Around 70,000 was already in the pot as three players went to the turn on a board of K♠7♠4♥6♥. Hussein Ramlawi then bet 51,000 from the small blind and Alexander Savchenko moved all in for 86,000 in the hijack.

Miroslav Rizov called on the button, as did Ramlawi. The river was the 5♦ and both Ramlawi and Rizov checked.

Savchenko showed K♥J♣ for top pair, while Ramlawi had A♦A♣. Rizov, though, turned over 7♥5♥ for a rivered two pair as he took the pot, sending Savchenko to the rail.

"What are you doing?" Ramlawi said as he surrendered the massive pot.

"Nice hand. Very well played," he eventually told Rizov.

Seref Anar bet 2,000 from middle position on a flop of 3♥7♦10♠ before Fabio Peluso raised to 8,000 in the hijack. Anar called and they saw the 2♣ fall on the turn.

Peluso then bet another 8,000 and Anar moved all in for 35,000. Peluso quickly called with 3♣3♠ for a set, while Anar had top two pair with 10♣7♠. The 5♦ river failed to improve Anar and Peluso took the pot to send him to the rail.

Selahaddin Bedir busted shortly after being left with crumbs by Kirill Burtin but has since reentered.

Albert Sapiano three-bet to 6,000 in the cutoff and Seref Anar called on the button before Aleksandr Chernikov made it 27,000 in early position. Both Sapiano and Anar called.

The flop came A♦6♥6♦ and Chernikov bet 25,000. Only Sapiano called to see the K♦ turn, where Chernikov moved all in for 90,000. Sapiano snap-called.

Sapiano showed 7♦3♦ for a flush, while Chernikov was at risk holding K♠J♣ for two pair. The K♥ fell on the river to give Chernikov a full house as he earned a massive double up.

Kirill Burtin immediately reentered after busting to Vedat Yilmaz and quickly became tangled in another big pot on his second bullet, this time against Selahaddin Bedir.

Bedir bet 13,000 from under the gun on a flop of 10♥4♦2♠ and Burtin called in the cutoff. Bedir checked the K♣ turn, then called when Burtin bet 32,000.

The river was the A♦ and Bedir moved all in. Burtin called for 42,500 and showed A♥Q♣ for a pair of aces. Bedir mucked 7♥7♠ as he surrendered the pot, leaving himself with less than 1,000.

With around 40,000 in the pot on a board of 9♠2♣8♦3♣, Vedat Yilmaz bet 36,000 from the cutoff and Kirill Burtin took more than a minute before calling in middle position.

The 3♥ fell on the river and Yilmaz moved all in. Burtin again tanked for a minute but eventually called for his last 40,000.

Burtin showed 9♣7♣, but Yilmaz had 10♣10♦ to win the pot and send Burtin to the rail.
