On the A♥10♦2♥ flop, Bernardino check-called a bet of 30,000 from Mao.
The 4♣ turn was checked through to the A♠ river, where Bernardino led out with a bet of 100,000. Mao jammed for 300,000, and after a reasonable amount of thought, Bernardino had to let it go.

Patrik Jaros opened to 50,000 and Maksim Vaskresenski called in the big blind.
Vaskresenski check-called versus a continuation bet of 50,000 on the K♦9♣7♦ flop.
The Q♦ hit on the turn, and Jaros again fired when it was checked to him, this time with a bet of 70,000. After about a minute of thought, Vaskresenski called.
The A♥ completed the board, and the same pattern followed, with Jaros firing out a bet of 180,000. Vaskresenski put out all his time banks in front of him. He burnt through three before folding, seemingly reluctantly.
"One pair good?" said Jaros, and Vaskresenski nodded. Jaros tabled 5♣5♥ for a pair of fives, and it was pretty clear from the look on Vaskresenski's face that said pair was probably not good.

David Boyaciyan: K♣4♣
Laszlo Molnar: K♦8♦

In a blind versus blind situation, Christian Pedersen in the small blind bet 25,000 on 2♦A♠A♣ and Artsiom Lasouski to his left made the call.
Pedersen fired a second barrel of 40,000 on the 9♥ turn. Lasouski called again to find the K♣ river where Pedersen bet 175,000.
It didn't take very long for Lasouski to fold. On the very next hand, he raised to 85,000 from the small blind, but Mariusz Golinski in the big blind three-bet to 225,000 and made Lasouski fold.
