Mounim Kaddouri shoved for around 950,000 from the hijack and Vitaly Karayvan re-shoved for roughly 1,900,000 from the cutoff, folding out all other players to leave Kaddouri at risk.
Mounim Kaddouri: 7♠7♦
Vitaly Karayvan: A♥K♠
Kaddouri pulled ahead on the J♥2♠4♥ flop and was still safe on the 9♠ turn. That all changed when the A♦ river gave Karayvan top pair to send Kaddouri to the rail and take down a decent pot.
The final 69 players are on a 15-minute break.

Murat Naimanbayev: K♥Q♦
