Artsiom Dzekhtsiarou just won a huge pot of over half a million just before the dinner break, increasing his stack to around 600,000 and sending Thomas Alfred Mayer to the rail.
The action was picked up with Mayer's stack in the middle on the turn of a board showing 4♥K♥8♦2♦, with already plenty of chips in the pot and Dzekhtsiarou trying to win it all with a slightly bigger stack.
Thomas Alfred Mayer: K♦Q♥ 
Artsiom Dzekhtsiarou: 8♥8♣
Mayer had top pair, but he was drawing dead against the set of snowmen in Dzekhtsiarou's hand.
An irrelevant 6♣ completed the board, sending Mayer to the rail and propelling Dzekhtsiarou up the chip counts.

Elio Farah just told PokerNews that he and his neighbour had just played a 370,000 pot without looking at their cards.
Farah said that he and his neighbour, both of whom were in the blinds, agreed to move all in preflop without looking if the action folded to them.
As fate would have it, the action did fold to them, and the chips quickly found their way into the middle.
Elio Farah: Jx8x
Opponent: Jx7x
Farah was dominating his opponent from the outset, which is not something you hear very often in a blind all-in without looking.
He said an eight arrived on the runout to secure the double-up, pushing him to almost 100 big blinds.

Joris Ruijs raised to 9,000 from the cutoff, and Christopher Rossos three-bet the button to 35,000. Ruijs elected to continue with a call.
Ruijs knuckled the action over to Rossos on the 8♠J♦Q♣ flop. Rossos tossed out a continuation-bet of 25,000 and was met by a raise to 58,000 from Ruijs.
Rossos wasn't backing down as he put in a three-bet, which got Ruijs to throw his cards away.

Erdal Gulseven raised to 80,000 from middle position, with the player in the cutoff calling and Lennart Beumelburg coming along from the big blind.
The 9♦8♠2♣ flop checked to the cutoff player, who fired for 9,000. Only Gulseven called.
Both players checked the Q♥ turn to see the 10♦ river. Gulseven bet 14,000, which was enough to get his opponent to fold.

Konstantin Voronin raised from the hijack, and only Adrian Govea called from the big blind.
Govea knuckled it to Voronin when he saw the 3♣10♠Q♦ flop, and Voronin fired for 5,000. Govea continued via a call.
Both players checked the [jg] turn before Govea fired for 11,000 on the 2♦ river. Voronin mulled it over and ultimately thought a fold was best, giving up the pot to Govea.

Boris Smuskevicius raised from early position to 7,000, and Jordan Fisch jammed from the next seat for 55,000. Alexander Lakhov moved in over the top from the hijack for about 130,000, which forced Smuskevicius to fold.
Jordan Fisch: A♥9♦
Alexander Lakhov: Q♣Q♥
Fisch was in trouble against Lakhov's queens and needed to find an ace to survive.
He found no assistance through the J♠6♠7♥10♠7♦ runout, and all of his chips were sent to Lakhov.

Huseyin Akgul raised under the gun to 6,000, with Koray Korkmaz calling from the small blind and Alexey Borovkov defending from the big blind.
After Korkmaz checked on the 5♠7♠6♣ flop, Borovkov bet 5,000, which Akgul and Korkmaz called.
A second check came from Korkmaz on the 3♥ turn, and Borovkov again, choosing the amount of 9,000. Once more, Akgul and Korkmaz called.
All three players checked the J♣ river, and Korkmaz's 4♠4♥ for a straight was enough to win the pot.
