Luigi Pignataro had limped in from the small blind and Besmir Dini made it 115,000 out of the big blind. Pignataro called.
On the 10♠3♥2♥ flop, Pignataro check-called a bet of 80,000 from Dini, then they both checked the Q♠ turn.
When the 9♥ dropped on the river, Pignataro checked, then Dini instantly reached for chips and bet 105,000. Pignataro was thinking for some time then grabbed chips to call, and as he did, Dini swiftly picked up his cards and was prepared to show. Pignataro then put his chips back into his stack to think some more, but eventually did put in calling chips.
Dini then showed 9♠9♣ for a set, and Pignataro mucked.

Lasha Zamtaradze raised to 100,000 in early position and Simone Demasi three-bet to 450,000 in middle position, leaving around 75,000 behind. Zamtaradze called and they saw the flop come A♠10♠2♥.
Zamtaradze then put Demasi all in, and Demasi took his time until the clock was called. The countdown nearly reached zero until he put his last chips in the middle.
Simone Demasi: K♦Q♣
Lasha Zamtaradze: A♥J♠
Demasi was on a straight draw against Zamtaradze's top pair. The turn was the 2♠, but Demasi caught the J♥ on the river to make his straight and double up.
"Where are you going? Sit down," a tablemate said to Demasi after the hand.
"Lucky," Demasi replied.

Dave Stann raised to 90,000 from the hijack. Harel Azulay called from the cutoff and Thore Kunze called on the button.
All three players checked the 7♥J♥4♥ flop to see the 8♣ come on turn. After the action checked to Azulay, he bet 125,000 and got two folds from his opponents. Kunze was kind enough to show just the Q♠ for nothing as the pot was pushed toward him.

Liviu Nedelea: Q♣J♣
Christopher Campisano: 5♦5♣
Nedelea never connected with the 6♥6♦K♥8♣8♦ runout but both were playing the board, which meant the pot was chopped.

Dave Stann was all in from early position and up against Harel Azulay in middle position.
Dave Stann: 10♠10♣
Harel Azulay: A♥K♠
Azulay caught the K♦ in the window, but it was followed by 10♥5♠ as Stann spiked a set. The rest of the board ran out 9♣8♠ and Stann doubled up.
The dealer initially counted Stann's stack as 705,000, but Stann pointed out he actually had 780,000 and a recount confirmed Stann's amount.
"Bravo, you know you're own stack," tablemate Rachid El Yaacoubi told him.

Bob Bielen kicked off the action with an under the gun raise to 80,000, followed by Iman Ghashayar in middle position, who responded with a three-bet to 240,000. Georg Strebel, down to his last 55,000, decided to shove all in. The action returned to Bielen, who called Ghashayar's three-bet, and the three went to the flop.
The dealer revealed J♠9♠10♥, but both Bielen and Ghashayar opted to check, carrying their cautious play through the K♥ turn as well.
When the 5♥ hit the river, Bielen broke the silence with a bet of 215,000. Ghashayar thought it over for a while but unwillingly folded his A♥Ax, disappointed by the missed opportunity. Bielen then revealed Q♥Q♦, showing a straight, sending Strebel to the rail with his 5x4x.
