Stanislav Koleno opened 3♠3♥ from the hijack to 500,000 and Christophe Vincent called in the small blind holding 8♥7♣.
Koleno flopped a set on 3♦K♦2♠ and took it down with a bet of 300,000 after Vincent checked.
Roman Isaienko then looked down at K♦K♣ in the cutoff and raised to 500,000. Daniel Elhaiany defended with 7♦5♥ in the big blind.
Elhaiany flopped an open-ender on the 4♦4♥6♠ board and checked it over to Isaienko, who bet 325,000. Elhaiany just called to the A♥ turn, where he checked and Isaienko bet 750,000. Elhaiany called again.
When the 6♦ hit the river, Elhaiany led for 2,600,000 as a bluff, and Isaienko folded his kings.

Vlastimil Pustina came in with a raise to 500,000 under the gun before Roberto Manfredi jammed from middle position for 2,250,000. Salih Atac cold-called from the hijack, which forced the rest of the table, including Pustina, to fold.
Roberto Manfredi: A♦K♠
Salih Atac: A♥J♥
Manfredi was ahead with big slick, but anything could happen with five cards to come.
Atac took the lead on the 2♣J♣3♥ flop by spiking a pair of jacks. The 10♣ turn offered Manfredi a straight draw, and he managed to hit his straight in the form of the Q♣ river, keeping him alive in the tournament.

Yuhan Wang opened to 500,000 from under the gun and he was called by Gal Naim and Calin Ciolte, both in the blinds.
All three of them quickly checked a flop of 4♠5♥A♦ leading to the 10♣ turn where Naim bet 650,000. Ciolte folded, but Wang made the call.
"How much 500,000 pink chips you have?" Naim asked on the 8♥ river. "Three," Wang answered, but this discussion didn't change the outcome of the hand as both players checked.
Naim flipped over A♠J♦ for top pair and Wang's cards went into the muck.
