Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 16,000 in early position, and both Roman Hrabec, on the button, and Chang Lee in the big blind called.
Lee and Ponakovs both checked on the 8♦J♥3♠ flop, and Hrabec placed a bet of 20,000. Lee called, but Ponakovs folded.

Nikolai Mamut opened to 16,000 from the hijack and called a three-bet of 50,000 from Manuel Fritz, who was in the cutoff.
Mamut check-called a 30,000 bet from Fritz on the 2♥3♠Q♥ flop and a 90,000 barrel from Fritz on the 5♣ turn.
Mamut checked a final time on the 5♥ river and Fritz bet enough to put Mamut all in for his last 200,000.
After using up a couple of time extensions, Mamut let his hand go.
"I can't believe the cameras are leaving when I pull a huge bluff!" Fritz said without showing his hand.

Wilson called and checked the turn A♠ over to Palker who bet 90,000, which Wilson called.
Action checked through on the river 2♥ and Wilson showed A♣Q♥ for the second nut flush.
"Nice river," replied Palker as he flashed 6♥5♥ for a flopped flush and Wilson raked in the pot.

On the turn J♦, Miao moved all in for 132,000 effective and Koon called.

Stephen Chidwick raised to 18,000 in the cutoff, which received calls from Vinny Lingham on the button as well as Andrew Lichtenberger and Rania Nasreddine in the small and big blind.
The action checked to Lingham on the 2♦7♥10♣ flop, who bet 35,000. That was enough to remove Lichtenberger and Nasreddine, but not Chidwick, who called.
That put an end to the betting, as both players checked on the 3♣ turn and K♣ river. Chidwick tabled A♣7♠, which was enough to claim the pot, as Lingham mucked.
Level 6
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Boris Kolev raised to 16,000 from under the gun, and Boris Angelov was the only player to call, doing so in the hijack.
Kolev continued for 25,000 on the 6♣2♣2♥ flop, which Angelov called before the action checked through on the 6♥ turn.
The 3♠ completed the board, and Kolev fired out a chunky 125,000. That was enough to send Angelov deep into the tank, using two time extensions before ultimately folding.
