On one of the first hands back from break, Wojciech Barzantny jammed from early position for 270,000 and Ferdinando D'Alessio moved in over the top for 1,020,000 out of the cutoff. Michail Manolakis, who was seated in the big blind, took a peek at his cards, then instantly called with the covering stack.
Wojciech Barzantny: 8♠8♣
Ferdinando D'Alessio: A♥10♦
Michail Manolakis: K♠K♣
Manolakis, with cowboys, had the chance to send two players to the rail. However, the 7♠A♠Q♣ flop put D'Alessio in pole position with a pair of aces. D'Alessio improved to two pair on the 10♣ turn while Manolakis picked up a straight draw. The 5♥ completed the board and D'Alessio's two pair won the pot.
Barzantny hit the rail while D'Alessio more than doubled up, and Manolakis was left with around 12 big blinds.

A pot of 565,000 had developed by the river, on a board of Q♦6♥2♥K♣4♦, in a hand between Martin Kabrhel under the gun, and Yuhan Wang on the button.
Kabrhel check-called a bet of 200,000 from Wang, and his K♠8♣ for top pair kings was good versus Wang's A♦6♣ for a pair of sixes.
"Tell this man to stop bluffing me. I don't like it. If you want to bluff, you have to bluff like a man, all the chips," Kabrhel called to the floor.

Michael Adam made it 60,000 from the cutoff and only Daniele Sacchi called on the button.
Adam bet 50,000 when the dealer spread out the 2♣K♣8♥ flop, and was met by a raise to 150,000 from Sacchi. Adam, with a perplexed look on his face, glanced over at Sacchi, who was sitting on his direct left. After a little more time, Adam opted to fold and surrender the pot to Sacchi.
