Luigi D'Alterio raised from late position and Nemanja Lukovic called in the big blind.
The flop came 8♥K♠7♣. Lukovic checked, D'Alterio fired out a bet, and Lukovic called. The turn was the 8♣ and Lukovic switched to a lead for 12,000, which Lukovic called.
The river came the 9♦. Lukovic used two time bank cards before deciding to push all in for around 90,000. D'Alterio folded and Lukovic scooped the pot.
Johan Storaakers was already all-in preflop and at risk for a bit over 60,000 from middle position against Wooseok Kim, who was in early position.
Johan Storaakers: 7♣7♥
Wooseok Kim: A♣K♥
It was a race, but the 4♥10♥5♥6♦3♦ runout kept Storaakers ahead with his pair and he doubled his stack.
Everybody folded to Adrien Guyon, who opened to 10,000 from the button. However, Maksim Shornikau chose to three-bet to 42,000 from the small blind. Niall Farrell in the big blind didn't wait to fold.
Action back to him, Guyon announced "100,000" as a four-bet. Shornikau waited a few seconds, but eventually folded.
Guyon then looked at his cards and showed the 2♥. A card which made a few players around the table smile.
Heads-up on a flop of 3♦5♣9♣, Joao Mestre bet 22,000 from the cutoff before Cheng Zhao raised to 55,000 in middle position.
Mestre called and the J♦ fell on the turn. Zhao then checked and Mestre used a time bank before betting 65,000. Zhao also burned a time bank as he called.
The river was the 4♦ and Zhao checked again. Mestre tanked again before checking back and Zhao turned over Q♥Q♣ to win the pot.
[Removed:544] raised from middle position, Francis Beauregard moved all in for 60,000 from the big blind and [Removed:545] called with the bigger stack.
Francis Beauregard: 7♥7♠
[Removed:544]: K♥Q♥
The board ran out 6♣4♦5♣7♦8♥. Beauregard picked up a set on the turn, but the river put a straight on the board, so players chopped the pot.
"I'm not dead," shrugged Beauregard.
Moments after losing a big pot against Padraig O'Neill, Govert Metaal was back in the action once again. The action was joined with the Dutch all in from the small blind, with Davis Mihelsons his only caller from the cutoff.
Govert Metaal: A♥10♠
Davis Mihelsons: A♣9♦
A flop of K♥Q♠2♥ seemed relatively safe for Metaal.
The 7♣ on the turn kept him ahead and in prime position to double.
It was confirmed on the 10♣ river, with Metaal scooping an important pot and Mihelsons left with well below average stack.
Niklas Astedt was all in for his last 40,000 and up against Nemanja Lukovic.
Niklas Astedt: A♥J♥
Nemanja Lukovic: K♠K♥
Astedt had run into kings as the flop came 3♥4♠5♦, giving him a straight draw. The 2♥ completed his straight, while the 5♥ river improved him to a flush as Astedt doubled up.
Anton Siden and Adrien Guyon were heads up on a 7♦8♣9♣ flop. Siden bet 7,000 from the small blind and Guyon raised to 20,000 from the big blind. Siden called.
Both players checked on the 10♥ turn and Siden checked once more on the A♣ river. Guyon bet 33,000 and Siden called after a bit of thought.
Guyon turned over J♣6♣ for a flush and Siden mucked — sending the pot Guyon's way.
After Padraig O'Neill opened to 10,000 from under the gun, Govert Metaal to his left called, as well as Davis Mihelsons in the big blind.
All three of them checked on the 5♥2♠K♥ flop. But on the turn 9♠, O'Neill led for 15,000. Metaal called, while Mihelsons check-folded.
The A♦ came on the river, and O'Neill fired a second barrel of 70,000. Metaal went into the tank, and eventually called. But he mucked his cards when O'Neill turned over 5♣5♠ for a set.
Boris Pesic opened to 11,000 from middle position and found one caller in Joao Mestre in the big blind.
Mestre proceeded to check-call bets from Pesic on every street. First for 16,000 on the K♣10♠3♦ flop, then for another 16,000 on the 4♦ turn, and finally for 33,000 on the 8♣ river.
Pesic tabled 10♦7♦ for a pair of tens, but they were no good against the K♦6♠ of Mestre for a pair of kings.
