Michal Szczeblewski raised to 105,000 and Miroslav Salaj on the button three-bet to 250,000 on the button, which the initial raiser called.
On the 10♠9♦3♠ flop, Szczeblewski checked and then faced the double-fisted all-in of Salaj for 270,000.
"Do you like the flop?" Szczeblewski asked, then tossed in a single chip for the call a few seconds later.
Miroslav Salaj: A♠A♣
Michal Szczeblewski: A♥K♦
The 8♥ turn locked up the double for Salaj, making the 6♣ river a formality.

Amiel Gamliel moved all in for 650,000 from the cutoff and Bogdan Roman called in the small blind.
Amiel Gamliel: A♣A♦
Bogdan Roman: A♠K♣
Gamliel had woken up with aces and was poised to double up as the flop came 7♥2♣7♣. The Q♥ turn left Roman drawing dead, while the Q♠ river sealed the pot for Gamliel.
"We stay here!" he shouted out, slamming the table in celebration and raising his arms in the air.

Asish Ghosh made it 105,000 to go from the hijack and Michal Szczeblewski three-bet the button 225,000. After the blinds folded, Ghosh called.
The flop came A♦4♥J♠, where Ghosh check-called a bet of 175,000 from Szczeblewski to the board-pairing J♣ turn, which checked through.
A 2♠ fell on the river and Ghosh took a stab by betting 250,000, but that was met with a prompt raise to 600,000 by Szczeblewski. Ghosh needed just a few seconds before he folded.
Szczeblewski was kind enough to show that he rivered a wheel with 5♠3♠ as he raked in the pot.

From early position, Bogdan Roman raised to 100,000, and Amiel Gamliel shoved for 275,000 out of the small blind. Roman called, and the players went to a showdown.
Amiel Gamliel: A♠A♣
Bogdan Roman: 5♦5♥
Gamliel had found aces at the perfect time and just needed to dodge an unfortunate runout to double up to over ten big blinds.
The dealer produced a board of 7♣Q♥8♥6♠K♠, keeping Gamliel's bullets ahead the whole way, and he earned the much-needed double-up.

Alexander Fetsch raised to 120,000 in the hijack and Paul Covaciu called in the small blind.
Both players checked the J♣8♦K♦ flop. Fetsch then bet 110,000 on the A♣ turn, and Covaciu called.
Fetsch bet another 275,000 on the 6♦ river and Covaciu took nearly two minutes before calling once more. Fetsch then showed A♦10♦ for the nut flush, and Covaciu mucked.

Andrii Kosak: K♠Q♣
Javier Francort: A♣5♠
The 10♣9♦3♣4♥5♦ board offered no help to Kosak, while Francort finished with a pair of fives to secure the pot and send Kosak to the rail.
