On the three-way turn of , Matthias De Meulder bet 80,000 and was called by Raphael Wieczorek, while Evangelos Bechrakis folded. The river saw De Meulder double his bet sizing of the previous street and Wieczorek tossed in a call rather quickly.
De Meulder showed for a busted straight draw, which Wieczorek had beat with for queens and sixes. Both players remain among the big stacks, and Georgios Zisimopoulos arrived with the words "hey guys" right when the hand ended.

On the three-way flop of , Farid Jattin escalated the action against Jussi Nevanlinna and Bryan Ruiter. Nevanlinna had bet 150,000 and Jattin called before Ruiter check-raised to 450,000. That forced a quick fold from Nevanlinna, but Jattin had other plans and moved all in for two million. Ruiter eventually called and was shown , while tabling his for the overpair.
The turn gave Jattin two pair, but the river restored the preflop and flop order as Ruiter improved to a flush. Jattin was already on his way out, but didn't have Ruiter covered to get called back to the table. It wouldn't take long for Jattin's remaining 450,000 to get in the middle and partypoker ambassador Sam Trickett looked him up.
Farid Jattin:
