Fadi Nakhoul opened to 12,000 from under the gun and found a call from the cutoff. Action then folded around to Alisa Sibgatova in the big blind.
Sibgatova took some time before announcing all in, sliding her stack of 112,000 chips forward. Nakhoul mucked his hand, as did the cutoff and Sibgatova took down the pot.
Cenk Ogun answered a middle position open with a three-bet to 25,000 from the hijack. Koray Korkmaz moved all in from the small blind for 142,000 and Ogun was the only caller.
Koray Korkmaz: J♠J♣
Cenk Ogun: K♣Q♥
Korkmaz was flipping for his tournament life and stayed ahead through the A♥5♥9♠ flop. The 7♥ turn brought Ogun a flush draw, which was promptly completed on the 2♥ river to eliminate Korkmaz.
Antonino Venneri was all in on the button and at risk against Antoine Hasbani in the small blind.
Antonino Venneri: A♥J♦
Antoine Hasbani: A♠9♠
Hasbani found a pair on the Q♠7♥9♥ flop, with the A♦ turn and 5♥ river leaving him in front to send Venneri to the rail.

Eros Nastasi: A♦Q♥
Nastasi was in great shape, improving on the 3♣Q♠4♦K♠A♥ runout to send Dalkilic to the rail.
