Henrik Brockmann was all-in with a severe short stack and revealed the mighty 2♥2♦. He was well covered by Leonard Maue in the small blind, who turned over A♦K♠.
The lowest of pocket pairs came out on top thanks to the Q♥Q♦6♠Q♣4♠ board for Brockmann to survive.
Maria Lampropulos opened to 7,000 from the small blind and Ali Shahni defended his big blind.
On the J♥J♠5♣ flop, Lampropulos check-raised to 14,000 after Shahni bet 5,500. The latter called. Shahni then folded to a bet of 18,000 on the Q♠ turn.
Renat Bohdanov raised to 4,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Timothy Adams in the big blind. Adams then put in a three-bet to 20,200 and Bohdanov made the call.
The 9♣Q♣7♦ flop was then checked by Adams, after which Bohdanov retook the initiative by betting 8,500. Adams still stuck around with a call before both players checked the 2♥ turn.
Adams put in his first postflop bet on the 8♠ river, of 22,000 chips. Bohdanov thought it over for a while before reluctantly putting in a call.
Adams showed Q♠Q♦ for top set and Bohdanov flashed his A♥A♦, indicating that he was considering folding his rockets on the river.
Three-handed on a flop of 4♦5♦2♣, Rene Majed bet 5,000 from early position and was called by Finn Zwad in middle position, while big blind Andras Balogh also came along.
The turn was the K♥ and Majed continued for 10,000. Zwad folded this time, but Balogh came back with an all-in shove. Majed only had around 12,500 remaining and tanked for a minute before taking out his phone and reluctantly calling as he began filming the action.
He showed 8♠8♦, but Balogh had K♦10♦ for top pair. The K♠ river improved Balogh to trips and sent Majed to the rail.
Jessica Teusl in the cutoff clashed with fellow short stack Csaba Takacs, who was all-in from the button for 16,800.
Csaba Takacs: 4♥4♠
Jessica Teusl: A♥3♥
The suited ace only hit the kicker on the K♦10♥3♣10♦6♣ board and Teusl dropped further into the danger zone.
The turn showed A♥6♣5♥2♦ and Anson Tsang checked for Agostino Scozzari to bet 11,000 with around 90,000 behind. Tsang then pushed all-in and Scozzari reluctantly folded, flashing his cards quite high that some of the players on his side of the table might have seen it.
Stefan Fabian inquired about that and Scozzari replied "I had pocket queens".
The action was on Mahsum Aslan when he had squeezed to 58,500 in the hijack already, as Felipe Ketzer moved all-in with the covering stack behind. That sent Aslan deep in the tank and he eventually folded.
Before raking in the pot, Ketzer flashed the 4♣.
Hendrik Scherf raised from under the gun before Miklos Zsuffa put out a three-bet to 12,000, which Scherf called. The 9♦K♣7♦ flop was then checked by Scherf and Zsuffa continued for 8,500 chips. Scherf called and both players checked the subsequent 8♠ turn.
The J♠ river was then checked as well by Scherf, but Zsuffa made a bet of 20,000 chips. Scherf called quickly but reluctantly, and Scherf showed 10♠10♥ for the rivered straight.
Scherf tabled 9♠9♥ for a flopped set, and shook his head as he paid his dues.
Sascha Neunaber was in middle position and bet 7,500 on a flop of J♠4♣4♠. Ermanno Di Nicola called in the cutoff, as did big blind Abdelhakim Zoufri.
The turn came the 9♣ and Neunaber bet another 17,500. Only Zoufri called this time as Di Nicola got out of the way. The 5♥ then fell on the river.
Zoufri led out for 27,500 and Neunaber quickly called. Zoufri instantly mucked his cards, allowing Neunaber to take the pot without a showdown.
