Alessandro Pichierri opened to 6,500 from under the gun and Bing Zhou three-bet to 18,500 on the button. The blinds folded and Pichierri four-bet shoved all in for 46,500. Zhou quickly called and the cards tabled.
Alessandro Pichierri: A♥A♦
Bing Zhou: A♠Q♠
The flop came J♥10♠8♥ which made things sweaty as Zhou picked up a two-way straight draw. However, the 7♣ and 8♦ runout was safe for Pichierri who gained a double-up.

The action folded to Vasileios Panagiotidis in the hijack who just open-shoved all in for 81,500. Tom Orpaz was next to act in the cutoff and asked for a count before making the call. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled.
Vasileios Panagiotidis: A♦J♥
Tom Orpaz: Q♠Q♦
The flop came 10♥9♥2♥ and Panagiotidis held the only flush draw. The 2♠ bricked the turn and the 4♦ was also no help on the river as Orpaz claimed the chips to become the chip leader.

Martin Jacobson opened to 8,000 in early position and was called by Thierry Oldak on the button. The flop fell 9♠9♣3♠ and both players checked to the 4♥ on the turn.
Jacobson fired out a bet of 6,000 and Oldak stuck around for the 6♣ on the river. Jacobson splashed in a bunch of chips and Oldak was put to the test for his last 26,000 chips. Oldak eventually made the call and Jacobson showed K♦10♥. Oldak celebrated as he tabled A♦3♦ to stay alive in the tournament.

The action folded to Fergal Coyle who put his short stack to work by shoving all in for around 50,000 in the hijack. Harry Lodge was in the big blind and wasted no time putting in the chips to call.
Fergal Coyle: K♠K♦
Harry Lodge: A♥K♥
The flop came Q♠2♠2♦ and Coyle was looking promising for a double-up. However, the J♣ on the turn and the 10♦ gave Lodge a straight and Coyle sat for a moment looking stunned before he left the table.

Renat Bohdanov raised to 10,000 from under the gun and action folded all the way around to Yaman Nakdali for a call from the big blind.
The flop was 7♥Q♦J♥ and Nakdali check-called a 8,000 bet from Bohdanov to see J♠ on the turn.
Both players checked the turn and the river was Q♣. Nakdali fired 30,000 but it was too much for Bohdanov and he tossed his hand in the muck.
