Vladimir Troyanovskiy sent his chips over to Sokratis Linaras and at the same time, [Removed:490] three-bet jammed on the button over a raise by Georges Chehade. Mikael Hen in the big blind moved all-in and Chehade folded.
[Removed:490]: 8♥8♠
Mikael Hen: A♠A♣
The inferior pair got there on the 9♠3♠3♦3♥8♣ river to leave Hen stunned, as he dropped to a mere five blinds.
On a board of 8♦4♦Q♥4♠9♣ with 2,000,000 chips in the pot, Georges Chehade in the cutoff was into the tank after Georgios Tsouloftas bet 840,000 on the river.
After a long moment, Chehade took a pile and put it in front of him to call. Tsouloftas seemed to hesitate to show his cards, but revealed 7♥6♥ for a bluff. Clearly happy, Chehade slammed A♠K♠ for ace-high and scooped this big pot.
Aleksej Grenz had opened from under the gun and called a 920,000 three-bet from De Han Kim who was on the button.
The flop came K♦J♠2♠. Grenz checked and Kim bet 575,000. Grenz then check-raised to 1,500,000, forcing a fold from his opponent.
Aleksei Donets was already awaiting his fate when the turn showed 9♥8♣4♥6♣. Matthew Davenport bet 475,000 out of the blinds and was called by Levan Rcheulishvili. The same action repeated on the 6♠ river for 475,000 and Donets had already stood up from his chair to gather his belongings.
Davenport tabled his 7♥5♥ for a straight, Donets was gone with the J♥2♥ and the A♠9♣ of Rcheulishvili were only briefly revealed.
Ihar Khursin limped from under the gun before [Removed:490], seated on his left, shoved. Georgios Tsouloftas did the same in middle position. That produced folds from all other players, including Khursin.
[Removed:490]: A♣K♣
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♠K♦
Both players had the same hand. So as expected, they split the pot on a board of 4♠J♦2♦5♥4♦.
The action folded all the way to Aleksei Donets on the button and he pushed all-in with his short stack. Francis Klar called all-in from the big blind for 1,135,000.
Francis Klar: A♣J♥
Aleksei Donets: K♦9♥
Both had a piece of the A♥K♣6♦ flop but it was Klar who stayed ahead on the 5♥ turn and 7♠ river.
Luigi Shehadeh limped from the small blind and big stack Artiom Poddubnii raised to 400,000 out of the big blind, earning a call from Shehadeh. Both players checked the 9♦7♥3♦ flop and Shehadeh also checked the A♣ turn. Poddubnii now bet 325,000 and that ended the hand right there.
Harcharan Dogra Dogra called all-in out of the small blind for 485,000 when [Removed:490] three-bet jammed to force out the initial raiser.
Harcharan Dogra Dogra: 8♥8♣
[Removed:490]: A♠J♦
The pocket pair prevailed thanks to the K♠7♥5♣6♣4♦ runout and Dogra Dogra more than doubled.
In a blind versus blind situation, Renato Ardelean opened to 300,000 from the small blind, and Elia Salerno defended from the big blind.
Ardelean made a continuation bet to 250,000 on the flop 8♣10♥9♣, and Salerno called. But on the turn A♥, both players decided to check.
The 3♦ finally came on the river, and Ardelean bet a little bit more than 400,000. Salerno immediately folded.
Aleksej Grenz opened to 260,000 from the cutoff and Filippo Ragone moved all in for approximately 900,000. Grenz made the call with a covering stack to put Ragone at risk.
Filippo Ragone: A♠Q♠
Aleksej Grenz: A♣J♣
Ragone was in great shape to double up and remained ahead on the 7♠8♣7♦ flop. The 5♠ turn was also a blank but the J♦ river gave Grenz two pair to take the pot down and send Ragone to the rail.
On a heads-up flop of 9♥8♦7♣, Omar Eljach checked in an early position. Luigi Shehadeh then bet 150,000 only for Eljach to check-raise to 475,000. A near instant fold by the Italian followed and Eljach won the pot without resistance.
