Nicolas Chouity opened to 1,400 from early position, and Yulian Bogdanov defended his big blind.
The 7♥6♦4♥ flop was checked through. On the Q♠ turn, Bogdanov led out with a bet of 1,200, and Chouity called.
On the K♣ river, Bogadnov checked to his opponent. Chouity fired out a bet of 4,000, but after some thought, Bodganov produced a check-raise to 29,000, and Chouity quickly sent his cards into the muck.
Nicolas Chouity opened the hijack to 1,400 and Dmitry Zakharov called from the cutoff before Kenny Hallaert three-bet from the big blind to 7,000. Chouity then put in a four-bet to 14,000, which got Zakharov to fold, then Hallaert was left with a decision.
"I'm not folding," said Chouity.
"I know," replied Hallaert, who then shoved for around 25,000 total. Chouity quickly called.
Kenny Hallaert: A♣Q♠ 
Nicolas Chouity: 10♣10♠
It was a classic flip and Hallaert took the lead on the 3♥A♥7♦ flop, as he paired his ace. An 8♦ on the turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 6♥ river, which meant Hallaert doubled up.
Following an early position raise for 1,300, Aylar Lie three-bet to 4,000 from late position, then Ankit Ahuja moved all in from the big blind for 21,100. The original raiser folded and then Lie folded to give Ahuja the pot.
"Ankit, are you joining the show one club?" asked Schneiders.
Ankit shook his head and smiled.
"I knew you wouldn't," said Schneiders.
Around 15,000 was in the middle on a completed board of Q♣4♣Q♠3♦K♦, in a hand between Aliaksei Chernak and Vytautas Semaska.
Chernak moved all in for around 11,000 and received a snap-call from Semaska.
Chernak tabled A♦A♥ for two pair, aces and queens, but it was no good as Semaska turned over A♣Q♥ for the flopped trip queens.
With around 20,000 chips already in the middle on a board of 3♣K♥A♥4♦10♦, Dmitry Zakharov had shoved the river for 18,000, with the action on Roman Gadzhiev. After some time of trying to piece together the puzzle, Gadzhiev put in the call.
Zakharov then showed a set with K♣K♠, and Gadzhiev had to expose his A♣7♣ for a pair of aces.
Mikhail Shalamov raised from late position, Uladzmir Zhyharau three-bet from the button and Shalamov called.
The flop came J♠5♣6♦ and Shalamov checked. Zhyharau bet 2,800 and Shalamov called. The turn was the J♣ and Shalamov checked again. Zhyharau made it 10,200 to go and Shalamov called.
Shalamov checked for a third time on the 7♣ river and Zhyharau opted to move all in for his remaining 17,000. Shalamov wasn't keen and, after a moment of thinking, he folded to give Zhyharau the pot.
Around 20,000 was in the middle already on a completed board of 4♠8♠K♣2♣Q♣, and Vladimir Troyanovskiy checked to his opponent, Oleg Semionov.
Semionov fired out a bet of 30,000, covering the approximately 15,000 stack Troyanovskiy had behind. Troyanovskiy took a good two minutes to think before making the call.
Semionov tabled A♠5♠ having missed his flopped flush draw and turned gutshot, and the pot went to Troyanovskiy after he showed K♠10♥ for top pair kings.
Ivan Kuziv was short-stacked with around 10,000 chips to his name but earned himself a double-up thanks to the river card.
Kuziv had gotten his stack in from the small blind, and been put at risk by Hadi Khordbin in the big blind.
Ivan Kuziv: A♥3♥
Hadi Khordbin: A♦7♠
The flop came A♣8♠Q♣, which paired both players, and the 9♣ river meant the two looked destined to chop up the pot. However, the 3♦ on the river gave Kuziv two pair, and earned him a much-needed double-up to around 20,000.
Peter Tschernigg opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet from Jiaming Zhao in the cutoff to 3,000, which Tschernigg called.
The flop came 3♦A♠10♥, and Tschernigg check-called Zhao’s 2,500 continuation bet.
Both players decided to check the 2♥ turn.
When the J♠ hit the river, Tschernigg led for 4,300. Zhao wasn’t backing down, firing back with a raise to 12,500. Tschernigg took his time, weighing his options before making the call, only to see Zhao reveal J♣J♥ for a set of jacks, sending Tschernigg’s hand straight to the muck.
Georgios Vrakas opened to 1,500 under the gun, and received a call from Lev Margolin in the cutoff, before Atanas Malinov produced a three-bet to 5,500 from the big blind. Vrakas called and Margolin folded.
On the 8♦7♣2♣ flop, Malinov continued with a bet of 3,000, which failed to shake Vrakas off.
The 4♠ rolled off on the turn, and Malinov moved all in for around 17,000, forcing a quick fold from Vrakas.
