Farkas Benedek's stack had plummeted to just 16,200, and after some raising back and forth, all of his chips found their way into the middle against a player in middle position who was looking to eliminate him.
Farkas Benedek: K♠K♣ 
Middle position: Q♠Q♦
Benedek had the goods with pocket kings, and he managed to fade the bad beat on the 4♠9♠J♠2♥A♣ runout, allowing him to double up to around a third of the starting stack.
Level: 3
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
On the J♠10♣8♠ flop, with three players involved, the player in the big blind had around 7,000 in front of him when Adi Alkalay jammed for 30,300 from the hijack. Sukhrat Massimov, in the small blind, put in another raise to 62,000, which forced the big blind out.
Adi Alkalay: 8♣8♥
Sukhrat Massimov: Q♦9♦
Massimov had already won the majority of Alkalay's stack earlier in the level, and now had the chance to win the rest if he could avoid the board pairing.
The 2♥ turn was about as safe as it could have been for Massimov. However, the 2♦ river was anything but, as Alkalay improved to a full house and climbed back to almost the starting stack.
There was a raise to 1,200 from Adi Alkalay early position player before Sukhrat Massimov in the cutoff, for the second hand in a row, three-bet to around 4,300. Alkalay had folded to the three-bet in the previous hand, but this time he opted to four-bet to 13,800. Massimov continued with a call.
With a healthy amount already in the middle, Alkalay fired a bet of 18,800 on the monotone 5♥7♥8♥ flop, and Massimov flicked in the call.
A second barrel of 41,200 came from Alkalay on the A♣ turn. Massimov didn't take long before moving all in with the covering stack, causing Alkalay to fold, preserving the 30,000 or so chips he had left.
With around 9,100 in the pot on a board of 2♠6♦7♣Q♠, Jovan Kenjic checked from the big blind and faced an overbet of 15,000 from Martins Adeniya, who had started the hand under the gun. Kenjic decided to call.
One last check came from Kenjic on the 8♣ river, and after using a couple of time banks, Adeniya jammed for Kenjic's remaining 80,000 or so. Kenjic snap-folded, surrendering the pot to Adeniya.
Level: 2
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 600
Lennart Beumelburg raised from the cutoff, and Naum Barulia called from the small blind.
Both players checked the A♦7♦J♣ flop to see the 4♠ turn. Barulia led out for 2,000, which Beumelburg called.
Barulia fired a final bet of 3,500 on the Q♥ river, and Beumelburg slid his cards back to the dealer.
Davit Mikhanashvili raised under the gun, and Illia Hurin defended from the big blind.
Hurin check-called a continuation-bet of 1,100 from Mikhanashvili on the 3♠9♥6♥ flop.
Both players checked the 5♠ turn before the J♥ completed the board. Hurin led out for 5,500, which was enough to get Mikhanashvili to fold.
Those who were seated before the first shuffle received an additional 10% of the starting stack.
