Shortly after the elimination of Sha Cheng Chun in 24th Place, Guo Liang Wei opened from the cutoff, Emre Saltik three-bet shoved from the small blind for about 4,000,000 and Wei called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Emre Saltik: 5♥4♥
Guo Liang Wei: K♣K♦
The board ran out J♠Q♥A♠8♣6♥. Wei's pocket kings were good at showdown and he took the pot while sending Saltik to the rail.
With two players seeing a board of 4♥9♦Q♠8♥ and about 1,500,000 in the middle, Aylar Lie bet 900,000 from middle positio nand was called by Achir Eldaye in the hijack.
On the 10♦ river Lie continued with a bet of 1,800,000. Eldaye used a time bank before raising to 4,500,000 and Lie made the call.
Eldaye tabled K♠J♥ for the nut-straight. Lie showed a Jx from her hand for a queen-high straight before Eldaye took the pot.
Denis Zelenkin opened, Alexey Savenkov three-bet and Denis Zelenkin four-bet shoved for just under 8,000,000. Savenkov, who covered Zelenkin, made the call.
Denis Zelenkin: A♣4♣
Alexey Savenkov: AxKx
Zelenkin was in big trouble after being caught with a smaller ace but he 6♣9♣5♣ flop gave him the nut-flush leaving his opponent drawing dead. The 3♣ turn and 4♥ river were a mere formality after which Zelenkin dragged in a pot worth nearly three times the chip average while Savenkov was left with roughly ten big blinds.

Milad Langar opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Georgios Tsouloftas defended from the big blind.
The flop came J♥J♦3♣ and Tsouloftas led out with a bet of 225,000 that was called by Langar.
Tsouloftas fired another barrel on the 9♥ turn, this time for 525,000. Once again Langar made the call.
Both players checked the 8♥ river. Tsouloftas could only show K♣4♣ for a bluff but Langar showed 10♣8♣ and was actually behind the whole way with a draw until connected with his eight on the river to take the pot.
