Five players saw a flop of K♦A♣6♥ in a single raised pot. All five checked their action, bringing in the 9♥ on the turn. Here, Sebastian Hellmann bet out for 2,000, with only Matheus Grazziotin making the call.
The dealer put out the J♥ river, and Hellmann bet out again, this time for 5,000. Grazziotin wasted no time in raising, as he chose a sizing of 16,000. Hellmann clearly wasn't happy with the situation he'd been put in, but ended up making the call either way. He mucked after Grazziotin showed K♥8♥ for the second nut flush.
Rene Knapp and Ivan Kuziv built a pot of around 7,000 as they went heads-up to the 6♠5♠4♦ flop. Knapp then bet 3,500 from the hijack and Kuziv called in the small blind.
The turn was the K♦ and Knapp moved all in for 27,100. Kuziv spent nearly five minutes in the tank considering the decision, but he eventually folded and Knapp returned his cards face down and raked in the pot.
Bohdan Slyvinskyi bet 800 on the 10♣7♣J♣ flop, which Kevin Williams raised to 2,500. Slyvinskyi called to the 2♥ turn, where he quickly called Williams' next bet of 6,000.
Williams then put in 16,000 on the 8♥ river, and Slyvinskyi check-folded after some moments in the tank.
