The flop came 9♥A♣6♣ and Kabdylsalykov checked. Krasilnikova shoved all in and Kabdylsalykov quickly called. Krasilnikova flipped over A♥7♠ for a pair of aces, but Kabdylsalykov had A♠K♦ for a pair of aces with higher kicker.
The turn came the 4♦ and river the 8♥. Kabdylsalykov held and Krasilnikova was eliminated from the tournament.
Following an under the gun raise and call, Adi Rajkovic moved all in from the button with a short stack of 17,000. Joao Tomas then made an iso raise from the big blind for 60,000. The rest of the table folded and two players flipped their cards, with Radkovic at risk.

Joao Tomas: 10♠10♦
The board ran out 8♥3♣5♦7♠5♠ and Rajkovic held with his pocket aces to double his stack as the bubble approached.

The flop came Q♣4♦8♦ and Godzdanker continued for 12,000. Tsoy quickly called and Timergazin also called.
The turn was the A♥ and Godzdanker checked. Tsoy bet 24,000 and the other players folded to give him the pot.

Christos Christou: Q♣Q♠
Adi Rajkovic: A♣K♣
It was a classic race, but the A♠Q♦J♦A♦7♥ runout left Christou best with queens-full against Rajkovic's trip aces for the double up.
Barny Boatman was seen leaving the tournament area after recently busting less than ten players away from the money.

The flop came A♦6♥7♣ and Tasoev continued for 40,000. Gadzhiev went into the tank and then folded his hand, asking his opponent to show one card. Tasoev showed his hand, A♠K♦ for a pair of aces.
Vadzim Godzdanker opened to 8,000 from middle position and Serghei Tsoy three-bet to 18,000 from the cutoff. It was folded back around to Godzdanker, who called.
Godzdanker check-called a 25,000 bet from Tsoy on the J♥Q♣K♦ flop and then bet enough to put Tsoy all in on the 3♠ turn. Tsoy called all in for his last 27,000 and a showdown was held.
Serghei Tsoy: Q♥Q♦
Vadzim Godzdanker: K♠Q♠
Godzdanker had flopped top two pair, but was well behind Tsoy's set of queens.
The 3♥ river left Tsoy best with a full house and he doubled up through Godzdanker.
