Patrick Prijot opened to 75,000 from the hijack, and called a three-bet jam of 610,000 from David Docherty in the small blind.
David Docherty: K♦9♦
Patrick Prijot: A♣10♥
Docherty needed help, and he found top pair, while Prijot bricked, the 9♥6♦4♣6♠8♠ runout, much to Prijot's frustration.
Manuel Schnur opened to 60,000 from the cutoff, and called a three-bet to 240,000 from Conor O'Driscoll in the small blind.
On the 7♣2♠2♦ flop, O'Driscoll continued with a bet of 130,000. Schnur called to see the 6♥ turn, where O'Driscoll check-called a bet of 350,000.
The Q♥ river was checked through, and Schnur mucked when O'Driscoll tabled K♠K♣.
Akiko Ota opened to 60,000 from the button, and received a call from the small blind, before Sebastien Guinand three-bet to 300,000 from the big blind.
Ota four-bet jammed for 1,340,000 total, and Guinand called somewhat reluctantly after a fair spell in the tank.
Akiko Ota: J♠J♦
Sebastien Guinand: A♠J♣
Ota was in great shape, but the ace was in the window on the A♣7♠2♣ flop, and there was no one-outer on the 4♦3♦ remaining runout.
Andrew Hulme was raking in a big pot, having raised the river to 1,150,000 over a bet of 325,000 from Ahmet Demirturan, the board reading J♥7♣3♥4♣8♥, and with around 700,000 in the middle.
Demirturan had Q♥10♥ for the flush, but Hulme had the nuts with A♥6♥, in a brutal cooler, which stunned Demirturan.
In the next hand Hulme opened, and Demirturan three-bet jammed for 320,000. Hulme reluctantly called.
Ahmet Demirturan: A♦9♣
Andrew Hulme: K♦8♦
Demirturan was ahead, but Hulme turned a king on the Q♥4♦4♥K♥4♠ runout.
At least 700,000 had made its way into the middle on 9♦8♣5♥5♦Q♠, and Lulei Hu and Luca Delfino checked to Stan Van Dijk.
He fired out a bet of 740,000, and forced folds from both of his opponents.
At another table, short-stack Henrik Veldhoen doubled with kings against his opponent's pocket threes on the J♥6♣2♣4♣A♣ runout, both players making a one-card flush.
Kadir Karadag was all-in for around 700,000 and at risk against Francois Depasse.
Kadir Karadag: A♣Q♣
Francois Depasse: A♥K♠
Karadag was pipped, and Depasse's kicker played on the 9♥8♦2♣A♦10♣ runout.
Wuai-Cheng Tsang jammed for around 400,000 from the small blind, and was looked up by Nicolas Burtin.
Wuai-Cheng Tsang: Q♠J♦
Nicolas Burtin: A♣8♠
Tsang needed help, but Burtin flopped trip aces, and Tsang was dead by the turn.
Gijsbert Van Doesburg was all-in for 395,000 and at risk against Conor O'Driscoll.
Gijsbert Van Doesburg: 9♠9♣
Conor O'Driscoll: A♦K♦
It was off to the races, and Van Doesburg was ahead until the river, when O'Driscoll spiked an ace in cruel fashion on the J♣6♥5♥J♥A♠ runout.
Van Doesburg shook his head with frustration, probably because he lost numerous all-in scenarios with O'Driscoll yesterday, and was rivered on a number of occasions.
In a battle of the blinds between Henrik Veldhoen and Manuel Schnur, 400,000 had made its way into the middle, with the board reading K♦3♦2♣9♥9♣.
Veldhoen check-called a bet of 420,000 from Schnur after a good spell in the tank, and tapped the table and mucked when Schnur showed J♥9♦ for trip nines.
