The 5♦ completed the board on the river, and Wahl fired 1,700. Wahl's chips had hardly hit the felt when Dardon announced call. Wahl tabled 8♥5♥, making a pair of fives before Dardon showed top pair, tabling J♦10♣.

George Chiriac raised to 1,200 from the hijack before Lauri Saaskilahti three-bet to 3,000 on the button. Chiriac then put in a four-bet to 7,000 and Saaskilahti called.
The flop came 6♣2♦5♠ and Chiriac led out for 4,800. Saaskilahti called to the 2♥ turn, where Chiriac fired out another 12,500.
Saaskilahti spent some time counting out his remaining stack before he called. The river came the J♦ and Chiriac then moved all in.
Saaskilahti snap-called for his last 24,000 and turned over 6♠6♥ for a full house. Chiriac could only show A♥Q♥ for a failed bluff as Saaskilahti earned the massive double up.

Christopher Dowling opened to 1,200 from the cutoff and was called by Antonino Venneri on the button and Nacho Barbero in the big blind.
Action checked to Venneri on the 6♣A♣9♥ flop and he bet 3,000. Barbero then shoved for his last 8,700 and Dowling called cold. Venneri also went all in for around 15,000 and Dowling called having both players covered.
Nacho Barbero: A♦5♠
Antonino Venneri: K♣10♣
Christopher Dowling: A♥K♦
Dowling held the lead with Big Slick and maintained it on the 9♦ turn; however, the 4♣ river gave Venneri a winning flush for the triple up and elimination of Barbero.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♥8♥6♣, and Lee continued for 3,700. Mijic took a few seconds and tossed in a call.
When the 2♦ fell on the turn, both players checked to see the J♦ river. Lee dropped a bet of 15,400 which was almost all of his chips, leaving just 800 behind, Mijic took about 30 seconds before pitching his cards into the muck.

David Baker raised from the hijack to 1,000 and was three-bet to 3,000 by Hala Karam in the cutoff. The player on the button called, as well as Baker.
On the flop 6♠9♥5♣, Baker checked to let Karam bet 4,000. The button folded, but Baker called.
The 8♠ came on the turn, but both players checked. On the river 10♣, Baker chose the biggest sizing possible, as he went all-in for 11,500. Karam went into the tank and took a minute to make a decision.
"Do you show if I fold?" she asked.
"No," answered Baker. Karam eventually folded.
