Pertea's Two Pair No Good Against Shalamov's Set
With around 15,000 chips in the middle on a board of 3♦10♠8♦, Mikhail Shalamov and Iurii Okolovich checked it over to Marius-Catalin Pertea, who fired 5,700. Shalamov then put in a raise to 13,200, which got a quick fold out of Okolovich, but Pertea called.
A 7♦ dropped on the turn and Shalamov immediately shoved, which gave Pertea a decision for his remaining stack of around 20,000. After thinking it over for a while, Pertea decided to put himself at risk, and called.
Marius-Catalin Pertea: 10♣7♣ 
Mikhail Shalamov: 8♠8♣
Pertea had turned two pair but was trailing to the flopped set of Shalamov, who only needed to fade a ten on the river to scoop the pot. Pertea was hoping to hit that two-outer, but it never came as the 9♣ filled out the board, which meant he was eliminated.
