With two players seeing a board of 4♣Q♦5♠8♣ and around 80,000 in the middle, Jingwei Chen, who had started the hand with around 35,000, was all in and up against Or Nezer who held a covering stack.
Jingwei Chen: K♠K♣
Or Nezer: 4♠4♥
Nezer had flopped a set leaving Chen drawing to just two outs. He could not catch a king on the 2♥ river and was sent to the rail while Nezer dragged in a sizable pot.
Minseok Kim kicked off the action with a raise to 2,200 from the hijack, and Mariusz Golinski, sitting right next to him, shoved all in. Everyone folded back to Kim, who made the call.
Minseok Kim: A♥J♥
Mariusz Golinski: A♦2♦
Kim was comfortably ahead, and the J♦7♥K♠9♥7♣ board didn’t change that, securing Kim the win. Golinski, thinking he was out, was halfway out of his chair and ready to re-buy when Kim reminded him that he still had some chips left. Sure enough, Golinski had 600 remaining and stayed in the game.
In the very next hand, Golinski, down to his last 600, went all-in blind. Waldemar Tabert raised to 2,200 and got two callers. Natale Allegra, in the big blind, decided to shove as well, and everyone folded, giving Allegra the side pot before the showdown.
Mariusz Golinski: 8♣4♥
Natale Allegra: A♥5♣
Golinski once again needed a lot of help from the board, but luck wasn’t on his side. The board ran out K♠A♣10♦4♦K♥, and Golinski was eliminated, handing his bounty to Allegra, who was thrilled with the result.
Both players checked the K♦4♦6♣ flop to see the A♣ come on the turn. Pichierri check-called a bet of 2,000 from Gleissner.
The 7♣ river got checked through and Pichierri turned over K♠J♠ for a pair of kings on the flop, but this was second best to the A♦10♠ of Gleissner for a pair of aces.
With two players seeing a board of 8♦3♠6♥ and around 6,000 in the middle, Jessica Teusl checked from the big blind and Yehor Shumeiko bet 1,800 from under the gun. Teusl made the call.
Both players checked the 5♦ turn leading to the 8♥ river. Teusl moved all in, covering Shumeiko who had around 30,000 behind. Shumeiko opted to fold and Teusl took down a nice pot without showdown.
With two players seeing a board of 7♥9♦7♠K♥ and 6,700 in the middle, Alexander Sokolovsky bet 7,000 from under the gun and was called by Andrej Desset on the button.
Sokolovskhy checked the 6♥ river and Desset moved all in for just over 20,000. Sokolovsky opted to fold and Desset took the pot without showdown.
After Paul Runcan raised under the gun to 2,000 and two players in middle position had called. Simon Wilson shoved from the small blind for 28,000. Runcan shoved over the top for 58,000 and the other players folded.
Simon Wilson: K♣Q♠
Paul Runcan: 8♦8♣
Runcan needed to win this flip if he was to claim Wilson's bounty. The flop of J♠5♠10♣ offered up a straight draw to Wilson, the 10♦ turn game Wilson even more outs to win. He hit one of those outs on the 9♦ river, improving to a straight and doubling up through Runcan.
Carlo Savinelli kicked things off with a raise to 1,600 from under the gun. Stefan Ionita, sitting in the cutoff, responded with a three-bet to 4,500, and Savinelli called.
After the flop came 4♣9♣J♥, Savinelli checked, and Ionita led out with a bet of 3,000. Savinelli made the call.
Both players checked when the 2♦ hit the turn.
On the river, the 10♣ came down, and Savinelli took the lead again with a bet of 800. Ionita quickly called, and Savinelli revealed K♠9♠ for a pair of nines, which turned out to be enough for Ionita.
