With two players seeing a board reading A♠2♠7♥8♣10♦ and about 6,000,000 in the middle, Milos Petakovic checked from early position and Adrian Strobel, who had left only one T-100,000 chip behind after committing the rest of his stack, checked behind. Petakovic tabled 9♠9♦ for a pair of nines while Strobel showed down A♦K♦ for a top pair which was good at showdown.
Petakovic joked that he would have folded if Strobel moved all in with his last chip as the latter player scooped the pot.
The final 35 players are on a 20-minute break.

Daan Mulders moved all in with his short stack from the cutoff and was called by Almas Umarov who covered him.
Daan Mulders: K♥8♥
Almas Umarov: K♦Q♦
Mulders was dominated with a smaller king and couldn't catch up on the 9♠9♣6♥Q♥K♣ runout, resulting in his elimination while Umarov continued to add chips to his already massive stack.
Roman Novoselov opened from the button and Artsiom Lasouski defended from the big blind.
The flop came Q♥10♠6♦. Lasouski checked, Novoselov fired a 650,000 continuation bet, Lasouski check-raised to 1,400,000 and Novoselov called.
Lasouski bet 1,650,000 on the 5♠ river only for Novoselov to raise to 5,500,000. Lasouski made the call.
On the 3♥ river, with a massive pot of nearly 16,000,000 already in the middle, Lasouski checked and Novoselov moved all in, covering Lasouski who had 13,100,000 behind. Lasouski made the call.
Novoselov could only show K♦J♥ for a missed straight draw. Lasouski turned over Q♦J♣ to take down the biggest pot of the tournament so far with just one pair.
