In a limped pot between the blinds, Nerses Sargsian led out for 125,000 on the 9♥5♦A♥ flop and Konstantin Voronin called in the big blind.
The turn was the 6♥ and Sargsian bet another 475,000. Voronin again called and the 5♠ fell on the river, where Sargsian moved all in for 1,825,000.
Voronin tanked for a minute before calling as Sargsian showed J♥7♥ for a flush. Voronin flashed the A♠ as he mucked, surrendering the double up to Sargsian.
Adrien Buetas opened to 250,000 from early position and action folded around to Fouad Toujani, who defended his big blind.
Toujani checked the 7♥5♥4♣ flop, with Buetas checking behind. Toujani checked again after seeing the A♠ turn, where Buetas fired 375,000.
That was enough to produce a fold from Toujani, seeing Buetas rake in the pot.
Mircea Flutur moved all in for 850,000 in middle position, Farshad Rahili reshoved in the small blind, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Mircea Flutur: 7♣7♠ 
Farshad Rahili: A♦Q♥
The flop came J♦10♠7♥ and Flutur hit a set, while Rahili picked up a straight draw. The 4♠ turn was safe for Flutur, while the river was the 6♦ and Flutur doubled up.
Kirill Burtin led out for 125,000 in the big blind on a board of K♥5♦3♦Q♠ and Dashinka raised to 375,000 in the cutoff. Burtin called.
The river was the 9♥ and Dashinka asked Burtin how much he had behind before moving all in. Burtin snap-called for 1,300,000.
Dashinka turned over Q♣Q♦ for a set, but Burtin showed J♦10♣ for a rivered straight as Dashinka slammed the table in frustration before handing over the pot.
Konstantin Voronin was all in and at risk from under the gun, facing Anthony Khouzami on his immediate left.
Konstantin Voronin: 10♣10♥
Anthony Khouzami: A♥K♠
Voronin's pocket pair remained ahead through the 8♦6♦3♥7♥Q♥ runout, scoring a big double while leaving Khouzami short.
Basel Khabbazeh moved all in for 500,000 in the hijack and Ignacio Garrido called in the big blind.
Basel Khabbazeh: 9♣6♣
Ignacio Garrido: Q♥4♦
Garrido hit a pair of queens on the Q♠6♦5♥ flop, but Khabbazeh made trips on the 6♥ turn. The river, though, was the Q♣ and Garrido improved to trip queens to win the pot and send Khabbazeh to the rail.
Dashinka opened to 225,000 in middle position before Vadzim Haiduk three-bet to 500,000 from the cutoff.
The call was made and the dealer fanned out the K♦9♣10♥ flop, where Dashinka checked. Haiduk continued for 250,000, earning a small pot as Dashinka sent his hand into the muck.
