Wei proceeded to check-call bets from Badulin on every street. First for 150,000 on the 9♥2♦K♥ flop, then for 400,000 on the 3♦ turn, and finally for 1,000,000 on the 10♦ river.

Badulin turned over A♦K♦ for the nut flush and Wei showed he held 10♥10♣ for a set of tens as Badulin was sent the pot.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Recep Aydemir opened to 200,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Igor Abelmasov three-bet to 1,055,000 — leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Guoliang Wei then shoved from the small blind for approximately 4,000,000, which got a fold from Aydemir and a call from Abelmasov to put himself at risk.

Igor Abelmasov: K♠J♣ All in
Guoliang Wei: A♠K♦

Abelmasov would need some help against Wei's big slick, but the 5♥3♣9♦8♥8♦ runout bricked out to eliminate Abelmasov in 21st place.
