The board read 8♣9♠8♠7♠J♦ with 43,000 in the middle and Daniele Polverino checked to Stipe Orec.
Orec fired out a bet of 60,000, sending Polverino deep into the tank. Polverino took a couple of minutes before eventually mucking his hand.
Stipe Orec opened under the gun to 4,000 and was called by Hazir Osmani and an opponent before action reached Tomas Pihurik in the big blind.
Pihurik produced a three-bet jam to 22,200. Orec pondered his options before moving all in, forcing folds from both of the other players, to put Pihurik at risk.
Tomas Pihurik: 4♥4♠
Stipe Orec: K♠8♠
Pihurik was ahead in a race and remained so after the 5♥3♠Q♣10♠3♣ runout, securing a timely double up.
The board read A♣9♥6♣4♥ with about 23,000 in the middle. Thomas Hofmann check-called a bet of 8,600 from Stipe Orec.
On the 3♥ turn Hofmann again checked to Orec. Orec put out a bet of 10,500 which Hofmann called.
Orec turned over 9♦3♦ for rivered two pair, causing Hofmann to chuckle to himself as he mucked his hand.

The flop read 2♦Q♣10♦ with 13,000 in the middle, and two opponents had checked to Dritan Kaleci.

The board read A♣10♠9♥Q♠ and around 13,000 was in the middle when Marius Wolf checked to Matej Michalek. Michalek slid out a bet of 7,500 and was faced with a check-raise to 15,000 from Wolf. Michalek called.
On the 2♣ river Wolf moved all in for 37,900. Michalek called but was shown the bad news when Wolf turned over J♣8♦ for the turned straight. Michalek showed 9♠9♦ for a set of nines
