Rifat Palevic opened to 130,000 from middle position and David Hu called in the big blind.
On the 10♠5♠J♥ flop, Hu checked and Palevic fired 155,000, which Hu called.
When the 4♥ hit the turn, Hu checked it over once again, and after some though, Palevic bet 450,000. This time, Hu relented to the pressure.
Felix Kretschmann opened to 125,000 under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 365,000 from Peter Cieslik in the next seat. Action folded back to Kretschmann, who called.
The flop came 10♦10♥8♠, and Kretschmann checked to his opponent. Cieslik jammed for around 1,300,000, and was snapped by Kretschmann, who covered Cieslik.
Peter Cieslik: A♣K♠ 
Felix Kretschmann: 10♣10♠
Cieslik had jammed into Kretschmann's flopped quads and was drawing dead; the Q♦ turn and 2♦ river completed the runout.
Heads-up on a flop of A♦K♣4♣, Zakaria Nadmi bet 130,000 from under the gun and Zoltan Vrancsik called in the big blind.
Both players checked the Q♣ turn. Vrancsik then led out for 130,000 on the 7♠ river, and Nadmi called.
Vrancsik showed K♠Q♠ for two pair, but Nadmi had A♣K♥ for aces and kings to win the pot.
Heads-up on a flop of 5♥A♥Q♠, Frederic Delval on the button bet 135,000 and Marius Gicovanu in the big blind check-called.
Both players checked the K♦ turn, leading to the 2♠ river that Gicovanu checked. Delval bet 300,000, then Gicovanu immediately check-raised all in for 325,000.
Delval snap-called with 2♦2♣ for a set, but Gicovanu already had the nuts with J♠10♠ for a straight to double up.
Albert Ruppert moved all in for 405,000 on the button and Manig Loeser called in the small blind.
Albert Ruppert: A♠5♣
Manig Loeser: 6♥6♠
The 10♠7♦7♠ flop gave Ruppert outs to counterfeit Loeser's pair, while the turn was the K♦. The Q♦ river failed to improve Ruppert, and Loeser collected the rest of his chips.
Dorian Melchers raised to 120,000 in middle position and Felix Kretschmann three-bet to 305,000 on the button. He hadn't even finished putting in the chips before Juan Velasco shoved for 1,710,000 in the small blind. Melchers folded, but Kretschmann snap-called.
Juan Velasco: Q♦Q♥
Felix Kretschmann: A♥K♥
It was a classic flip with more than 3,500,000 at stake, and Velasco took out his phone to film the action as the flop came 8♣5♦3♠. The 10♣ turn kept him in the lead, while the Q♣ river improved him to a set, and Velasco doubled up.
