Jingchun Yu had raised in early position and called the three-bet to 16,000 of small blind Andrii Nikitin. Nikitin fired a bet of 9,500 on the 3♠3♥9♠ flop and 12,000 on the 8♥ turn, both times being called by Yu.
The J♠ river went check-check, and Nikitin showed A♦Q♦ for ace-high. Yu slammed his J♣10♣ on the table and raked in yet another pot with his top pair.
After some preflop action, David Carnero had committed his stack of 63,500 under the gun, and he was looked up by Conor Bergin.
David Carnero: A♠5♠ 
Conor Bergin: 9♦9♣
No ace came to the rescue on the K♥10♥8♣10♠J♣ runout, sending Carnero to the rail.
Level: 16
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Alice Sicconi had raised to 5,000 in the cutoff when Claudio Muller put in a three-bet to 18,000 from the big blind. Sicconi called to the 9♣K♥2♥ flop, where she faced a continuation-bet of 15,000.
Sicconi quickly put in calling chips, after which the 8♣ turn and 5♥ river were checked down. Muller showed A♦Q♠ for ace-high, but Sicconi won the pot with her K♣6♣ for top pair.
Arriving on a completed board of 3♦K♥2♣10♣A♥, Domenico Casalnuovo checked out of the big blind to Bartosz Jablonski in middle position. Jablonski then put a bet of 38,000 in the pot of 70,000.
Casalnuovo responded with a raise to 128,000, almost enough to put Jablonski all-in.
Jablonski tanked for a few minutes before settling on a fold. He tabled his 2♠2♥ face-up, but Casalnuovo did not return the favor. He slid his cards to the dealer as he raked in the pot and approached 100 big blinds.
Cesar Veloso had opened to 5,500 in middle position when it folded to Arie Kliper in the small blind. Kliper jammed in his stack of 28,500, and Veloso called off after some thinking time.
Arie Kliper: A♠10♥
Cesar Veloso: A♥J♠
Kliper was fearing his elimination after the 5♦4♥9♦ flop, but the 10♣ turn saved him as he made a pair of tens. The 9♥ river changed nothing, doubling up Kliper to 25 big blinds.
Samuel Mayet raised to 5,000 in middle position and was called by Eros Calderone in the hijack. Youcef Benzerfa then made it 23,000 to go in the cutoff, which only Calderone called.
Benzerfa and Calderone checked through the 3♦9♣9♦ flop and 7♠ turn to arrive at the Q♠ river.
Calderone put in a hefty bet of 60,000, which folded out Benzerfa after a minute or so.
