Kursad Bayrakci made it 1,200 to go from middle position and Gerard Rubiralta called in the hijack. Roman Shcherbakov, who just reentered, also came along from the button.
The three went of a flop of J♠4♦A♦ where Bayrakci checked, Rubiralta bet 1,500, Shcherbakov called, and Bayrakci folded.
When the 7♣ hit the turn, Rubiralta checked it over to Shcherbakov, who fired 3,500. Rubiralta thought for a few moments then put in a raise to 13,500, which got a quick fold out of Shcherbakov.

Ray Qartomy found himself in the under-the-gun position and decided to limp in. Nikolai Mamut called, and Georgios Skarparis checked his big blind.
When the flop came down J♠8♥6♦, the action was checked around to Qartomy, who tossed out a bet of 1,000. Mamut responded with a raise to 3,300, and Qartomy was the only one to call.
Mamut kept the pressure on with a bet of 7,400 on the 3♦ turn, and Qartomy called again.
As the 2♠ hit the river, Mamut fired another 7,300. Qartomy took a moment to weigh his options but ultimately decided to fold, mucking his cards as he let the hand go.

With around 8,000 in the pot on a board of 8♣10♠8♦, Haidar Sleiman checked and Lars Kamphues fired 2,000. Sleiman called.
A 7♠ dropped on the turn and after Sleiman checked, Kamphues shoved for just 9,400.
"Is there reentry?" said Sleiman. The dealer confirmed there was, then Sleiman called.
Lars Kamphues: K♥K♣ 
Haidar Sleiman: 7♣6♣
"Give me a nine," said Sleiman. Unfortunately for Sleiman, the 4♦ didn't help, and Kamphues took down the pot.
