Zhewen Hu made it 25,000 from the cutoff and Angelos Michael three-bet the small blind to 105,000. Once the big blind folded, Hu called.
They saw a flop of 7♦5♠A♦ where Michael made a continuation-bet of 80,000, which Hu quickly called to see the 3♦ turn, which went check-check.
The 6♠ completed the runout and again the action went check-check and Michael showed 8♥8♣. However, Hu had paired his ace holding A♥J♣ to take the pot.
Level: 19
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 16,000
Lachezar Petkov had opened from under the gun and Aleksandr Chernikov called from the hijack. Mehmet Muratli also came along from the big blind.
They went to a flop of 4♥10♠J♠, which checked through to the 8♠ turn. Muratli checked, Petkov fired 50,000, Chernikov called, and Muratli folded.
An 8♣ paired the board on the river and Petkov fired out 125,000, then Chernikov shoved for around 400,000. Petkov had just over 150,000 chips remaining in his stack and after using several time-extensions, he elected to fold.
Chernikov then showed Q♦9♦ for a turned straight as he raked in the pot.
Zhen Chen opened the cutoff to 26,000 and got called by Ali Al-Kubasi in the small blind and Eyal Eshkar in the big blind.
They went to a flop of 3♦3♣8♥ where it checked to Chen, who fired 23,000. Al-Kubasi then raised to 57,000, Eshkar got out of the way, and Chen called.
A 5♥ dropped on the turn and Al-Kubasi kept up the aggression with a bet of 75,000, and Chen called quickly.
When the J♦ completed the runout, both players elected to check it down with Al-Kubasi showing K♦10♠ for king-high, but Chen held the winner after he paired his five holding A♣5♣.
The action started with Simone Andrian making a min-raise from early position, which was called by Zhen Chen in middle position, Ali Al-Kubasi in the cutoff, and Angelos Michael in the small blind.
They went to a flop of 2♣3♥4♦, which checked around to the 4♥ turn where Michael led out for 65,000. Andrian folded, Chen called, and Al-Kubasi called.
On the 9♠ river, Michael took his time before he moved all-in for around 180,000. Chen thought for some time before he folded, and Al-Kubasi also released his hand.
Level: 18
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Elie Saad raised from the hijack and Alisa Sibgatova was the only called in the cutoff.
They went to a flop of J♣K♥4♥ where Saad continued for 15,000, and Sibgatova called to see the 10♠ fall on the turn. Again, Saad kept on firing with a bet of 25,000, which Sibgatova called.
On the K♠ river, both players elected to check and Saad showed 10♥7♥ for a pair of tens, which was good for the pot as Sibgatova mucked.
There were already around 60,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 9♣2♦8♣ when Razvan Belea and Danielle Noja got their chips in the middle, with the former at risk for his stack of around 150,000.
Razvan Belea: A♣A♦ 
Danielle Noja: 10♠10♦
"It felt like aces," said Noja.
Nothing changed on either the Q♠ turn or 6♥ river, and Noja sent a big portion of his stack over to Belea.
On the other table, Antoine Talvard couldn't spin up his stack after losing most of it moments earlier and hit the rail.
Atilla Saracoglu shoved for 115,000 from early position and Antoine Talvard reshoved in the next seat for 145,000.
Atilla Saracoglu: A♦10♦
Antoine Talvard: K♦K♠
Talvard was ahead with his Cowboys, but fell behind on the 3♥A♣5♣ flop as Saracoglu paired his ace. A 9♥ turn and 3♣ river didn't change anything, which meant Saracoglu doubled up and Talvard was left very short.
