Andrey Pateychuk opened from the hijack and was three-bet to 275,000 by Pieter Theelen in the cutoff. It was folded back to Patechuk, who four-bet to 475,000. Theelen called.
Theelen proceeded to call bets from Patechuk on every street. First for 125,000 on the 5♠6♠Q♠ flop, then for 200,000 on the A♦ turn, and finally for Theelen's last 805,000 on the 10♦ river.
Patechuk showed Ax6x for two pair, but found himself second best against Theelen's A♠A♥ for top set to award Theelen the double up.
Sebastian Ting opened from middle position to 125,000. Igor Abelmasov called from the small blind.
The 6♠Q♦8♥ flop was checked around before Abelmasov check-raised a bet of 80,000 to 355,000 on the 3♠ turn. Ting made the call.
Abelmasov then led for 850,000 on the A♠ river. Ting took a moment before moving all in. Abelmasov took around 3 minutes in the tank before the clock was called on him.
The floor came to the table and with one second of time left Abelmasov flicked his cards into the muck, leaving Ting with a sizeable pot.
Georgios Tsouloftas completed the small blind and Yuan Xu raised from the big blind. Tsouloftas then moved all in and Xu called for 435,000. Players flipped their cards.
Yuan Xu: K♥K♦
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♦9♦
Xu had woken up with pocket kings in the big blind and held on a board of 4♥6♥9♠10♥2♥ to double up his stack.
Marian Virlanuta opened from under the gun to 150,000. Lavrentiy Ni raised to 300,000 from middle position. Action folded around and Virlanuta moved all in for 150,000 more.
Marian Virlanuta: Q♣Q♦
Lavrentiy Ni: K♠K♦
Virlanuta couldn't find a queen across the 10♦8♠2♥3♣A♣ runout and he was sent to the rail.
Muhtar Taysi opened to 125,000 from early position and was three-bet to 375,000 by Aleksandr Razinkov on the button. It was folded back around to Taysi, who called.
Taysi checked to Razinkov, who continued for 275,000 on the 10♦7♣7♦ flop. Taysi then check-raised to 700,000 and Razinkov called.
Both players proceeded to check down on the 3♦ turn and 2♣ river and Taysi tabled 10♠8♠ for tens-up. Razinkov turned over A♥A♦ for a higher two pair and collected the pot.
Action was picked up with the cards on their backs. Leo Worthington-Leese moved all in from the small blind and Dinesh Alt made the call in the big blind but was covered.
Dinesh Alt: A♣10♦
Leo Worthington-Leese: K♣9♠
Worthington-Leese flopped trips on the flop of K♦K♠5♦ to leave Alt drawing slim. The Q♣ gave Alt a straight draw but he couldn't get there on the 3♥ river and was sent to the cashiers desk.
Action folded around to the blinds, where [Removed:499] shoved for approximately 1,000,000 from the small blind. Samuel Fournier took a peek at his hole cards and stuck in a chip to indicate a call from the big blind to put Slobodskoy at risk.
[Removed:499]: Q♣9♦
Samuel Fournier: K♦J♥
Slobodskoy's cards were live, but the K♠A♦3♠8♥2♦ runout left Fournier best with a pair of kings and Slobodskoy was eliminated.
