There were around 20,000 chips already in the middle on a board of K♦7♦4♥J♣ when Henrik Brockmann checked from under the gun and Irina Zheleznyak fired out 10,500 in the hijack. Brockmann called.
When the 10♦ landed on the river, Zheleznyak shoved, and Brockmann instantly folded Q♦Q♠ face up. Zheleznyak didn't show, but scooped in the pot, which left her stack at around 85,000. Brockmann, however, only has around 30,000 to play with.

Alisa Sibgatova had raised from under the gun and got a call from Maksim Ban in middle position.
They saw a flop of 2♥2♠7♠ where Sibgatova continued for 4,500, and Ban called.
The 10♥ turn was checked through to the 7♥ river where Sibgatova thought for some time before she checked, then Ban pounced at the chance to bet and put out 12,500. Sibgatova quickly folded.

With around 10,000 chips in the pot on a 8♦Q♣J♦6♦ board, Danielle Noja fired out 4,500 from the big blind and Atilla Saracoglu raised to 12,500. After thinking it over, Noja called.
A 10♦ put a fourth diamond on board, which was quickly checked by both players. Noja showed K♥Q♦ for a flush, and Saracoglu shook his head before he mucked.
"I almost folded," said Noja as he raked in the pot.

With just over 20,000 chips in the middle on a flop of J♠10♣9♠, both Arian Kashani and Azamat Tulepbergenov checked from the blinds to see the 6♥ drop on the turn. Kashani checked, Tulepbergenov bet 7,700, and Kashani called.
A 3♠ landed on the river and both players knuckled the table, then Kashani announced that he had a nine. Tulepbergenov gave the nod of approval and mucked when he saw the 9♦7♦ of Kashani.
Despite that small setback, Tulepbergenov is still cruising with well over 300,000 in his stack.
