There was about 140,000 in the pot by the turn, on a board showing 6♥5♠Q♥9♥. Jorge Ufano checked from the big blind and Sandro Villani checked back from under the gun.
A board-pairing Q♠ landed on the river, and after a lot of thinking, Ufano placed out a small bet of 18,000. Villani quickly called and Ufano showed trips with A♥Q♦. Villani had that beat with 6♠6♦ for a boat, and he was given the pot.

From the cutoff, Andrea Giacchino committed his last 28,500 and was instantly called by Oskar Bonifacio in the big blind.
Andrea Giacchino: J♣10♠
Oskar Bonifacio: K♦Q♦
Bonifacio was slightly ahead and stayed ahead through the 3♦8♣3♣ flop and 7♣ turn.
Giacchino needed some help on the river, and he found it in the form of the J♥ to give him top pair, and secure the much-needed double-up.

Dieter Pichler came in for a raise to 6,000 under the gun and only Herbert Reissnecker called on the button.
The dealer fanned out a flop of 2♠6♥4♠, and Pichler continued for 9,000. Reissnecker proceeded via a call.
A 10♣ on the turn didn't slow Pichler down as he fired a second barrel of 18,000. Reissnecker shoved for 43,000, and after a little tank, Pichler folded.
As Reissnecker was awarded the pot, he revealed he had the goods with 4♣4♦ for a set.

Gregory Luttke-Grech raised to 6,000 from early position before Stefan Eggenberger shoved for 45,000 from middle position. Fabian Bartuschk cold-called in the hijack and Johann Schamne shoved for 87,500 from the button. Bartuschk called with the chance to bust two players.
Stefan Eggenberger: 8♦8♣
Johann Schamne: A♣K♣
Fabian Bartuschk: J♠J♦
Bartuschk's pair of jacks stayed ahead the entire way on the 3♦7♥5♥7♠9♥ runout, which meant all of Eggenberger's and Schamne's chips were now Bartuschk's.

Yuxi Huang got her stack of 90,500 into the middle preflop from the cutoff and Semih Retzep was trying to bust her from the big blind.
Yuxi Huang: 7♥7♦
Semih Retzep: Q♣Q♠
The pair of queens for Retzep had Huang on the ropes, and she needed some help from the dealer to keep her Main Event journey going.
It wasn't to be for Huang as the board ran out A♠10♦6♦K♠8♠ to keep Retzep's ladies in front, and Huang was out.

Claudio Di Giacomo was all-in preflop for his last 60,000 or so chips from the button, with Gunnar Fischer trying to send him to the rail out of the cutoff.
Claudio Di Giacomo: K♠J♠
Gunnar Fischer: A♠A♥
Di Giacomo was the one at risk this time and needed a miracle to crack Fischer's aces.
Di Giacomo wasn't aided by the 8♠10♥8♦ flop and was drawing dead after the 4♦ hit the turn. Di Giacomo was already headed for the exit as the irrelevant 4♥ completed the board.
