The remaining four players are going on a 15-minute break as the clock creeps past 5 a.m. local time in Tallinn.
On the last hand before break, Hossein Ensan, Leonid Yanovski, and Youness Barakat went to the K♥5♠J♠ in a limped pot where Ensan bet 400,000 from the button. Both Yanovski and Barakat called in the blinds.
All three players checked the Q♠ turn. The river was the 8♦ and Yanovski led out for 1,500,000.
Barakat folded, but Ensan raised to 3,800,000 and Yanovski called. Ensan showed A♠10♥8♠8♣ for the nut flush and Yanovski mucked.
