Selahaddin Bedir moved all in for around 250,000 from the button and Khusanbek Abdullaev called in the big blind.
Selahaddin Bedir: A♣9♣ 
Khusanbek Abdullaev: A♦Q♠
Bedir was dominated heading to the flop, which came Q♥6♦3♣ to give Abdullaev a bigger lead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 5♥7♦ and Bedir was sent to the rail a few spots short of the money.
Georgios Skarparis and Iurii Saiapin were head-up to the 8♦9♦6♥ flop, where both players checked.
Skarparis led out for 55,000 on the 7♥ turn, with Saiapin making the call on the button. Another pair of checks followed the Q♠ river.
Skarparis tabled A♠J♥, while Saiapin showed A♣K♥ to claim the pot.
Bodo Sbrzesny moved all in for 160,000 from the hijack and Michele Pucci called in middle position.
Bodo Sbrzesny: A♦Q♥
Michele Pucci: 3♣3♠
Sbrzesny was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 9♥5♦A♣, giving him the lead with a pair of aces. The rest of the board ran out K♥6♠ and Sbrzesny doubled up.
"Only play flips against this guy. Never 80-20," a tablemate advised Sbrzesny after the hand.
Candido Cappiello opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Elie Farah was the only called on the button.
Cappiello fired 25,000 on the 3♣K♠10♦ flop and Farah called to the 6♠ turn.
Both players checked through to the J♠ river, where Cappiello slid out a bet of 44,000. Farah took a moment before tossing in a single calling chip.
Cappiello showed A♦K♣ for top pair, good enough to claim the pot as Farah mucked.
Around 250,000 was in the middle as Daniel Gavish and Khusanbek Abdullaev went to the turn on a board of 6♥5♠J♠3♣. Gavish then bet 165,000 from the cutoff and Abdullaev called in early position.
The river was the 4♣ and Abdullaev moved all in for 295,000. Gavish tanked for more than a minute before calling with 5♥3♥ for two pair, but Abdullaev had 8♥7♥ for a rivered straight to win the pot and double up.
Level: 21
Blinds: 10,000/15,000
Ante: 15,000
Hamza Ben Fkih Ali opened to 45,000 in early position, with Nicolas Chouity calling on his left and Mircea Flutur coming along in the cutoff.
Ali checked the 5♣9♥J♥ flop before Chouity slid out a bet of 43,000. Flutur called while Ali got out of the way.
Both players then checked the Q♥ turn, with Chouity sizing down to 15,000 on the 7♠ river. After taking some time, Flutur slid a stack of chips forward and Chouity did not even wait for a count of the raise to send his cards into the muck.
Caner Gunes and Konstantin Voronin engaged in a pre-flop raising war that saw Voronin put in 460,000 in the small blind. Gunes then moved all in from the cutoff.
Voronin asked for a count as he went deep into the tank. Tablemate Omar Lakhdari eventually called the clock, but the rest of the table protested that the dealer had spent most of the time counting Gunes' massive stack.
Voronin was given more time as he considered the decision for his last 630,000. He ended up folding as Gunes took the pot, climbing up near 2,000,000.
"Good fold," Gunes told him.
"Good bluff," Voronin replied.
Heads-up on a flop of A♦K♣4♦, Matteo Zanardi bet 24,000 from middle position and Sina Alamzad called in the small blind.
The turn was the Q♣ and Zanardi bet another 130,000. Alamzad again called and checked over to Zanardi on the 6♥ river. Zanardi checked back this time and Alamzad turned over A♠Q♦ for two pair.
Despite dropping that pot, Zanardi has increased his stack past 1,700,000 and is currently contending for the chip lead.
