With two players seeing a board of 3♣K♥Q♥K♣ and roughly 2,000 in the middle, Sabri Neziri bet 1,200 from the small blind and Jonathan Pastore called from the big blind.
The river was the 7♠. Neziri bet 2,700 and Pastore called.
Neziri tabled 3♥3♦ for a full house to take the pot.
Lukas Pazma opened to 1,300 from under the gun and was three-bet to 4,400 by Selahaddin Bedir in the cutoff. Antoine Vranken called cold on the button and Pazma got out of the way.
Bedir checked to Vranken on the 3♥9♥4♣ flop and he bet 3,600. Bedir then check-raised to 13,600, which got a quick fold from Vranken to claim the pot.
With 35,500 in the pot on the turn of 6♣3♠2♣4♠, Merab Meladze moved all in from the hijack and covered Alex Peffly's stack of 66,900 who was sat under the gun.
Peffly was shocked by the shove. His eyes nearly popped out of his head like a scene from Tom and Jerry. Peffly took around 90 seconds before making the call.
Alex Peffly: J♣J♦
Merab Meladze: A♣K♣
Peffly was ahead but needed to dodge an ace, king, a club to win the hand, a non-club five would have provided a chop pot. The river card was black but it was the 9♠ to secure the double up for Peffly, which caused Meladze to slam the table in frustration.
Monika Zukowicz opened to 1,500 from middle position and Alberto Cigliano called from the small blind.
The flop came 9♣7♠3♣ and Cigliano check-called a 1,400 continuation bet from Zukowicz.
Zukowicz bet again for 4,000 when checked to on the 8♦ turn and this time Cigliano opted to fold.
Heads-up on a flop of 10♥8♠6♦, Marius Gicovanu bet 8,000 from the button and Patrick Delkof called in middle position.
The turn came the 8♥ and Gicovanu bet another 14,000. Delkof again called and the 9♣ fell on the river.
He checked again, and this time Gicovanu checked back and mucked when Delkof turned over J♦J♥.
Tobias Garp raised to 1,400 in the cutoff and received a call from the button, but Arment Savic put in a three-bet to 4,500. Garp four-bet to 14,500 and Savic called.
The flop came 7♦Q♦10♦ and Garp continued for 11,500. Savic called and both players then checked the 9♠ turn.
The river was the 3♣ and Savic led out for 15,000. Garp quickly folded as Savic took the pot off the newly-crowned WSOP bracelet winner.
Nicolas Sievers opened to 1,500 first-to-act and was three-bet to 5,000 by Karo Nuri from early position. Stefano Aprile called cold on the button and Sievers called as well.
Sievers checked to Nuri on the 4♥6♥7♥ flop and he continued for 5,500. Both Aprile and Sievers called.
Action checked through on the 5♥ turn, but then Sievers bet 19,000 when the 5♠ completed the board. Nuri tanked for some time before calling and Aprile got out of the way.
Sievers tabled 8♥8♣ for the straight flush and collected the pot.
Giuliano Bendinelli raised to 1,300 in the hijack before Alex Peffly three-bet to 3,600 on the button.
Bendinelli called and the flop came 2♠10♥9♣. He checked over to Peffly, who continued for 3,000.
Bendinelli again called and checked the K♦ turn. Peffly slowed down and checked as the 9♠ fell on the river. Both players checked again and Bendinelli showed J♥J♠ to win the pot.
Nicolas Sievers opened to 1,500 from the cutoff and Michal Zimani defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 8♥7♣3♦ flop leading to the Q♠ on the turn. Zimani check-called a 1,500 bet from Sievers.
Zimani checked again on the 9♠ river and Sievers bet 6,000. Zimani made the call.
Sievers could only show K♦10♣ for a bluff while Zimani tabled Q♦6♠ for top pair to take the pot.
