Action folded to Claudio Di Giacomo in the small blind who raised to 36,000. Alexander Lanner called in the big blind and they went heads-up to the K♣6♥5♦ flop.
Di Giacomo continued for 75,000 and Lanner moved all in for 130,000. Di Giacomo snap-called.
Alexander Lanner: A♣K♦8♣4♦
Claudio Di Giacomo: K♥J♣10♠2♦
Both players had top pair, but Lanner was ahead with his king-kicker until the J♥ fell on the turn to give Di Giacomo two pair. The river was the 10♥ and Lanner was sent to the rail.
Volodymyr Kokoulin opened to 24,000 from middle position and got a call from Elad Shaar in the hijack. William Trumm also called from the button and Alfredo Vega Meister came along from the big blind.
On the 10♥7♣4♦ flop, it checked to Kokoulin, who fired 65,000. Only Shaar called.
A 3♣ dropped on the turn and Kokoulin slid a stack of grey chips, with 25,000 each, over the line. Shaar had around 220,000 behind and after thinking for some time, he laid it down.
Israel Bulut bet 100,000 from the big blind on a flop of 10♦9♣7♣ before Gheorghe Butuc raised to 350,000 under the gun. Roman Krahula folded on the button, while Bulut called off his last 30,000.
Israel Bulut: A♣5♦3♠3♣
Gheorghe Butuc: K♦Q♠J♠8♦

In a four-way limped pot, the flop came 8♣7♥8♥ where Stefan Kostner checked from the small blind and Martin Bartos bet 20,000 from the big blind. Ivan Nikolov folded, Sebastian Langrock called, then Kostner made it 80,000. Bartos then potted it, Langrock folded, Kostner shoved, and Bartos called.
Stefan Kostner: K♣Q♣Q♦8♠
Martin Bartos: A♦K♠9♥8♦
Kostner was at risk and behind as his trip eights were outkicked by Bartos. A 7♠ on the turn changed nothing but the 7♣ river improved Kostner to a full house and saw him snatch the pot away at the last possible moment.
Presiyan Tsvetanov raised to 20,000 on the button, Thi Pham three-bet to 60,000 in the small blind, and Tsvetanov moved all in. Pham called for her last 120,000.
Thi Pham: K♦J♣J♦J♠

Pavel Izotov: A♦A♥K♦4♠
Klintmalm was at risk against Izotov's aces until the flop brought Q♠J♥9♠, giving him two pair. The rest of the board came 5♥4♣ and Klintmalm doubled up.
Marek Rous was walking away from the table and all his chips were being pushed in Gediminas Grigas' direction.
The action was unknown but on a board of 7♥10♥A♠7♣7♦ with all the chips already in the middle, Rous showed a full house with A♦K♥K♠4♦ but was way behind the quads of Grigas who tabled J♦10♠9♦7♠.
Dwayne Sluis limped in from middle position before Patrick Bueno raised to 45,000 in the hijack. Florian Surkamp called in the big blind, while Sluis also came along to see the Q♠5♠3♠ flop.
All three players checked and the turn was the 4♠. Bueno then bet 40,000 and only Surkamp called.
The river was the 8♣ and Bueno bet 120,000. Surkamp asked the dealer to spread the pot as he pondered the decision for a few minutes, eventually releasing his hand. Bueno showed A♠K♠K♥ as he took the pot.
"You were afraid of the straight flush, huh," tablemate Dario Alioto said to him after the hand.
At another table, Gediminas Grigas finally got the good hand he was looking for, picking up A♦A♥Q♥5♦ as he was all in for 121,000 against Marek Rous. The board ran out Q♦5♥6♠4♣10♠ to give Grigas two pair as Rous tossed two kings into the muck.
"Chip and a chair," a tablemate said to Grigas who doubled up after being knocked down to just 30,000 right before dinner.
