Guoliang Wei opened to 250,000 from the hijack and was called by Recep Aydemir in the big blind.
Aydemir check-called a 350,000 bet from Wei on the Q♣6♣5♥ flop and then led out 650,000 on the 7♠ turn.
Wei responded by announcing he was all in — sending Aydemir deep into the tank.
After several minutes, Aydemir folded 10♣8♣ face up. Wei showed A♣9♣ and collected the pot.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Mihai Trofim limped from the small blind. Lavrentiy Ni used his option to raise to 350,000 and Trofim responded by three-betting to 1,520,000. Ni announced he was all in and Trofim called all in for approximately 2,700,000 total.
Mihai Trofim: A♥5♠
Lavrentiy Ni: A♦Q♠
Trofim found himself dominated, and the Q♥A♣4♣9♦K♦ runout left Ni with two pair to eliminate Trofim in 16th place.
Action was picked up on the flop of 7♠K♣8♦. Pieter Theelen checked to Samuel Fournier who bet 175,000. Theelen then check-raised to 600,000. Fournier called.
On the 10♦ turn, Theelen bet 1,100,000. Fournier moved all in for 3,785,000. Theelen made the call.
Pieter Theelen: K♦8♥
Samuel Fournier: 7♦7♥
Theelen's two pair were in a rough shape against Fournier's set, and he filled up on the 10♠ river to eliminate Theelen.
Aleksandr Razinkov opened from the button to 250,000. Matthias Lipp raised to 1,300,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded before Razinkov asked for the rest of Lipp's chips. Lipp called.
Matthias Lipp: K♠J♦
Aleksandr Razinkov: 9♣9♦
Razinkov made two pair across the 8♣7♣5♥8♠7♥ runout to send Lipp to the rail.
Guoliang Wei open raised to 250,000 from the button and Alexey Badulin three-bet to 650,000 from the small blind. Wei then quickly-four bet and Badulin snap-shoved all in, which Wei called for 5,400,000. It was a huge pot and Wei was at risk as the cards were turned.
Guoliang Wei: A♦A♠
Alexey Badulin: 9♣9♦
The board ran out 10♦8♥7♥5♦A♥ and Badulin picked up a straight draw on the flop to bring the sweats. Wei held and further improved to a set of aces on the river, doubling his stack and taking the chip lead.
Yuan Xu opened to 250,000 from the hijack and Aleksandr Razinkov defended his big blind.
Razinkov check-called a 120,000 bet from Xu on the Q♣4♠A♦ flop and then both players checked on the 3♠ turn.
The 3♥ came on the river and Razinkov put 600,000 into the middle. Xu stuck in a call and Razinkov tabled A♣7♦ for aces-up.
Xu sent his hand into the muck and Razinkov padded his stack.
Bobby James raised to 250,000 from late position and Alexey Badulin three-bet to 760,000 from the small blind. James four-bet all in, and Badulin made the call with the bigger stack. The cards were turned, with James at risk.
Bobby James: 4♠4♦
Alexey Badulin: A♦J♠
The board ran out Q♠9♠7♣6♥A♥ and James managed to stay ahead all the way up to the river, when Badulin paired his ace to win the pot. James was eliminated from the tournament in 19th place for $13,260.

Yuan Xu opened from the hijack to 200,000. Muhtar Taysi called from the hijack.
Xu led the 4♣4♦10♠ flop for 300,000. Taysi called. Taysi called a bet of 450,000 on the 3♣ turn. Xu barrelled again on the Q♦ river for 900,000. Taysi went into the tank before calling. Xu showed Q♠8♠ for two pair. Taysi shook his head seemingly in disbelief as he flicked his cards into the muck.
Radoslav Stoyanov moved all in from the hijack for 930,000. Pieter Theelen called on the button and the blinds folded.
Radoslav Stoyanov: 6♠6♦
Pieter Theelen: A♥J♥
Theelen's top pair on the 10♦J♠4♣ flop became trips on the J♦ turn. Stoyanov was sent to the payout desk on the K♥ river.
