Action was on the turn on a board of 10♦9♣5♥Q♣. Ran Shahar shoved all in for 45,000 and Aleksandr Kinzhalov called all in for his remaining 28,000. Players turned their cards.
Aleksandr Kinzhalov: K♦J♠
Ran Shahar: 5♦5♣
Shahar had flopped a set of fives, but Kinzhalov had turned the nut straight. The river came the 8♦. Kinzhalov held to scoop a huge pot.
Azizjon Rakhimov opened to 2,400 from under the gun and was called by Sergi Reixach and Michel Atallah from the hijack and small blind. Raoul Refos, in the big blind, made it 10,200. Rakhimov and Reixach got out of the way but Atallah stuck around.
Attalah checked on the A♠10♠8♥ flop and Refos continued for 7,000. Attalah then jammed as the big stack and Refos instantaneously called off his remaining 41,400.
Raoul Refos: A♥A♣
Michel Atallah: 7♥5♥
Atallah's mistimed jam was perfect for Refos who collected the pot after the 7♣ turn and 9♥ river.
Adrian State moved his short stack of 7,000 into the middle from early position and was met with a quick raise from Yunsheng Sun to his left. Fabio Peluso then shoved in the cutoff for 40,700, leaving the decision back on Sun.
The call was made and all three hands were turned up.
Adrian State: A♦6♣
Fabio Peluso: A♥K♦
Yunsheng Sun: 6♠6♦
Sun's pocket pair was ahead until the 2♣A♣9♥ flop, which hit both of his opponents. State needed help but found none on the 5♠ turn or 7♣ river, as Peluso held to double his stack.
Alexander Shelukhin opened from late position to 2,500 before it folded all the way to Joe Mouawad in the big blind who defended.
The J♣2♦J♦ flop hit the felt and action checked to Shelukhin who continued for 2,000. Mouawad called.
The 8♣ landed on the turn and action quickly checked through to a 2♠ river. Mouawad opted to lead on this card for 5,000 and Shelukhin went deep into the tank.
After almost two minutes of thought he tossed in the chips. Mouawad rolled over J♥9♠ and Shelukhin shook his head and mucked.
Teun Mulder raised from under the gun and picked up three callers, including Adil Oubaaous in the small blind.
The flop came J♦3♥2♥. Action checked to Mulder, who bet 2,700. Only Oubaaous made the call. The turn was the A♠. Oubaaous led for 5,000 and Mulder called.
The river was the J♥. Oubaaous checked and Mulder moved all in for around 25,000.
Oubaaous took a moment and then made the call. He showed Ax10x for a pair of aces and Mulder showed 3♦3♠ for a set of threes. He'd extracted maximum value over three streets of action.
Oubaaous was left with around 16,000 chips, but has subsequently busted the tournament.
Online poker phenom Niklas Astedt opened to 2,500 from middle position and called when Ihor Hula made it 11,000 from the small blind.
Hula continued for 4,000 on the 9♠9♣3♠ flop and was called, which brought in the 5♥ turn. Hula slowed down and checked. He then called when Astedt bet 15,000.
Hula checked once more on the 4♣ river and folded his cards after Astedt fired out another 35,000.
Mehmet Dalkilic raised from late position, Philip Joyce three-bet to 7,000, then Dalkilic four-bet to 18,000. Joyce five-bet all in for around 57,000 more and Dalkilic opted to make the fold.
Raphael Blouet moved all in from under the gun for his final 14,500 chips, finding calls from Toru Ida in middle position and Uri Gilboa in the small blind.
Isa then moved all in on the 10♠7♥3♠ flop, with Gilboa getting out of the way.
Raphael Blouet: A♥6♥
Toru Ida: Q♣Q♦
Ida was looking to fade an ace, doing so on the 10♦ turn and 4♣ river to eliminate Blouet.
On the very next hand, Leonid Sidelkovskiy was eliminated from the seat next to Blouet.
Suat Uyanik raised from early position, Tom Vogelsang called in late position, then Phillip Corion moved all in from the small blind with a relatively short stack. Uyanik called and Vogelsang folded. Players turned over their cards, with Corion at risk.
Phillip Corion: Q♦Q♣
Suat Uyanik: A♣10♠
The board ran out 6♠K♠3♥J♠9♠. Corion had pocket queens and stayed ahead until the river brought a fourth spade and gave Uyanik a flush. Corion was eliminated from the tournament.
Mikhail Katykhin and Jovan Kenjic both had their stacks in the middle, with the former slightly covered and at risk.
Mikhail Katykhin: 9♥9♦
Jovan Kenjic: 10♣10♥
Katykhin could not catch up on the A♥A♣6♣2♥5♣ runout, hitting the rail early in Level 9.
