Heads-up on a flop of 7♦6♦10♥, Marius Gicovanu bet 18,000 from under the gun and Claudiu Badea came back with a raise to 43,000 in the small blind.
Gicovanu used a time bank before calling to the 4♣ turn, where Badea splashed in his last 138,000. Gicovanu again tanked before calling with Q♦10♦ for top pair.
Badea showed 10♣9♣ for a pair of tens and a worse kicker, and found no help on the 5♦ river as Gicovanu sent him to the rail.
Ladislav Cerveny was all in for 187,000 from the cutoff and up against Razvan Belea in the small blind.
Ladislav Cerveny: A♠Q♠
Razvan Belea: A♥J♥
Cerveny had Belea dominated and was poised for a double up as the board came K♦2♥9♦4♦10♦, securing him the pot and finally putting a small dent in Belea's rapidly rising stack.
Andrei Wauters raised to 16,000 from the hijack and Abel Aspas called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 4♦3♠2♥ flop as Wauters took out his phone and began filming the action. Aspas led out for 13,000 on the 6♠ turn and Wauters quickly called.
The river came the 7♥ and Aspas fired out another 47,000. Wauters again called and Aspas showed K♦5♣ for a straight to win the pot.
Level: 15
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
The remaining 54 players are headed on a 15-minute break.
Three-handed on a flop of 8♣2♥J♣, Razvan Belea bet 15,000 from the button and Maksims Gorbacs called in the big blind, as did Valentin Cristea in early position.
The turn came the 9♣ and action checked to Belea again, who this time fired out 36,000. Only Cristea called to the 4♦ river, where both players checked.
Cristea showed AxKx, but Belea had 9♥8♥ for two pair to win the pot and add to his already massive stack.
Sorin Flutur and Costache Tudorel built a pot of around 170,000 heading to the turn on a board of 10♠3♠8♦J♦. Flutur checked his big blind over to Tudorel, who then announced he was all in from the button.
Flutur, with around 220,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes and used up several time bank chips, rechecking his cards a few times before he mucked as Tudorel scooped the big pot without a showdown.
The player on the button limped in before Sebastian Ionita in the small blind raised to 20,000. Cristian Sergiu Stef then shoved all in for 120,000 in the big blind and the button folded, but Ionita snap-called.
Cristian Sergiu Stef: A♦Q♥
Sebastian Ionita: A♣A♠
Ionita ended up hitting the last ace in the deck on the 2♣10♦4♣A♥10♣ board and filling up on the river, sending Stef to the rail.
Patrick Bueno and Razvan Belea were heads-up on the river with the board showing 10♥7♥J♦3♣6♠ and around 100,000 in the pot when Belea, under the gun, bet 115,000.
Bueno used up several of his time bank chips as he tanked for a few minutes. He eventually picked up a white 5,000 chip and began twirling it between his fingers before slamming it on the table to signify a call.
Belea opened up A♣A♠ and Bueno mucked his cards as Belea became the first player to cross the 1,000,000 chip mark with that pot.
