Christian Roberts opened, only to be met by a three-bet jam from Yves Thalmann of 48,000. Lukas Reimann in the next seat cold-called and Roberts folded, with Thalmann at risk.

Seid Saliji opened to 1,600 in the cutoff and was met with a minimum three-bet to 3,200 by Babic Borislav on the button. Matej Michalek called in the big blind, as did Saliji.
Action was checked to Borislav on the K♥8♥3♣ flop and his bet of 6,000 was enough to get folds from both his opponents.

Zoran Stojanovic opened to 3,500 and received calls from an opponent in the small blind and Christian Roberts in the big blind.
On the 4♣7♦6♦ flop Roberts put out a bet of 5,000, Stojanovic called and the other opponent folded.
On the Q♠ turn Roberts check-called a bet of 13,000 from Stojanovic.
On the 2♥ river Roberts changed tack, and fired out a bet of 98,000, putting Stojanovic to the test for the rest of his stack.
Stojanovic went deep into the tank. At one point he tried to engage in table talk but the language barrier got in the way.
He resorted to giving Roberts the eye for several minutes, prompting Roberts to ask, while smiling, "Do I have any tells? You keep looking at me. Either you have it or you don't."
Stojanovic eventually made the call.
Roberts turned over A♦7♠ for a pair of sevens, while Stojanovic had 8♠6♠ for a pair of sixes, sending a sizeable pot to Roberts.
