Ramon Colillas Eliminated in 7th Place for ₽1,368,500 ($21,036)
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The eliminations continue to come in thick and fast. With less than an hour of play under their belts, we have just lost another player and this time it's Team PokerStars Pro Ramon Colillas who has exited.
Colillas opened all in for 250,000 on the button and Elvin Sarkarov called in the small blind. Pete Chen got out the way and they turned their cards on their backs.
Elvin Sarkarov: 
Ramon Colillas: 
It was off to the races but the 
flop gave Sarkarov a set and left Colillas in very big trouble. The 
turn locked it up for Sarkarov, with the 
river irrelevant and we have to say goodbye to Colillas.

on show, giving a one-card straight possibility and a two-card flush combination. Sarkarov moved all in and with 278,000 behind, Yantsevich went into the tank. He used three time bank cards and looked visibly uncomfortable, shifting around in his seat while he thought it through.
and Iskandarov moved further into the lead. The 
and Sarkarov takes a hit to his stack, though he remains slightly ahead of Iskandarov who is close contender for the chip lead now.
runout favoured the pair and Yantsevich is on the up, whilst for the first time today, Sarkarov has relinquished the chip lead.
