Omur Pehlivan raised to 11,000 from under the gun, Recep Aydemir called in the hijack and Remi Wyrzykiewicz squeezed to 37,500, from the cutoff. Pehlivan folded and Aydemir called.
The 8♠7♠5♠ flop saw Aydemir play in flow. Wyrzykiewicz continued for 15,500 and Aydemir check-raised, moving all in for 85,500. Wyrzykiewicz snap-called.
Recep Aydemir: 7♣7♦
Remi Wyrzykiewicz: Q♠Q♦

Andreas Holmsten moved all in for 18,000 from early position and was looked up by Hadi Ahangar, on the button.
Andreas Holmsten: Q♠9♠
Hadi Ahangar: A♠A♥
The 3♥K♦6♠ flop had Holmsten drawing to a very slim chance of victory, needing running cards to improve. The Q♦ turn gave Holmsten a glimmer of hope and the unlikely Q♣ river saw him crack aces to stay alive.
