,000. Bitar quickly got out of the way, and Iakovleva eventually followed suit, shipping the pot to Zlotnikov.

With four players in the pot, Yuang Chen fired out a bet of 4,000 from early position on the flop of Q♣J♦8♣. He found one caller from the button, but two folds from Milosz Mocydlarz and Amine Daher in the blinds.
Chen continued with a bet of 25,000 upon seeing the 4♦ turn. His opponent called for the A♥ to roll off on the river. Chen put out a meaty bet of 100,000, which forced the button player to fold.

Arriving at the table, the flop showed 2♦10♦8♥ and Mazen Halabi had gotten the rest of his short-stack into the middle. Ilya Ubilava called to put him at risk, and the cards were flipped over.
Mazen Halabi: 7♦4♦
Ilya Ubilava: Q♦Q♣
Halabi was behind Ubilava's pocket queens, but he did have a flush draw. However, the rest of the board ran out 3♠6♥ and Halabai was one of the early eliminations of the day.

Alessio Isaia opened from early position with only Bugra Ozyurt calling from the button.
When the dealer spread out a flop of K♠K♣J♣, Isaia slid out a continuation-bet of 5,000. Ozyurt pondered briefly before making the call.
The dealer burned a card to reveal the 4♥ turn. Isaia fired a second barrel of 19,000, which was enough to force Ozyurt to fold.

When it folded to Cassandra Yong in the cutoff, she came in with a min-raise to 4,000. Only Hassanin Hashim made the call from the big blind.
Both players were happy to check through the 2♣6♥9♠ flop to see the 10♣ hit the turn. Hashim led out for 6,000, and Yong quickly called.
Hashim checked the A♥ river, allowing Yong to throw out a bet of 15,000. This was enough to force Hashim to fold, and she dragged in the pot.

Dumitru Pora raised to 5,000 in middle position, being called by the players in the cutoff and on the button. Aliaksandr Hirs then three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind, which Pora called. The cutoff also called while the button mucked his hand.
The K♣10♣10♠ flop checked through to the Q♥ turn, where Hirs fired a bet of 55,000. Pora flicked in a call, prompting the cutoff to get out of the way. Hirs then took some time before moving all in for 101,000 on the J♦ river.
Pora snap-called and tabled 10♥10♦ for quad tens. Hirs' A♠8♥ were added to the muck, and he swiftly departed from the table.
