PokerNews joined the action with the board showing 8♦10♦7♠. Aleksandr Chernikov checked first, and Vladimir Litasov seized the moment, betting 3,000 into an already decent pot. Chernikov quickly responded, raising to 11,000 without a second thought. Litasov shot back with an all-in, and Chernikov called right away, taking the hand to showdown.
Chernikov revealed 9♠5♠ for a double gutshot straight draw, while Litasov turned over A♣10♣ for a pair of tens.
The Q♥ on the turn and the 8♠ on the river didn’t complete Chernikov’s hoped-for straight, sending him to the rail as Litasov scooped up a sizable pot.

Pingfeng Wu opened the action with a raise to 700 from under the gun, picking up three callers along the way.
The 2♣7♥5♥ flop didn’t spark much excitement, as all four players opted to check.
When the K♥ hit the turn, Wu fired a bet of 1,600, which got called by everyone except Robert Kaggerud in the big blind, who bowed out.
The river brought the 10♣, and once again, the table checked around. Andrew Jones, sitting on the button, revealed K♠Q♣ for a pair of kings, which was enough to take down the pot.

Konstantin Voronin kicked off the hand with a raise from early position, only to face a three-bet from Benjamin Lebor, who made it 1,300 from the button. Hamza Nasir, in the small blind, wasn’t backing down and four-bet to 5,500. Voronin called, but Lebor decided there were too many players in the pot and shoved all in. Nasir followed suit, also going all in, which made Voronin fold, sending the hand to a showdown.
Benjamin Lebor: 8♥8♦
Hamza Nasir: A♦K♥
When Lebor saw the cards, he muttered, "Oh, never lucky," and stood up, even though he was still ahead.
The flop came K♠6♥3♠, giving Nasir top pair with kings. "See, never lucky," Lebor quipped, already half out the door. The A♣ on the turn and the 10♠ on the river sealed it for Nasir, sending Lebor to the rail.

With around 4,000 already in the pot and the flop showing Q♦A♦6♠, Pablo Silva checked as first to act. Sensing an opportunity, Julien Sitbon bet 800, but Silva wasn’t backing down and raised it to 2,600, which Sitbon called.
The 7♣ landed on the turn, and Silva fired a bet of 5,500. Sitbon stuck around with another call.
Silva checked when the 4♦ hit the river, leaving the door open for Sitbon to shove all-in for about 18,600. Silva thought it over but eventually folded, giving Sitbon the pot.

The pot was sitting at around 1,200 when the flop came down 4♦6♠5♥. First to act, Pingfeng Wu bet 500, only for Georgy Komarov to raise it up to 1,500. Wu responded with a three-bet to 2,500, and Komarov made the call.
The 2♥ turn saw Wu fire a hefty 7,500 into the pot. Komarov quickly shoved all-in, and Wu snap-called.
Wu showed 4♣4♥ for a set of fours, but Komarov revealed 8♠7♣ for a flopped straight. The A♣ on the river didn’t change anything, leaving Wu with just 100 chips.
On the very next hand, Wu was all-in from the small blind by default. Pavel Popov raised to 500 from the button, but nobody else joined the action, so it went straight to a showdown.
Pingfeng Wu: Q♠3♥
Pavel Popov: K♠5♠
The flop brought Popov a pair of kings, sealing Wu's elimination from the tournament.
