Action was picked up with all in and call announced. Dumitru Pora was at risk in the big blind versus the covering stack of Henri Kasper.
Dumitru Pora: A♠3♠ 
Henri Kasper: 8♦9♦
Both players hit the 3♥7♦6♦ flop. Pora's pair held across the 2♠ but the river 10♦ gave Kasper a straight flush. "Diamonds are my friend" said Kasper as Pora left the table. He apologised to his opponent and gave him a fist bump before he departed.
Axel Hallay moved all in from middle position and was at risk when Michael Gathy made the call.
Axel Hallay: A♠10♠
Michael Gathy: K♣Q♠
Gathy connected with the 8♠8♣Q♣2♥3♠ runout, earning a bounty token while sending Hallay to the rail.
Parker Talbot also had a bounty token next to his stack, having earned recently at the same table.
Hossein Ensan opened to 13,000 from the hijack. Georgi Sandev reraised all in for 53,500. Dominykas Karmazinas quickly moved all in and had both players covered. Ensan made the call.
Hossein Ensan: A♥K♦
Georgi Sandev: A♦10♦
Dominykas Karmazinas: A♣Q♠
"Good start" start Karmazinas said as the Q♣Q♦2♦ flop rolled off. The turn 7♠ left Ensan drawing slim but gave Sandev a flush draw. He hit it on the 4♦ turn to eliminate Hossein and triple up.
Mengshi Tian opened to 8,000 on the button and Nicola Grieco defended his big blind while still stacking chips from the previous hand.
Grieco checked the J♠K♠2♠ flop, calling when Tian continued for 8,000. Both players then checked the Q♥ turn.
The dealer turned over the A♠ river, where Grieco led out for 15,000. Tian did not take long to muck, with Grieco showing the 10♠ while adding even more chips to his stack.
Mallory Frere opened with a raise to 7,500 from the hijack, which was called by Igor Pihela in the cutoff. Bartolomeo Tato then made a three-bet to 23,000, which both players called.
On the 3♣K♠3♠ flop, Tato seized the initiative and bet 30,000. Frere and Pihela both opted to call.
Tato checked when the A♦ turn came, but Frere confidently bet 24,000. Pihela promptly called, as did Tato.
With no further action on the J♠ river, all players checked.
Tato, sitting in the big blind position, needed to reveal his cards first and proudly showed A♥A♣ for an full house. Tato also expressed disappointment that none of his opponents placed a bet on the river. The other players mucked their hands, and Tato scooped the sizable 235,000 pot, much to his delight.

Sonny Franco moved all in from the cutoff and was at risk once Romain Lewis shoved on the button. Andrija Robovic also committed his stack in the big blind, with all three hands turned up.
Sonny Franco: Q♠Q♥
Romain Lewis: A♠K♦
Andrija Robovic: 5♣5♥
The 9♦10♦J♠ flop saw Franco remain ahead, while the K♠ turn saw him improve to a straight. The 8♠ river changed nothing, as Franco tripled up while Lewis claimed the side pot.
After Bartolomeo Tato's opening raise from under the gun, Mallory Frere and Julien Sitbon both called. Frederik Thiemer, seated in the small blind, then went all in with his stack of 96,500 against three opponents. Everyone folded except Frere.
Frederik Thiemer: A♥Q♦
Mallory Frere: Q♣Q♥
Thiemer needed to rely on hitting an ace or a straight, but the 10♦K♥3♠8♣7♥ board didn't bring him any help. Frere added over 100,000 chips to his stack as a result.
