Guo Liang Wei opened to 6,000 from middle position and Nikola Marcetic called from the hijack.
Before players checked the K♥K♠Q♦ flop leading to the 7♠ turn. Wei bet 6,000 and Marcetic called.
Wei sized up with a bet of 31,000 on the 5♣ river and was once again called by Marcetic.
Marcetic tabled J♣J♦ for jacks and kings which was good enough to take the pot.

Both players checked the 5♠3♥2♥ flop leading to the 5♦ turn. Ionita bet 17,000 and was called by Tulepbergenov.
Ionita sized up with a bet of 70,000 on the 5♣ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

With two players seeing a board of Q♦Q♥6♥3♣, Ivan Chetin found himself all in for roughly 155,000 and was up against Pavel Ignatov who covered him.
Ivan Chetin: Q♣J♦ 
Pavel Ignatov: K♣Q♠
Both players had flopped trips but Ignatov was ahead with the better kicker. Chetin failed to improve on the 8♣ river and made his exit from the tournament area while Ignatov dragged in a sizable pot.
