"Yeahhh, that's one for the home team," Haral Tsivicos yelled after he had cracked the aces of James Obst. Tsivicos had flopped a full house with the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} on a board of {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and doubled for another 90,000 on top of a pot of 80,000 in the middle of the table already.

Tobias Ziegler sent Alexey Laptev to the rail after he raised the button for 5,000 and called the three-bet shove by Laptev with the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Laptev had {A-}{Q-} and the board came {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to award the pot to the German.

Last but not least, Matas Cikinas suffered a big set back after losing a flip. On the heads-up turn of {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Richard Pachoca bet 30,500 and Cikinas moved all in with the superior stack. Pachoca eventually called all in for 91,900 with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for the nut flush draw to flip against the Lithuanian's {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and got there thanks to the {A-Clubs} on the river.
