With around 10,000 in the pot on a flop of A♣2♠5♠, Alexey Savenkov bet 2,800 from the button and Tom Middleton check-raised to 9,000 out of the big blind. Savenkov made the call.
The K♠ dropped on the turn, and Middleton bet 11,000, which again Savenkov called.
Both players checked the Q♥ river and Middleton's A♥9♦ for a pair of aces took down the pot.

With a fresh starting stack of 100,000, Hassan Nashar raised from the hijack to 5,000, and only Aleksandr Chernikov called from the big blind.
Chernikov checked the 9♠A♠A♣ flop, and Nashar bet 12,000. Chernikov opted just to call, and the J♥ appeared on the turn. Chernikov checked again, but then folded after Nashar bet 25,000.
As the pot was pushed to Nashar, he flipped over the 2♦ and said to Chernikov: "Either you go to the cashier, or I go to the cashier. One of us is going to the cashier there"
Around five minutes later, Nashar was eliminated and headed directly to the cashier to get a new, fresh starting stack.

Damir Zhugralin got he is stack of 33,000 into the middle from the big blind with Alessio Isaia making the call from the cutoff.
Damir Zhugralin: A♠2♦
Alessio Isaia: A♦8♠
Isaia dominated Zhugralin, but the K♦3♦Q♣ flop meant a chopped pot was likely. However, the 2♥ turn catapulted Zhugralin into the lead with a pair. He improved to trips on the 2♣ river, and earned the much-needed double-up.

From the cutoff, Aram Oganyan had three-bet to 7,500 over a raise from early position. Carlos Aoun four-bet from the big blind to 18,000, which Oganyan just called.
When the 2♣7♥10♥ flop came down, Aoun tossed out a bet of 30,000. Oganyan paused briefly before making the call.
Aoun slowed down and checked the Q♣ turn, prompting Oganyan to jam for 67,700. Aoun was visibly distressed by his situation, but after a brief pause, he made the call to put Oganyan at risk.
Aram Oganyan: A♥A♦
Carlos Aoun: J♥J♣
Oganyan had slow-played aces to perfection, and now was poised to double up, unless a two-outer jack came on the river. A 9♠ appeared on the river, and Oganyan doubled.

Viacheslav Balaev made it 2,500 from the hijack and Daniel Rezaei three-bet to 7,200 from the button. Balaev four-bet to 13,500 with about 45,000 behind. Rezaei took a look at Balaev's stack, then five-bet jammed to put him all in. Balaev quickly called.
Viacheslav Balaev: Q♦Q♣
Daniel Rezaei: A♦3♦
Rezaei had been making a move with a suited ace, and ran into the Ladies of Balaev. However, he still could hit an ace or some diamonds to bust Balaev.
The 7♦Q♠5♥ flop gave Balaev top set and meant Rezaei needed running cards to win. Rezaei picked up a flush draw on the K♦ turn, but the 9♣ river was clean for Balaev, and he doubled up.

Alexey Savenkov made it 2,400 on the button, and Yiannis Liperis three-bet to 9,000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Savenkov called.
Liperis continued on the Q♠6♦7♣ flop with a bet of 8,000. Once again, Savenkov called.
A 9♥ hit the turn, and Liperis fired again, this time for 27,000. Savenkov pondered for a few moments before jamming for Liperis' remaining 60,000. Liperis glanced back at his cards and quickly called.
Yiannis Liperis: Q♥Q♣
Alexey Savenkov: 8♠5♠
Liperis' top set was behind to the turn straight of Savenkov. Liperis was looking for a board-pairing river to stay alive, but the K♠ river wasn't it, and all of his chips were sent over to Savenkov.
