Nadav Barash opened to 80,000 on the button and Rohit Mariwalla defended in the big blind.
Mariwalla checked on the flop of 4♥Q♣Q♠ and Barash continued for 40,000. Mariwalla called. Mariwalla checked again on the Q♦ turn and Barash bet 100,000. Mariwalla again called.
Mariwalla checked once more on the 7♣ river and Barash fired a final bet of 210,000. Mariwalla went in the tank and eventually called.
Barash could just show ace-high with A♣6♣, while Mariwalla had a slightly better ace-high with A♠8♠ and his eight kicker played to take the pot.
Stephen Hesse raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and Fabrice Bigot defended from the big blind. The flop came A♥K♦6♣ and Bigot check-called a bet of 75,000 from Hesse.
The turn brought the 7♣ and Bigot checked again. Hesse sized up a bet of 225,000 and Bigot stuck around for the 5♣ on the river. Bigot checked once more and Hesse checked it back. Bigot turned over K♠9♣ but Hesse held A♠5♠ for two pair to win the pot.
The action folded to Oliver Entine in the cutoff and he pushed all-in for 720,000. The next two players folded but Tomas Szwarcberg called out of the big blind.
Oliver Entine: J♠J♣
Tomas Szwarcberg: A♠J♦
The K♠8♥7♥10♦ turn brought some split pot outs with a nine but the 7♣ river paired the board for Entine to double.
Matija Kajtez raised to 80,000 under the gun before Yaniv Peretz reraised to 205,000 in early position, leaving himself just one 5,000 chip behind. Bogdan Chornyy then four-bet to 330,000 in the hijack.
The table spent some time determining if Chornyy had made a legal raise before it was ruled that his bet stood. "That guy is probably good at math. A GTO wizard," a tablemate said about Chornyy.
The action went back on Kajtez who reraised to 780,000. Chornyy eventually folded and Peretz put in his last chip.
Yaniv Peretz: Q♥Q♦
Matija Kajtez: A♠A♥
Peretz had run his queens into Kajtez's aces and fell further behind on the 10♠8♠6♠ flop as Kajtez picked up a flush draw. Peretz had one out going to the turn, which came the 10♥ to open up an additional out. The river was the Q♠ and Peretz spiked a full house to earn the triple up.
"Can't get rid of him," tablemate Frank Flowers said.
"I used my one time. Not his one time, my one time," Peretz's fellow Israeli Gabi Livshitz said while watching on the rail.
David Swift made it 80,000 to go with 5♠5♦ from the hijack and Will Kassouf looked down at A♠J♦ in the cutoff and called. Gregor Sverko, on the button, three-bet to 320,000 with A♥Q♣.
"You're allowed to get away with one," said Swift as he folded. Kassouf was still to act behind.
"I was gonna three-bet with this hand," mentioned Kassouf in reference to Swift. "Maybe I'll save myself. Or are you repping a stronger hand than you actually have, 'cos you've got the button." Kassouf continued.
Eventually, Kassouf folded face up, and Sverko showed his cards as he took it down.
Viktor Blom raised to 80,000 in the cutoff. It folded to Andrew Hedley in the big blind, who tossed in calling chips. Another 80,000 flew in from Blom on the 10♦3♠Q♠ flop, which Hedley check-called.
After Hedley checked a second time, Blom sized up to 240,000 on the 8♥ turn. Hedley spent a good while in the tank before he let go of his second pair, seeing Blom cross the seven-figure mark.
There were approximately 500,000 chips already in the middle on a completed board of 4♥A♠2♥8♥Q♦. Scott Allacher bet 160,000 and was met by a raise to 775,000 by Giorgiy Skhulukhiya in an early position. Allacher went deep into the tank, and after thinking for quite some time, Allacher made the call.
Skhulukhiya flipped over the nuts with A♥7♥, and Allacher couldn't do anything but muck his cards and begin riffling his remaining stack of just 120,000.
Daniele Primerano and Sergio Veloso were heads-up in a pot that had around 600,000 in the middle already. The board read 8♥4♠2♠4♣ and Primerano check-called a bet of 360,000 from Veloso.
The river was the 3♠ and Primerano checked again. Veloso counted out a bet of 1,100,000 and Primerano went into the tank. Over a minute had passed and Primerano decided to lay his hand down.
Veloso windmilled his J♠J♥ face up onto the table and Primerano said that he couldn't beat it.
"Value or bluff?" Primerano asked.
"I don't know. Depends what you had," Veloso replied.
