Egidio Aragno and Gabi Livshitz had collected 12,500 chips in the middle when they went to a flop of 3♣10♥J♦. Aragno checked from early position to Livshitz in the seat next over, who made a bet of 5,000.
Aragno tossed in a quick call, after which the 9♥ turn went check-check. The 3♥ fell on the river and saw Aragno fire a bet of 15,000.
Livshitz quickly threw in a calling chip but mucked his cards once Aragno tabled Q♥J♥ for a flush.
Button Daniel Bussmann committed his final 25,000 on a flop of 4♠3♠6♣ in a pot of roughly the same size. Umberto Ruggeri looked him up in the hijack, and the cards were tabled.
Daniel Bussmann: J♠J♥ 
Umberto Ruggeri: 8♠7♠
The 4♣ turn remained safe for Bussmann's jacks, but Ruggeri hit one of his draws on the 5♣ river. His straight sent a displeased Bussmann to the rail as Ruggeri crossed the six-figure mark once again.
Floriano Ignazio got his final 9,000 in on the button against Zoran Stojanovic under the gun.
Floriano Ignazio: 3♦3♣
Zoran Stojanovic: 6♥6♦
No three appeared on the 2♠10♥J♠2♥K♠ runout, spelling the end of Ignazio's bullet.
Arriving on a completed board of A♥Q♣6♦9♣K♣, Xavier Gour made a bet of 10,000 into the pot of 25,000 from the small blind. Conor Bergin then moved all in for 47,600 in middle position, sending Gour into the tank.
After apologizing for taking his time, Gour reluctantly tossed in a call. Bergin tabled A♣7♣ for the nut flush, besting the A♦Q♥ of Gour and raking in a full double-up.
