Vladislav Vinogradov raised to 2,000 in the hijack and picked up two callers in Irshat Shaykhov in the cutoff as well as the small blind, Kiryl Radzivonau in the big blind let go.
On a 
flop, action checked to Shaykhov and a bet of 4,000 did the trick to let the Russian climb back to an almost average stack on his second bullet of the day.
The field size has been cut into more than half already as just 215 players remain in the penultimate level of the night. Among others, Svetlana Aubakirova, Andrey Pateychuk, Maxim Panyak, and Dmitry Yurasov all ran out of chips.
Soon after losing the big three-way all in, Oleg Volkov three-bet jammed for around 13 big blinds and initial raiser Konstantin Streltskiy called in an instant.
Oleg Volkov: 
Konstantin Streletskiy: 
It was all over for Volkov on the turn of a board 
and he was on the way out by the time Streletskiy had further improved to the nutflush.
Aleksey Badulin was all in for the last 35,000 against Andrey Andreev and his were ahead going into the showdown, as Andreev only held the 
.
Andreev picked up a gutshot on the 
flop but the 
turn and 
river were both blanks.
Nikolay Fal was all in or around 20 big blinds and behind him, two big stacks went to war in Oleg Volkov and Roman Gadzhiev. The latter former was the biggest stack of the trio and could end up in the top spot if he were to hold with his pocket pair.
Nikolay Fal: 
Roman Gadzhiev: 
Oleg Volkov: 
The board came 
and the king on the flop let Gadzhiev double through Fal for 75,900 while sending Fal to the rail.
Aleksandr Gofman raised to 2,300 and Aleksey Levin moved all in for 12,100. Mikhail Kukin flat-called and that got Gofman out of the way.

The 
board failed to improve Levin and he was sent to the rail.
