Ali Emre Ozcan pushed in his final 72,000 under the gun and was called by Georgios Tsouloftas in middle position.
Ali Emre Ozcan: J♥J♠
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♣10♣
The 4♠J♣5♣ flop gave Ozcan top set but he had to contend with Tsouloftas' flush draw. The 5♥ turn gave him a full house, however, locking up the pot.
The 9♠ river was dealt as a formality as Ozcan doubled up to 20 big blinds.

Neel Murthy made it 16,000 on the button and Emad Ghadamian shoved from the small blind for 132,000. Once it got back to Murthy, he flicked in the call.
Emad Ghadamian: A♣Q♠
Neel Murthy: 4♥4♦
It was a fair fight that looked to be going Murthy's way on the 2♦9♠6♦ flop as his pocket fours maintained their lead. A 2♣ on the river brought Ghadamian one step closer to elimination, but the A♠ on the river kept him alive as he paired his ace.
"That was a close one," said Ghadamian as he raked in the pot.

No help arrived for Peeks as the K♦Q♦8♣2♥2♠ runout sent him to the rail.

Fadil Isufi opened to 20,000 from the cutoff, and received calls from Marle Spragg and Alessandro Siena in the blinds.
Action was checked to Isufi on the 10♦8♦7♥ flop, who fired out a bet of 45,000, which only Spragg called.
The A♣ turn slowed matters down and was checked through.
On the K♠ river, Spragg checked, and Isufi fired out a bet of 115,000, leading to a quick fold from Spragg.
Despite having to concede this hand, Spragg has had a great start to Day 2, moving towards a million from her 217,000 starting stack.

Andre Marquardt limped in for 8,000 from under the gun. Alik Zazian moved all in for 80,000 from middle position. Nikita Voznesenskiy called on the button.
Whilst Frank Reichel was contemplating his decision, Marquardt announced all in. He quickly realized he acted out of turn and apologised to Reichel and Voznesenskiy. Both Voznesenskiy and Reichel folded.
Alik Zazian: A♦4♦
Andre Marquardt: A♥K♣
Marquardt's Big Slick held across the 3♣8♥10♥6♥7♠ runout to secure Zazian's stack.

Aleksandr Razinkov had raised to 16,000 in early position when Uladzimir Zhyharau three-bet to 58,000 on the button. The action folded back to Razinkov, who four-bet jammed, covering Zhyharau's stack of 510,000.
Zhyharau spent some minutes in the tank before sighing and slamming in a stack of chips for a call.
Uladzimir Zhyharau: A♠K♣
Aleksandr Razinkov: K♠K♥
Either Razinkov or Zhyharau would end up as a chip millionaire after the hand, and when the board ran out 10♦8♦2♥6♦2♠, Razinkov's kings remained best to take the huge pot.

Omar Del Pino had opened from middle position and Kemal Aslan shoved from the cutoff for less than 20,000. Fabian Gumz then three-bet from the button to around 55,000, and Del Pino called.
On the 2♠6♦J♥ flop, Del Pino check-called a bet of 22,000 Gumz to the K♠ turn. Del Pino checked again, and Gumz fired 37,000, which got Del Pino to fold.
Kemal Aslan: K♦Q♣
Fabian Gumz: A♣9♦
Gumz had already won the side pot by pushing Del Pino out, but couldn't claim the main pot as Aslan more than tripled up when the 3♣ river kept his pair of kings in the lead.
