Their individual journeys were tough on them though and neither had riches to show off to the other. One decided to take all the other's wealth in a battle to the death.
Leonzio opened shoved from early position and Larin called all in from the big blind.
Leonzio: 
Larin: 
The board ran

Action folded around to Glen Cymbaluk in the hijack and he put in a raise. Action then folded to Andrew Teng in the big blind, and he pushed back with a three-bet. Before long Teng was all in for approximately 200,000 and racing for his tournament life.
Showdown
Cymbaluk: 
Teng: 
"A queen would be nice," Cymbaluk said as he waited for the the flop. Ask and you shall receive as the flop came down 
. Teng was still alive to a jack, but neither the 
turn nor 
river would be it. With that, Teng exited the tournament floor while Cymbaluk chipped up to 800K.

Robert Peltecci opened to 17,000 from middle position and Martin Mulsow, to his immediate left, three-bet to 44,000. Christopher Brammer was next to act and he asked Mulsow for a count of his stack and we prepared ourselves for a Brammer four-bet. It didn't arrive and Brammer folded.
The action then passed back to Peltecci and he counted out the chips needed to call but would not put them into the pot. Three minutes later, one of the players called time on Peltecci at the exact second Peltecci was about to call, causing Peltecci to pull his hand back and go back into the tank.
The floorstaff counted down a minute and in the last few seconds of the countdown Peltecci folded, showing 
in the process.
Peltecci was not happy the clock was called on him but Jonathon Driscoll informed him that is was every player's right to call the clock — especially after three minutes. Driscoll seemed a little riled by Peltecci's attitude and it could be interesting if they get into a pot together.
Martin Hanowski is up to around 850k now after he eliminated Ivar Vendelin in a battle of the blinds.
The action folded around to Vendelin in the small blind and he moved all in. Call.
Vendelin:

Ramzi Jelassi is the new chip leader after he eliminated Sirzat Hissou in a huge, and somewhat cold, pot.
We heard the call of, "All in. Call" and rushed over to their table to see a 
flop fanned across the middle of the table.
Hissou had committed the 330,000 he had remaining with on top of whatever he'd already committed pre flop. The news was bad for him though as his Swedish opponent opened before the board ran out 
.

Ater losing a massive, 400,000-chip raise with queens to an opponent's ace-king, Jeffrey Hakim moved all in for his last 50,000 or so, and Jeff Sarwer looked him up.
Hakim:

The 
flop was disastrous for Hakim, and it was all over after the turned. A meaningless 
completed the board, and Hakim hit the rail.

Marlek Tatar of Slovakia is helping the day pass along by drinking a few glasses of vodka. Roberto Romanello hast told Tatar that he will drink one glass to every three Tatar consumes. So far Tatar has declined Romanello's offer.
Anyway, back to the hand. Tatar opened to 17,000 in the hijack and Jorma Nuutinen called on the button. Both blinds folded and the dealer fanned out the flop.
"Vodka please!" cried Tatar as the dealer got to work.
Tatar checked, Nuutinen bet 20,000 and Tatar called. That was the last of the betting because the duo checked the arrival of the 
turn and 
river, Tatar's beating Nuutinen's .
"Don't your chips work? You had a pair of aces!" quipped Romanello.
"What would I get with his [Nuutinen] hand?" replied Tatar.
"You didn't know he had king-jack," said Romanello.
"When I drink I see everything!" claimed Tatar, before stacking his chips and draining the rest of his drink from his glass.
