: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dmitry Kataev raised to 25,000 under the gun with Yayun Liu three-betting to 120,000 from the next position. When it folded to Dmitrii Kopyl, who won the Warm-Up event earlier today, he called for his last 90,000. Kataev folded, and the cards were revealed.
Dmitrii Kopyl: 5♥5♣ 
Yayun Liu: A♦K♥
Kopyl could more than double up if he won this race. The board ran out 3♣6♦9♦10♠Q♦ and Kopyl won the pot with his pair of fives

Simas Karaliunas raised to 20,000 from the cutoff with only Kyosuke Nagami calling from the big blind.
After Nagami checked the 10♣8♥6♣ flop, Karaliunas put out a continuation-bet of 20,000. Nagami quickly called.
Nagami checked again when the Q♥ fell on the turn and Karaliunas bet enough to put Nagami all in. Nagami called for his last 100,000.
Kyosuke Nagami: Q♦8♣
Simas Karaliunas: A♠J♣
Nagami was ahead with two pair, but Karaliunas had a straight draw. The board-pairing 6♥ on the river meant Nagami earned the much-needed double-up.

Axel Hallay raised from middle position to 20,000 and Aren Bezhanyan shoved for 130,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Hallay he made the call for almost half his stack.
Aren Bezhanyan: A♣J♣
Axel Hallay: 7♠7♦
It was a classic race that Bezhanyan needed to win. The A♦J♠5♦ flop was favorable for Bezhanyan as he improved to two pair. The rest of the board ran out Q♣3♥ and Bezhanyan doubled.

Mario Colavita raised the button to 20,000 and was called only by Dinesh Alt in the big blind.
On the flop of J♠6♣10♣, Alt check-called a bet of 25,000 from Colavita.
Alt led out for 33,000 upon seeing the 10♠ land on the turn. Colavita thought for a few moments before making the call.
The A♠ river saw Alt lead out again, this time for 150,000. Colavita didn't long to muck his cards and forfeit the pot to ALt.

Last year in the 2024 Merit Poker Carmen Series $3,300 Main Event, It took nearly 12 hour-long levels for a winner to emerge from the 41 players who entered the final day at the Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino.
Elie Farah was the last player standing, scoring five final table knockouts and last defeating Felipe Ketzer in heads-up play to take home the title and top prize of $338,500.
Farah notably was down to his last 125,000 chips on the stone bubble during Day 3 aciton, worth just five big blinds at that time. His previous best score before this comes from an eighth-place finish in the 2022 Merit Poker Retro Series Main Event for $30,255. This victory not only exceeds his previous best more than tenfold, it also triples his total live tournament earnings which before this event stood at just under $150,000.

Atanas Malinov raised to 16,000 under the gun with Georgios Tsouloftas calling from the next position and Axel Hallay calling on the button. Felipe Ketzer squeezed it up to 95,000 from the small blind, and Malinov shoved for 125,000. Tsouloftas just called the all-in, but Hallay back-jammed for 519,000 total. Ketzer folded, but Tsouloftas went into the tank. Tsouloftas had both players covered, but after doing a bit of inventory, he opted to fold his cards.
Atanas Malinov: A♥K♠
Axel Hallay: A♣Q♠
Malinov found himself in the perfect spot to quadruple up if his Big Slick could hold against the inferior ace. The board ran out 3♦9♥3♠J♦K♣ to give Malinov the winner with a pair of kings.
Ketzer claimed to have folded pocket nines, and said to Malinov "He saved you", referring to Hally's jam forcing Ketzer out of the pot.
