Bogdan Jontulovic opened to 8,000 in the hijack and called when Umit Sadi moved all in for 63,000 from the cutoff.
Umit Sadi: K♣J♣
Bogdan Jontulovic: A♠10♣
The 6♠9♥Q♣ flop offered Sadi new ways to win, but the board bricked out with the 5♥ turn and 2♦ river.
Katherina Aristotelos raised from middle position to 8,000, and only the player in the hijack called.
On the J♦J♣9♥ flop, Aristotelos fired for 5,000, and her opponent called.
The K♠ turn checked through before the 6♥ completed the board. Aristotelos bet 10,500, and her opponent called.

There was a raise from under the gun to 8,000 with three callers before Tobias Peters squeezed to 31,000 from the big blind. The under-the-gun player then four-bet jammed for around 50,000. Everyone folded, but Peters called.
Under the Gun: A♠Q♣
Tobias Peters: A♥A♣
Peters had the goods with pocket rockets, and nothing changed on the 6♣6♦2♠2♥J♥ runout, meaning all of his opponent's chips were sent his way.
Level: 10
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Yahor Dambrouski raised to 6,000 in the cutoff, which both Hassan Nashar and Geoffrey Mooney called from the button and big blind.
Once Mooney had checked on a 4♥2♦J♠ flop, Dambrouski bet 7,000. Nashar raised to 15,000, which removed Mooney, but Dambrouski called.
Dambrouski checked over to Nashar on the K♥ turn, who asked him, "How much do you have left?" The answer was 63,000, so Nashar bet 62,500.
Dambrouski folded, and Nashar showed him the 4♣.
After some raising back and forth, Mehmet Dalkilic's stack of around 70,000 got into the middle with Ehsan Amiri trying to win it.
Mehmet Dalkilic: A♠K♦
Ehsan Amiri: Q♦Q♣
Amiri flopped a set on the monotone 8♠9♠Q♠ flop, although Dalkilic picked up a flush draw.
The A♣ turn was no help to Dalkilic, and neither was the 8♣ river, which improved Amiri to a full house.
Dalkilic hit the rail, while Amiri's stack climbed to roughly 400,000.
