Hwany Lee: A♥Q♦
Ankit Ahuja: Q♣5♣

From early position, Ali Al-Kubasi opened to 125,000, then Florian Guimond in the big blind three-bet all in for 930,000. Al-Kubasi asked for the count, but folded.
On the next hand, Al-Kubasi under the gun raised again to 125,000. This time, Michel Atallah on the button moved all in for 1,210,000, and Al-Kubasi called.
Michel Atallah: A♦Q♠
Ali Al-Kubasi: K♠J♦
It was an easy win for Atallah, who hit trips on 7♣5♣A♠A♣2♦ to double up.

Ali Al-Kubasi raised to 125,000 on the button before Ramon Kropmanns three-bet to 485,000 in the small blind.
Al-Kubasi called to the 7♣Q♠3♣ flop, where Kropmanns led out for 275,000. Al-Kubasi instantly put in a raise to 600,000 and Kropmanns called.
The turn came the 8♣ and Kropmanns checked to Al-Kubasi who bet 700,000. Kropmanns tanked for a minute before calling as the 3♦ fell on the river.
Kropmanns checked again and Al-Kubasi paused for a moment before checking back. Kropmanns then turned over Q♥Q♦ for a full house and Al-Kubasi could only laugh before mucking.

In a blind versus blind situation, Andreas Tomazou opened from the small blind to 150,000, and the chip leader Ankit Ahuja called from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♥2♠6♣, and Tomazou made a quick continuation-bet to 150,000 that Ahuja called.
On the turn 10♠, Tomazou fired a second barrel of 200,000. But Ahuja raised to 500,000. Anyway, Tomato snap-called, then checked on the turn 8♠ with A♦5♠. Ahuja called with A♠J♣, and extends his lead.

Andrei Teodorescu raised to 120,000 in early position before Marcin Dziubdziela moved all in for 670,000 in the cutoff. Teodorescu asked for a count and tanked for a minute before calling.
Marcin Dziubdziela: Q♦Q♣
Andrei Teodorescu: K♦J♥
Dziubdziela was poised for a double up as the board came 8♥6♦A♠7♥, but the river was the K♠ and Teodorescu hit his king to win the pot and send Dziubdziela to the exit.
Alexander Shelukhin was also eliminated at another table.
