There was some serious action taking place between Aleksandr Denisov and Igor Shemchuk. The flop was already out and it read 
. Both players committed their chips and Denisov was at risk with the shorter stack of 43,100 chips.
Aleksandr Denisov: 
Igor Shemchuk: 
Denisov had flopped huge against Shemchuk's pocket rockets and the 
turn and rivers held for him, putting him over the six-figure mark and is one of the biggest stacks at the moment.
Maksim Zakharenko was down to the wire and he chose to get it all-in preflop just now. There were three calls, making it a multi-way pot. The flop fell 
and Aleksandr Denisov bet 1,000 and one player called. On the turn, he barrelled for 3,000 and his opponent folded.
Maksim Zakharenko: 
Aleksandr Denisov: 
Zakharenko was ahead at this point and the 
river did nothing to change that and he takes a small pot. He is still under ten big blinds but he has survived to play another hand nonetheless.
There are 82 players registered and of those 57 still have chips. This is the last level of re-entries for this flight, with registration closing at the end of the next break.
Level: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
There were five players in on a 
flop and everyone checked to Roman Gadzhiev who was in position. He bet 5,000 and Viktor Kudinov and Uri Gilboa were the only players to call.
On the turn, it went check-check-check and the dealer dealt a on the river. Kudinov opted to lead at this point, betting 17,500. It was enough to take the pot and he moves up in the counts.
