Action was picked up four ways on the 8♣6♣3♥ flop in a hand between Sigve Tellefsen Enes, Lucas Beisel, Sergio Benzo, and Andrei Epure.
Beisel led out for 2,200 from early position and Benzo raised to 5,700. Epure called from late position before Enes jammed the remainder of his 15,000 stack into the middle. Beisel quickly got out of the way but Benzo re-jammed for 18,600 and Epure sighed as he called it off as the covering stack.
Sigve Tellefsen Enes: K♣J♣ 
Sergio Benzo: Q♦8♦
Andrei Epure: A♣7♣
Benzo was in good shape holding top pair with the others both having flush draws, but he needed to fade three overcards. He did just that as the board ran out 2♠5♠ and Benzo collected a huge pot as Enes hit the exit and Epure was crippled.

The action was caught on a flop of 4♦2♥4♥. Alessandro Benzi was first to act in the big blind and checked his option over to Rafael Gil Civico, who fired out a bet of 10,000. Benzi check-shoved for Civico's remaining chips and Civico snap-called.
Rafael Gil Civico: A♣A♦
Alessandro Benzi: K♠K♣
The 7♣ turn and 6♦ river didn't provide Benzi with the two-outer he needed, which meant the majority of chips were sent over to Civico.

Josep Pastor was all-in preflop with Daniele Taormina making the call to put him at risk.
Josep Pastor: A♠K♥
Daniele Taormina: K♣K♠
The runout of 8♥6♣6♠4♣Q♦ didn't improve Pastor's ace-king, as Taormina's pocket kings would hold up and send Pastor to the rail.

Lavigna Luigi: 4♥4♦
Martin Biegajilo: 8♣8♦
Luigi had the smaller pair and couldn't pull ahead as the board ran out 3♥6♣9♥Q♠K♦ to mark his elimination.

Uri Gilboa had called a three-bet preflop from Michael Wang. With roughly 15,000 in the pot, Wang bet 4,100 on the J♣10♥3♣ flop. Gilboa called.
Both players opted to check the 5♦ turn and 8♦ river. Wang showed A♣K♣ for ace-high which was good as Gilboa tabled AxQx for ace-high with a worse kicker.
