With 28,000 in the pot, Faris Kanaan fired out for 9,000 from the small blind on the K♦A♣5♥ flop. Andrei Chiriliuc called from the cutoff.
A 3♣ landed on the turn, and Kanaan placed out a second barrel of 35,000. Again, Chiriliuc called.
Kanaan put Chiriliuc all in for his last 50,000 when the 10♣ arrived on the river. Chiriliuc went deep into the tank, mulling over whether to call for his tournament life or not. In the end, Chiriliuc slammed in the call.
Kannan turned over aces up with A♠5♣, which was good to win the pot and bust Chiriliuc, who showed A♥Q♦ for one pair.
With Dalibor Mijic all-in for a few thousand chips preflop, the dealer fanned out the 2♠5♣6♣ flop.
A side pot of 11,000 was still on offer between the other three players in the hand. Johann Schamne checked first from the small blind, Fabian Hiltebrand followed with a check in the big blind, and Yannick Gautschi knuckled it back on the button.
An 8♣ fell on the turn, prompting a second check from Schamne. Hiltebrand bet 7,000, and only Schamne called.
Mijic was already out of his seat and putting away his belongings as the J♥ came to complete the board. Schamne checked, and Hiltebrand jammed for about 30,000, resulting in an instant fold from Schamne.
Mijic flipped over Q♥4♥ for queen-high and began to walk toward the exit; however, to everyone's surprise Hiltebrand tabled 10♥9♥ for a busted straight draw and just ten-high.
Hiltebrand won the side pot thanks to his bluff, and Mijic quadrupled up with queen-high.
Mathias Muehlebach limped under the gun before Adrian Liechti raised to 3,000 in the hijack. Komil Khamidov called on the button, but the player in the small blind three-bet to 10,000. Muehlebach and Liechti called.
The small blind bet 10,000 upon seeing the 3♦4♠10♥ flop, and was immediately called by Muehlebach. Liechti folded.
When the 3♣ hit the turn, the small blind jammed for about 25,000. Muehlebach snap-called and the cards were tabled.
Small Blind: A♣A♦
Mathias Muehlebach: 8♠8♦
Muehlebach was in bad shape with pocket eights against the aces of his opponent, and only a date with an eight would win him the pot.
The dealer burned a card, then put out the 8♥ on the river to give Muehlebach exactly what he needed, sending the small blind player to the rail.
Daniele D'Angelo raised to 2,200 under the gun and found three callers, including Ahmet Yuekselen in the big blind.
When it checked to D'Angelo on the Q♥6♥2♠ flop, he bet 3,600, and only Yuekselen called.
Yuekselen checked again when he saw the J♦ turn, and after a few moments, D'Angelo bet 11,800. Yuekselen checked-raised to 25,000, which resulted in D'Angelo folding his cards.
