Three-handed on a board of 4♠7♠A♣7♥, Rostyslav Sabishchenko bet 6,000 from the hijack and Daniel Smuskovics called in the big blind, while button Tahfun Dogan got out of the way.
The river came the J♥ and Sabishchenko fired out another 20,000. Smuskovics didn't call right away this time, instead taking around 30 seconds before flicking in a chip to signify a call.
Sabishchenko then turned over A♠K♦8♥7♦ for sevens full of aces and Smuskovics mucked.

Heads-up to the A♠8♠7♣5♣ turn, Shawn Stroke bet 1,500 out of the small blind. He earned a call by Paolo Erriques in the cutoff and then checked the K♦ on the river. Erriques checked back and Stroke tabled his A♥10♠7♠5♠ for two pair and missed spade draw.
Erriques had that beat with the K♣K♠3♥2♣ and pointed towards his clubs when Stroke had a closer look from the other side of the table as reason why he called the turn bet.

Patrik Jaros was in the cutoff and got his last 35,000 in the middle on a flop of J♠6♦7♠. Nikolaos Lampropoulos in the big blind also shoved for 52,000 and Eran Carmi had both players covered and at risk in middle position.
Patrik Jaros: A♠K♣2♦2♠
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: K♠K♥5♠4♠
Eran Carmi: Q♦J♥7♦5♥
"How many spades are left," Jaros said, standing up and leaning over the table awaiting the 9♣ turn. Carmi was still ahead with his two pair, but the 9♥ river gave Lampropoulos kings and nines to earn the massive pot.
Lampropoulos doubled up off Carmi, while Jaros was eliminated.

Dorel Eldabach and Anson Tsang were heads-up on a board of 3♣5♣3♥J♣ when Eldabach bet 3,800 on the button.
Tsang then raised to 10,000 in middle position and Eldabach called. The river came the 3♠ and Tsang checked.
Eldabach then flicked in a blue 5,000 chip and Tsang nodded his head before the defending champion mucked.
Tsang is still hovering around the starting stack, while the Israeli high stakes cash game pro has built up a stack of around 90,000.

Heads-up to the Q♠4♥3♣A♣ turn, Goran Urumovic checked out of the big blind. Maksim Shuts made it 5,500 to go only for the Swede to splash in several T-5,000 for a pot-sized check-raise. That was enough to force out Shuts, who quickly sent his cards into the muck.
Urumovic has already more than tripled up his starting stack.

On a heads-up flop of Q♠10♦6♠, Siarhei Chudapal and Antonello Capobianco locked horns as the former ended up all-in and at risk for 31,000.
Siarhei Chudapal: Q♣Q♥9♣3♥
Antonello Capobianco: K♣J♣J♠2♣
It was one of the classic setups of PLO with the top set against a straight draw and Chudapal instantly locked up the double with the 6♣ turn before improving to a superior full house on he 10♣ river.

Pierre Erbland reentered after busting to Goran Urumovic earlier and quickly tangled in another big pot, this time against Marc Palatzky.
With around 30,000 in the pot on a flop of J♥10♥J♦, Erbland moved all in for around 28,000 from the hijack and Palatzky, in the big blind, gave it some thought before calling.
Pierre Erbland: A♣Q♦Q♥4♣
Marc Palatzky: 9♠8♣7♣5♠
Erbland was ahead with his two pair, queens and jacks, while Palatzky had a straight draw. The 7♥ turn gave him the straight, and Erbland headed off to the rail again following the 3♣ river.
