The flop came 
, Ambrus bet 70,000, Wilmsmann shoved with the bigger stack and Ambrus snap-called,
Sandor Ambrus: 
Jona Wilmsmann: 
Ambrus had flopped top two pair and Wilmsmann needed a queen to avoid paying Ambrus.
The rest of the board was completed with the 
on the turn and the 
on the river. When the final card was dealt, Ambrus slammed the table and then didn't push the rest of his stack forward so the dealer could count his stack. The rest of the table told Ambrus Wilmsmann had him covered but Ambrus seemed to refuse to believe it. After repeatedly asking him, he finally pushed his stack forward. The dealer counted his stack and determined Ambrus had 140,000 in total which would leave Wilmsmann with 46,000.

"Domanik had opened and Merzhvinskiy had flatted. The flop was 
and Merzhvinskiy called Domanik's bet again. The turn was the and the river was the 
to give Merzhvinskiy a straight with the 
in his hand. Domanik bet 20,000, Merzhvinskiy raised to 120,000 and Domanik called with 
. Domanik had 50,000 left after that but lost it soon after."
