Action was on a 2♥2♣8♣3♠ turn and Ertan Ates, who had chipped up already to over 70,000 in chips, checked to Christian Carey who bet 2,700.
Ates called and the river was the J♦. Ates checked again and Carey counted out a sizeable 12,500 bet, more than the size of the pot. Ates quickly folded.
Around 6,000 was in the middle on a board of A♠Q♣7♣10♥, in a hand between Maksym Filipovskyi in early position and Francesco Bozza in the cutoff, with Filipovskyi check-calling a bet of 3,500 from Bozza.
The 5♠ completed the board, and Bozza fired out a bet of 12,000 when given the opportunity. Filipovskyi thought it through for a while before flicking in a calling chip, but was shown the bad news when Bozza tabled Q♦Q♥ for a set of queens.

Rafael Navas raised to 400 over an early position limp, to be met with a three-bet to 1,800 from Richard Birchall in the small blind. The limper got out of the way, and Navas called.
Birchall continued with a bet of 1,100 on the Q♥4♥4♦ flop, and Navas pumped it up to 3,000 in response. After some thought Birchall called.
The 7♠ turn was checked through. The 8♠ river completed the board, and Birchall checked once more. Navas fired out a bet of 6,000, and Birchall took a couple of minutes before folding, seemingly reluctantly.
Armando Scognamiglio and Simon Goldthorpe had each put in 1,900 preflop in a blind versus blind spot.

The 4♠ hit on the turn, and Scognamiglio took the pot with a bet of 4,200.
