Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Paul Grummitt opened the cutoff and got a call from Alexander Sokolovsky on the button, Tarik Ugural in the small blind, and Mikhail Ostapenko in the big blind.
All four checked the Q♦6♠J♣ flop and when the 5♦ fell on the turn, Ugural checked. Ostapchenko bet 3,500, Grummitt folded, Sokolovsky called, and Ugural also called.
The J♠ river checked through, and Sokolovsky's 7♠7♥ for a pair of sevens was good for the pot.

Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Pavel Nikiforov opened to 2,500 in middle position before Adam Graeser three-bet shoved 23,000 from the hijack. Andrey Litvinov was sitting in the small blind and cold-called, which got Nikiforov to fold.
Adam Graeser: K♠Q♠ 
Andrey Litvinov: Q♥Q♣
Graeser was in trouble, but the odds turned in his favor when the dealer put out a flop of 3♥K♣4♠, giving him top pair. Litvinov only had one out and two attempts to find it, but neither the 9♥ turn nor 5♥ river was the last queen in the deck.

Level 10

Tarik Ugural opened the cutoff to 2,500 and Mikhail Ostapenko called from the button. Viktoria Shalneva also called in the big blind.
The trio saw a flop of A♥9♠A♦ and three checks later, a 6♠ hit the turn. When it got to Shalneva, she bet 3,000, which both Ugural and Ostapenko called.
A 2♥ fell on the river and Shalneva continued to tell the story that she had a good hand with a bet of 10,000, which Ugural snap-called. Ostapenko let it go.
Shalneva then showed a bluff with 10♦7♥, and Ugural claimed the pot with a pair of queens holding Q♠Q♦.

Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
After a series of raises preflop, Ziga Klopcic had his stack of around 25,000 in the middle from the button, and had been called by Miroslav Forman in the small blind and Christoforos Chrysochoidis in the cutoff.
Despite the preflop action, it was checked all the way to showdown on the 4♦7♠K♥2♠7♣ runout, where Klopcic was first to show and flipped A♥J♦.
Forman revealed a pair of nines holding 9♥9♦, but that was no good as Chrysochoidis showed a pair of tens with 10♦10♣ to secure the pot and the knockout.
