. It didn't end well for him, though, as the board ran out 
.
The day is done for the Russian about ten spots shy of the money.

Play is getting very slow now on the tournament floor, we've just had to observe Ben Spraggons bet/three-bet all in on the turn of a 
board against Mateo Sempere. Spraggons had bet 11,400 then moved all in for about 100,000 over the top of Sempere's raise to 25,000.
Sempere eventually folded but the whole process took almost 10 minutes to complete, Kevin MacPhee and several other players all taking the time to stretch their legs.

EPT7 San Remo champion and all around likable gent, Rupert Elder, has just been eliminated.
With a raise in front of him and a three-bet from Dobromir Nikov, Elder cold four-bet shoved for somewhere around 70,000 total. He was working with 
, and that would prove to be a troublesome thing when Nikov called him down with the superior 
.
The 
flop was a miss for Elder, and the 
gave Nikov a set. That was actually a decent card for Elder's chances, though, giving him four outs for the double instead of two. Still not enough. The 
river was a miss, and Elder was sent pacing glumly toward the exit.

Just before the break a hand played out that didn't really go anywhere as Ivan Tikhov folded to the aggressive action of Taylor Paur. The Russian wasn't about to let that happen again.
Kenny Hallaert opened to 6,700 and was called by Tikhov before Paur squeezed to 26,200 from the big blind. The Belgian folded but Tikhov moved all-in for 96,000 after thinking for two minutes. Call.
Paur: 
Tikhov:
The board ran 
to make Tikhov two-pair.

After our night last night, these are the only kind of shots we're interested in. These come from the steady eye of Neil Stoddart with our thanks.
There was one table playing a hand long into the break, and we had eyes on the action. Melanie Weisner opened the pot to 5,100 under the gun, and she found calls in two places. One of those callers was big blind Anders Andersen, and he led with the same 5,100 on the flop. Weisner flatted.
They were heads up to the turn, and now Andersen slowed back down. When it checked to Weisner, she took her cue to bet 13,500. It was several minutes before the call came, and by now, most of the room was empty.
The river came the 
, and Andersen checked again. Weisner had about 35,000 chips left in front of her, and she bet 25,100 of them. Andersen needed more time in the tank, another four or five minutes at least. He did eventually fold, though, and Weisner showed as she hustled off to break.
She's closing back in on the century mark in chips.
