Walter Treccarichi opened to 20,000 from the cutoff before Stanislaw Grodek three-bet to 60,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Treccarichi four-bet shoved for Grodek's remaining 340,000. Grodek snap-called.
Stanislaw Grodek: K♠K♣
Walter Treccarichi: Q♠J♠
Treccarichi needed a lot of help if he was to crack the pocket kings of Grodek. However, the runout of 8♦5♠2♦Q♣K♦ gave Grodek the winner with a set of kings and he doubled up.
Treccarichi was left with just 50,000 and busted a few hands later.
Yaniv Shushan had his stack of around 200,000 in the middle preflop and was put at risk by Evgeniy Golenko.
Yaniv Shushan: A♥K♥
Evgeniy Golenko: AxQx
Shushan was ahead with his Big Slick and stayed there throughout the hand's entirety as the J♥2♦6♣5♠4♠ runout meant he doubled up.
Paul Newey raised to 20,000 from the hijack and Adrian State called from the button.
Newey fired a continuation-bet of 128,000 after the dealer fanned out a flop of K♠9♦3♦. State carved out the call.
Newey and State checked the 4♥ turn to see the A♦ hit the river. Newey checked and then snap-folded when State put out a bet.

Traian Stanciu raised to 20,000 from under the gun with only Haghgou Seyedahmad calling from middle position.
The two players checked the 8♣Q♦3♣ flop to see the 9♠ land on the turn. Stanciu put out a delayed continuation-bet of 35,000, which Seyedahmad called.
Stanciu checked the K♥ river and Seyedahmad quickly bet 30,000. Stanciu reluctantly called and was shown 3♠3♦ by Seyedahmad for a flopped set of treys.
Evgeniy Golenko opened the button to 20,000 and Dumitru Pora shoved from the small blind for around 200,000. When it got back to Golenko, he thought for a moment before he flicked in the call.
Dumitru Pora: A♥Q♥
Evgeniy Golenko: 9♥9♦
It was a classic coinflip and Golenko kept his lead after the 8♠10♥6♦ flop, which also improved him to a gutshot straight draw. A 7♣ on the turn completed his draw, which left Pora drawing to a chop. The J♦ river wasn't the nine he needed, and Pora was eliminated just after dinner.
