Action folded to David Kaufmann who limped in from the small blind. Aleksejs Ponakovs then raised to 210,000 and Kaufmann came back with a reraise to 650,000.
Ponakovs used three time banks before announcing a reraise to 1,090,000. Kaufmann then moved all in for 3,855,000 and Ponakovs called.
David Kaufmann: J♥J♠
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦K♣
The two players were racing with nearly 8,000,000 at stake as the 10♣7♠10♦ flop kept Kaufmann in the lead. The 4♣ turn was safe for Kaufmann, while he secured the double up on the 7♣ river to rocket near the top of the chip counts. Ponakovs, meanwhile, was left on an extreme short stack.

Ponakovs Nearly Qaudruples

David Tous: 8♥8♣
Ponakovs paired up on the 2♣Q♥2♠ flop, and no eights appeared on the 4♠J♥ runout, seeing him end up with almost four times as many chips than he started with

Fireworks Flop Sees Arduini Double
Hans Erlandsson raised to 175,000 from the hijack and Lorenzo Arduini made the call on the button. The blinds got out of the way and a flop of 9♣5♥6♥ was dealt.
Erlandsson continued for 210,000, which Arduini raised to 560,000. Erlandsson then quickly shoved all in, covering Arduini's stack of 2,160,000.
Arduini immediately called and the cards were tabled.
Lorenzo Arduini: K♥K♣
Hans Erlandsson: Q♦9♦
The 10♥ turn saw Erlandsson's outs reduced further as Arduini's overpair turned a flush draw. The 2♣ river did not upgrade Erlandsson's top pair either and he was forced to surrender the majority of his stack to Arduini.
