The action was joined with 31,500 in the pot, and a 7♦A♥5♥ flop face up on the felt. John Juanda worked his stack of 14,500 into the middle from the big blind and was at risk versus Pavel Izotov in middle position.
John Juanda: A♦K♠Q♣10♣ 
Pavel Izotov: J♥9♥6♠5♠
The 5♦ turn moved Izotov into the lead, and he stayed there when the 2♥ completed the board, seeing Juanda join the rail.
Nitesh Rawtani raised to 5,500 on the button, and called off for his 9,500 total when Kai Yang put him all in from the big blind.
Nitesh Rawtani: A♦6♣5♣3♦
Kai Yang: J♦J♣9♥4♣
The 9♠Q♠A♠2♠2♦ board gave Rawtani his double up, who is on the comeback from previously having just a single 1,000 chip.
Esther Taylor raised to 4,000 from under the gun, and was called by Huabao Chen in middle position and Grzegorz Derkowski in the big blind.
The flop came K♠Q♦J♥, Derkowski checked, Taylor bet 4,000, and only Chen called. The turn fell the 4♠, Taylor bet 14,000, and Chen called, bringing the 7♣ river.
Taylor bet 26,000, leaving herself with 500 behind, prompting Chen to think for a brief moment before giving up his hand.
Michael Mizrachi, who appears to be the current chip leader, opened to 5,000 from early position. Daniel Smuskovics announced a pot-sized three-bet from the cutoff and action folded back to Mizrachi, who quickly raised again to put Smuskovics all in for 35,500 total. Smuskovics called and a showdown was held.
"Good game," Mizrachi joked as he reached across the table to shake Smuskovics' hand. "It was nice playing with you."
Daniel Smuskovics: A♠A♦K♥5♠
Michael Mizrachi: K♦J♠10♣9♣
Mizrachi was behind, but the 2♣10♦4♠ flop improved him to a pair of tens.
The 7♣ turn added a flush draw to Mizrachi's outs, but a merciful 6♠ came on the river for Smuskovics, awarding him the double up to put a least a temporary halt to Mizrachi's momentum.
Action went five-ways to a flop of 5♦3♣2♣ in a limped pot, where it checked through to the 8♣ turn.
Pavel Plesuv led out for 3,000 and only Julien Sitbon called in the hijack, bringing the 7♦ river.
"How much is in the pot?" asked Plesuv. Once it was confirmed to be 15,000, he bet pot.
Sitbon thought for a moment before making the call with A♥7♥6♦4♦ for the straight, besting the A♣7♠5♥3♦ of Plesuv.
Matt Glantz raised to 4,000 in middle position and proceeded with a call when Ilya Vikoulovski three-bet 11,000 in the big blind.
Vikoulovski continued with a bet of 15,000 on a K♦J♠5♥ flop, which was met by a raise, as Glantz put 75,000 into the middle.
Vikoulovski gave it consideration, but ultimately chose to fold.

The flop came 10♣4♠10♥, Claushuis bet 8,500, and Oiberman called, bringing the 8♦ turn, where both players checked.
