The 8♠ turn saw James play in flow. Simsek moved all in for 19,000 and Fedyaev stepped aside. James called.

Bobby James: Q♣10♣ All in
Mustafa Simsek: 9♣9♦

James was ahead with trips, however, the J♦ river completed Simsek's straight draw to send James to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was caught with approximately 28,500 in the middle with two players looking at a board of 4♥8♦7♥8♣.

Jon Ander Vallinas, who was under the gun, checked the action to Oleg Eltsov, in early position. Elstov moved all in for Vallinas' effective stack of 13,100.

Vallinas tanked for so long that the clock was called, eventually prompting him to put his remaining stack in the middle.

Jon Ander Vallinas: A♣K♣ All in
Oleg Eltsov: 6♣6♥

Eltsov's pair was already out in front, but the 5♠ river improved him to a straight for good measure, sending Vallinas to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The pot had grown to 22,400 with two players looking at a full board of 7♠9♣6♣J♣Q♦.

Bakhos Joumaa, who was under the gun, checked the action to Vladimir Litasov, in the hijack. Litasov bet out 15,000, and Joumaa responded by moving all in for only a few chips more. Litasov had an easy call.

Bakhos Joumaa: K♠J♥ All in
Vladimir Litasov: A♣Q♣

Litasov's nut flush was more than good enough to eliminate Joumaa.

Abdulgamid Gadzhiev moved all in for 11,200 from early position and was looked up by Erik Bauer, in the small blind.

Erik Bauer: A♦K♦
