Catching the tail end of a pot between Vitali Filonov and Kimmo Kurko, Filonov checked the 4♦10♣J♣3♠4♠ board over to Kurko. Kurko then bet 15,000 into the pot of 35,000, quickly being looked up by Filonov.
Kurko revealed A♥A♦ for the preflop nuts, while Filonov had called him down with A♠J♠ for top pair. Kurko ascended to two starting stacks by raking in the pots, while Filonov was left with just over 12 big blinds.

Stanislav Smeljov made it 1,000 to go in the cutoff. Romans Lihacovs responded with a three-bet to 4,500 in the big blind, and Smeljov called to the 5♠4♥7♥ flop.
The duo both checked, and Lihacovs checked again on the 10♠ turn. Smeljov fired a bet of 5,500, which Lihacovs called after some thought.
The 4♣ was subsequently checked to showdown again, where Smeljov's 8♠8♦ won the pot against Lihacovs' A♥Q♥.
Liutauras Armanavicius squeezed in a three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind, and Peeter Talviste back-jammed all in for 11,400 on the button. Armanavicius quickly called.
Peeter Talviste: 5♠5♣ 
Liutauras Armanavicius: A♠J♠
Armanavicius paired his jack on the Q♠4♣J♥ flop, and Talviste was eliminated when the 8♣ turn and 8♦ river did not present him with a five.
