Action was on the flop on a board of 8♥4♦5♣ and Gonzalo Almeida led out for 1,800 from the small blind. Shakhabiddin Muradov called in middle position.
The turn was the 10♥ and Almeida led again for 6,200. Muradov made it 11,500, then Almeida moved all in for 40,000 with the covering stack. Muradov went into the tank for several minutes and looked perplexed as he sat back with a frown on his face. He eventually folded, leaving himself 13,000 behind and Almeida won the pot.

Yngve Steen bet 1,200 from the button on a flop of 7♣10♥4♣ and Omar Hernandez raised to 3,600 in the cutoff. Steen called and the J♣ fell on the turn.
Hernandez then bet 7,200 and Steen again called. The river was the 2♣ and Hernandez moved all in.
Steen snap-called for 13,000 and turned over A♣10♣ for the nut flush as Hernandez's cards quickly found the muck.

On the K♥ river, Iaculli sized up to 3,100. Laurent called and players turned their cards for showdown. Iaculli had 7♣6♣ for a missed draw, while Laurent had K♠10♠ for trip kings to win the pot.

With around 10,000 in the pot on a board of 10♣K♦2♣J♦, Rafael Navas moved all in from middle position against Luca Maerki on the button.
Maerki, with around 20,000 remaining, went deep into the tank. "Ay, ay, ay," he said as he continued to consider the decision for the rest of his stack.
"One more minute," he eventually told his tablemates. Maerki ended up folding and Navas took the pot without a showdown.
At the same time at another table, Stefan Dimitrov and Attila Ivacson had built a pot of nearly 30,000 as they went to the river with the board showing K♦5♥3♠5♦3♣. Ivacson then moved all in from the small blind and Dimitrov snap-called for 20,000 in the cutoff.
Dimitrov turned over 3♦3♥ for quads and Ivacson sent ace-king into the muck.

David Lascar: Q♦8♦ 
Barny Boatman: 10♣10♦

Max Neugebauer bet 1,000 from the button on a flop of K♣5♣4♣ and Antoine Labat called in middle position.
The turn was the 3♣ and Neugebauer bet another 3,000. Labat quickly called to see the Q♠ river, where Neugebauer bet 10,000.
Labat, who was leaning over the table getting a massage, tanked for a few minutes before putting in the chips to call. Neugebauer turned over A♠Q♣ for a flush and Labat mucked.
"I was sure you were bluffing," tablemate Mark Teltscher said to Neugebauer after the hand.

Two players were stacking off preflop with Petr Hruska pushing his stack into the middle from the button for a total of around 30,000. Bracher quickly called with the covering stack in late position and players flipped their cards.
Petr Hruska: A♠Q♦
Franz Bracher: K♥K♣
Hruska needed some help, but found none as the board ran out 5♣4♣8♠2♦2♥. Bracher held with his pocket kings to win the pot, near-doubling his stack and sending Hruska to the rail.
