Action folded around to Mikhail Nikolaev who opened from the button to 1,500. Benjamin Spragg, in the big blind, called.
He checked the 4?A?8? flop to Nikolaev, who bet 1,000. Spragg put in the check-raise to 3,700 and Nikolaev made the call.
Spragg then led on the 5? turn for 7,000 before Nikolaev raised to 18,000. Spragg took a moment before announcing all in for around 35,000. Nikolaev made the call but was at risk.
Mikhail Nikolaev: 6?7? 
Benjamin Spragg: A?4?
The 8? river upgraded Spragg's two pair, but it was Nikolaev's straight that was the best. Spragg thought he had been busted from the tournament, but the dealer confirmed he had chips remaining.

Action folded around to Luca Maccatrozzo who opened from the cutoff to 1,500. Philip Ward reraised from the button to 4,000. Sebastian Huber quickly moved all in from the big blind for around 25,000. Maccatrozzo folded and Ward snap-called.
Sebastian Huber: A?J?
Philip Ward: A?K?
"There was some hope," said Huber as the 7?K?J? flop rolled off. Ward made a superior two pair on the A? turn and the 6? river confirmed Huber's exit from the tournament.

Manuel Carvalho open raised from middle position, Nikita Luther called, then Matthew Valeo three-bet from the button. Carvalho and Luther both called.
The flop came 8?3?K?. Action checked to Valeo, who bet 4,500. Carvalho folded and Luther check-raised to 10,500. Valeo then moved all in for around 33,000, which sent Luther deep into the tank.
