Edward Quinn recalled a hand where he eliminated Soraya Estrada not so long ago.
Estrada opened to 25,000 from the hijack and Quinn three-bet the button to 70,000. Estrada then shoved for around 220,000, and Quinn called.
Soraya Estrada: 9♥9♦ 
Edward Quinn: Q♦Q♥
The board ran out 10x5x5xKxAx, which kept the queens of Quinn in the lead, and Estrada made her way to the exit just a few spots from the money.
Bogdan Jontulovic just approached PokerNews to tell us of his unfortunate bustout hand.
Jontulovic said that Mario Colavita opened from the hijack and he defended out of the big blind.
The flop came down 10♣8♣8♥ and Jontulovic check-called a continuation-bet from Colavita. The turn was a flush completing 9♣ and Jontulovic check-called another bet from Colavita.
Jontulovic checked for the last time when the 3♥ came on the river and Colavita shoved to put Jontulovic all in. Jontulovic called and tabled the king-high flush with K♣4♣, but he had been drawing dead already on the turn to the straight flush of Colavita. The pot was pushed to Colavita, and Jontulovic was out of the tournament just shy of the money.
Roland Rahme shoved his last 58,000 into the middle from middle position and was called by Andreas Mavromoustakis in the hijack. Candido Cappiello also called from the big blind.
The action was checked all the way to showdown on the 6♣6♠3♥5♥10♦ runout where Rahme's A♥4♣ was beaten by the A♦Q♠ of Cappiello. Mavromoustakis mucked.
Dmitry Gromov opened with a raise to 24,000 from middle position and only Nils Pudel called from the hijack.
The two players checked a board of Q♥J♦7♣9♥4♣ all the way to the river before Pudel bet 40,000. Gromov was curious enough to make the call and was shown A♦Q♣ by Pudel for a pair of queens on the flop. Gromov mucked and Pudel scooped in the pot.
There had been an open in front before Viliyan Petleshkov three-bet the button to 65,000. Umberto Ruggeri then four-bet to 160,000 out of the big blind, which only Petleshkov called.
Both saw the 10♠4♠5♣ flop where Ruggeri made a continuation-bet of 95,000. After some time, Petleshkov called to see the 7♦ turn, which went check-check.
A K♦ landed on the river and after counting out his stack, Ruggeri fired out a bet of 115,000. Petleshkov didn't need to think for too long to make a decision, and quickly folded his cards, surrendering the pot to his opponent.
There was an open to 24,000 from a player in middle position before Ruslan Bakhtiev three-bet to 40,000 out of the small blind. Bakhtiev's opponent called to see a flop.
Bakhtiev put out a bet of roughly 60,000 on the 5♣6♠4♣ flop and his opponent quickly called.
The turn came the Q♠ and Bakhtiev bet 210,000 with around 140,000 behind. The middle position player shoved to put Bakhtiev all in, and Bakhtiev called for his remaining chips.
Ruslan Bakhtiev: K♠Q♣
Middle Position: A♦6♥
Bakhtiev had found a fortunate turn to take the lead in the hand with a pair of queens and just had to fade a six or ace on the river to double up. The 5♠ fell on the river and Bakhtiev doubled up through his opponent.
There had been an open before Dmitry Gromov made it 75,000 from the hijack. Kemal Aslan then four-bet from the small blind to 207,000, which only Gromov called.
On the 9♥6♦8♣ flop, Aslan continued with a bet of 107,000, and was put to the test as Gromov slid out a full stack of white chips, for a raise to 500,000. Aslan had around 260,000 behind and was deep in the tank while he pondered how to proceed.
After counting out his stack a few times, Aslan elected to fold, and Gromov added to his stack as the bubble looms closer.
Gromov + big stack + bubble = A nightmare for short stacks.
Maxime Chilaud opened to 20,000 from the hijack with Roman Gadzhiev calling from the cutoff before Maksim Shornikau three-bet to 115,000 out of the big blind. Chilaud called, and then Gadzhiev back-jammed for roughly 800,000 in total. Shornikau, who had a similar amount of chips, went into the tank. After thinking for around a minute, he let go of his hand. Chilaud also tank-folded, and Gadzhiev turned over K♣K♦ as he pulled in the pot.
