Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Aliaksei Zhmudzikau had shoved his stack into the pot preflop and was put at risk by Georgia's Tornike Tchkonia.

Aliaksei Zhmudzikau: A♦A♠ All in
Tornike Tchkonia: 5♣5♦

Zhmudzikau had the goods but they didn't look so appealing after the flop of 5♠6♦4♣ improved Tchkonia to a set. The 3♥ turn did bring around some chop opportunities but the 10♦ was a brick, which meant Zhmudzikau was eliminated.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With around 60,000 chips already in the middle and a full board of 10♣2♦4♥8♠4♠ showing, Ilia Mitiaev checked it over to Aben Zholgaliyev, who shoved. Mitiaev had around 55,000 behind and needed to put them all into the pot if he wanted to continue in the hand. Instead, after a long tank, Mitiaev decided to fold, and Zholgaliyev was awarded the pot.

Aleksei Zhukov raised to 9,000 from the hijack and Azizjon Rakhimov called on the button. Vadim Kazykhanov then squeezed to 12,500 from the big blind, which only Zhukov called.

The flop came 9♥2♠2♣ and Kazykhanov fired a bet of 8,000. Zhukov called.

When the 5♠ dropped on the turn, Kazykhanov sized up with a bet of 35,000. Zhukov quickly folded.

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

Vadim Kazykhanov had gotten his stack of around 32,000 into the middle preflop, and Aleksei Zhukov was the player looking to thin down the field further.

Vadim Kazykhanov: A♠J♠ All in
Aleksei Zhukov: A♥7♠

Kazykhanov was in the lead and stayed there as the 9♦3♣10♠9♥5♣ runout kept his ace-jack in the lead, which earned him a double-up.

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

Both Ilia Chugunov and Giorgi Nanitashvili had committed their stacks to the pot preflop and they had been called by Michael Pozhitok & Irakli Kutchava.

Pozhitok and Kutchava decided not to wager any more chips as they checked it down on the 2♠4♣J♥7♠6♣ runout.

Pozhitok showed 9♥8♥, Chugunov had a set with 6♥6♠, Kutchava showed A♦10♦, and Nanitashvili had A♠5♠. After all of that, Chugunov almost quadrupled up and Nanitashvili was eliminated.
