Ioannis Poullos opened to 215,000 in the cutoff before Jon Vallinas moved all in on the button. Poullos made the call, leaving Vallinas at risk.
Jon Vallinas: 3♠3♣ 
Ioannis Poullos: Q♣Q♦
Vallinas was unable to gain any ground on the 10♣9♦J♥2♥K♦ runout, hitting the rail in 13th place.
Action was picked up with cards on their backs. Mathieu Goncalves was all in and at risk from the big blind versus the covering stack of Ioannis Poullos.
Mathieu Goncalves: A♥10♥
Ioannis Poullos: 6♠6♣
The Q♣Q♠8♠ flop was good for Poullos' pocket pair, and he held through the 5♣ turn and K♠ river to eliminate Goncalves.
With two players seeing a board of A♣J♦10♦ and roughly 600,000 in the middle, Mathieu Goncalves checked from the big blind and Jon Vallinas bet 100,000 from the hijack. Goncalves clicked it back to 200,000 and Vallinas made the call.
Goncalves bet 200,000 on the 2♣ turn and was once again called by Vallinas.
Both players checked the 8♥ river. Goncalves tabled 2♦3♦ for a pair of twos and a missed flush draw while Vallinas showed down Q♣J♣ for a pair of jacks to take the pot while Goncalves was left with just over five big blinds.
Taran Parmar opened to 250,000 from the cutoff and Enis Rouissi shoved for 2,025,000 from the big blind, sending Parmar deep into the tank.
"It it a coin flip or no?" Parmar asked Rouissi. "Don't want to say anything?"
Rouissi remained silent as Parmar continued. "Every single person at this table calls with my hand".
Eventually Parmar folded J♣J♦ face up.
"You should have called" Rouissi told his opponent.
"Of course I should have called" Parmar replied as Rouissi took the pot.
Action folded around to Javier Gomez in the small blind. He moved all in for 2,000,000 and was snap-called by Sonny Franco in the big blind.
Sonny Franco: A♣9♦
Javier Gomez: J♣10♦
Gomez flopped two pair on the J♥10♠7♣ flop leaving Franco drawing slim. He was given some hope on the 9♥ turn, but the 4♥ river sent Franco to the rail.
Nível: 29
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
