Heads-up on a flop of 10♣9♠J♦, Joe Mouawad bet 9,000 from the button before Nicholas Newport raised to 25,000 in the big blind. Mouawad then moved all in and Newport called for his last 85,000.
Nicholas Newport: 10♥10♦
Joe Mouawad: K♥Q♣
Newport had flopped a set, but Mouawad showed the nut straight as Newport needed the board to pair to stay alive. The board ran out 6♦A♥ and Mouawad took the pot to send Newport to the rail.
Kemal Aydogdu opened to 4,000 from middle position and called when Oleg Ustinovich slid out a three-bet of 15,000 from the big blind.
The flop of3♠4♦6♠ saw Ustinovich waste little time in continuing by leading out with a bet of 10,000. Aydogdu took some time but ultimately made the fold.
Huseyin Akgul opened to 4,000 from under the gun before Alexandru Papazian three-bet from the button. Orhan Ates then made it 36,000 from the small blind, forcing out Akgul. Papazian then jammed for around 100,000 and Ates called after some thinking time as the slightly bigger stack.
Alexandru Papazian: K♠K♦
Orhan Ates: A♠K♥
Papazian was the favorite to double up after the 4♥3♠4♦ flop and 4♣ turn. However, an A♣ river gave Ates a pair of aces for the winner.
At one table, Andrey Kotelnikov jammed his final 20,000 chips in from early position and Marius Iftimia then rejammed from the next seat over, causing the rest of the table to fold.
Andrey Kotelnikov: A♥A♦
Marius Iftimia: K♥K♣
The ultimate cooler would remain just that when no kings appeared on the 2♣10♣8♦5♠9♣ board and Kotelnikov doubled up to a more healthy stack.
On an adjacent table, Ilia Pavlov raised to 4,000 from the button and Masato Yokosawa called with a short stack from the big blind. On the flop of 6♦10♣3♣, the rest of Yokosawa's chips went in the middle and Pavlov looked him up.
Masato Yokosawa: 5♠4♣
Ilia Pavlov: 10♠8♠
Yokosawa's straight draw came in on the 6♠7♠ runout, but the two spades meant that Pavlov had hit a backdoor flush to scoop to the pot anyway. The Japanese regular exited the tournament room while Pavlov added some more chips to his ever-growing stack.
Heads-up on a flop of 10♥4♣3♣, Simon Wiciak bet 5,000 from early position before Jon Vallinas raised to 16,000 in the big blind.
Wiciak called as the 8♠ fell on the turn. Vallinas then checked and Wiciak tossed out another blue 5,000 chip.
Vallinas took a moment before calling to the 7♠ river, where it was his turn to bet 5,000. Wiciak quickly folded and Vallinas took the pot.
Jose Jimenez and Luis Rayon are also at this table, both with stacks of around 300,000.
Mark Buckley opened to 4,000 from under the gun and was called by Kayhan Mokri from the cutoff. Silvio Domingues Costa moved all in for 37,000 from the button, prompting Buckley to rejam. Mokri folded.
Silvio Domingues Costa: 7♠7♦
Mark Buckley: A♠10♠
The A♣5♠3♠ flop put Buckley ahead and he improved to a flush on the 5♦8♠ runout.
Mokri then told Buckley he would've been stacked if he decided to call as he said he folded pocket fives, which would have given him quads.
Kayhan Mokri raised to 4,500 from under the gun and was called by Mark Buckley on the button. Lukas Robinson got out of the way in the small blind before Antoine Saout tossed in a call from the big blind.
Saout checked the 5♠8♦5♣ flop before Mokri continued for 4,000. Buckley made the call and the two were heads up to the 2♠ turn.
Mokri continued to lead, firing a bet of 14,500. Buckley surrendered his hand, as the pot slid to Mokri's stack.
