Henok Tekle was seen standing up and vacating his seat Table #11, with Roman Gadzhiev scooping in the pot.
The board read J?4?8?K?6? and Tekle's hand was already in the muck as he couldn't beat the 4?4? of Gadzhiev, who had flopped a set.

Peluso elected to pitch his cards into the muck.

With around 9,000 in the middle on a board of 3?5?K?7?, Vidar Oie bet 3,200 from the big blind. Lukas Zaskodny folded in the hijack before Zhendong Li raised to 11,000 from the cutoff. After a bit of tanking, Oie called.
Oie checked the 2? river and Li shoved for Oie's remaining 19,300. Oie didn't take long to make the call and Li turned over 7x4x for just a pair of sevens. Oie showed K?8? for top pair to take down the pot and double up.

After Hassan Nashar went all in and lost to Andrey Daniliuk in the previous hand, he found himself with just 4,100 chips left. In the under-the-gun position, he went all in blind. Daniliuk made the call, but no one else wanted to join the fray.
Daniliuk revealed A?10?, while Nashar hadn’t even looked at his cards yet, turning over A?K?.
The board ran out 5?Q?7?A?J?, and Nashar scored a crucial double-up.
In the next hand, Nashar found himself in the big blind and warned everyone at the table that he’d go all in again. Dmitry Gromov, sitting in the cutoff, boldly raised to 1,500. True to his word, Nashar pushed all his chips in, and Gromov called.
Hassan Nashar: 3?2?
Dmitry Gromov: A?7?
The flop came down 6?3?6?, giving Nashar a pair and putting him ahead.
But the turn brought the 5?, giving Gromov plenty of outs for a flush or a straight. Nashar jokingly asked the dealer, “Give him a four or a heart.”
His wish was partially granted when the river showed the A?, giving Gromov a better pair. With that, Nashar was eliminated and made his way to the registration desk, ready to give it another shot.

With around 11,000 in the middle on a board of 4?10?Q?, Cosmin-Ionut Nica bet 6,000 from the small blind and Juhani Rantala called from middle position.
When the 5? hit the turn, Nica bet 12,000 which was enough to put Rantala all-in. Rantala snap-called.
Juhani Rantala: A?A?
Cosmin-Ionut Nica: 8?7?
Rantala was way ahead with aces but had to avoid Nica's gutshot straight draw. A safe 9? hit the river and Rantala had doubled.

Daniel Montagnolli had his stack of over 30,000 in the middle in a coinflip situation against big-stacked Yoel Selles, and a rollercoaster runout ensued.
Daniel Montagnolli: A?K?
Yoel Selles: Q?Q?
Montagnolli flopped an ace on the 5?A?Q? board, but it also improved Selles to a set. A 5? on the turn did give Montagnolli an outside chance of winning the pot, but it was still Selles who was firmly in the driver's seat. That was until the A? dropped on the river, which gave Montagnolli a full house and earned him a double-up.

Artur Dzemidau opened from the button to 1,500 and Alexandr Khvan called out of the small blind.
Khvan check-called a bet of 1,300 from Dzemidau on the K?9?6? flop.
The Q? turn got checked through and the 3? came on the river. Khvan checked, and faced a bet of 3,000 from Dzemidau. Khvan thought for a while, before reluctantly folding his cards and surrendering the pot to Dzemidau.
