It's been a rollercoaster of emotions over the last orbit for Vladislav Dubanov as he first doubled up, then bluffed off most of his stack, and now he has been eliminated by Shankui Li.
Vladislav Dubanov: 10x10x 
Shankui Li: 8♣8♦
Dubanov had the best of it, but couldn't hold onto his lead as the K♦4♣8♥2♦9♥ runout meant Li hit a set, which sent Dubanov to the rail.
Aleksei Savenkov got his last 85,000 into the middle preflop with Lev Margolin making the call to try and bust him.
Aleksei Savenkov: A♣10♥
Lev Margolin: 7♥7♠
Margolin was ahead with sevens the whole way until the river on the board of 3♥2♥4♦J♣A♠, as Savenkov paired his ace and doubled up.
Zhen Chen shoved from the button for around 150,000, and Steve O'Dwyer called from the small blind.
Zhen Chen: Q♥8♥
Steve O'Dwyer: K♣J♣
Chen paired his eight on the 4♣9♦8♣ flop and was one card about from survival after the 7♠ turn. However, O'Dwyer binked a king on the K♠ river, which meant Chen was eliminated.
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Aleksei Savenkov all-in for 210,000 and at risk versus Andras Nemeth.
Aleksei Savenkov: A♦4♦
Andras Nemeth: 5♠5♦
Savenkov was in trouble with only one overcard versus Nemeth's pocket fives, and he missed the 9♣6♠3♠9♠10♥ runout.
Patrick Leonard was seen vacating his table after he lost a flip with 4♥4♦ against Juan Pardo's Q♥J♦, which left the Spanish player with around 1,400,000 in his stack.
Lev Margolin got his last 150,000 into the middle with Daniel Myers being the player trying to bust him.
Lev Margolin: A♥Q♦
Daniel Myers: A♠K♥
Margolin looked poised to hit the rail unless he could find a queen. The board ran out 6♦2♦2♣A♦Q♥ to give Margolin two pair on the river, and he earned the much-needed double-up.
Sebastian Malec opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Niklas Astedt three-bet to 115,000 from the seat next to him. When it folded back to Malec he four-bet to 270,000. Astedt pondered briefly before five-bet jamming to put Malec all-in. Malec snap-folded and Astedt picked up the pot.
Players will play five more hands before bagging up and coming back tomorrow at noon for the third and final day of the tournament.
Jelle Moene opened from under the gun to 40,000 and Lev Margolin shoved for 395,000 from the small blind. Upon receiving the count, Moene made the call.
Lev Margolin: A♠9♦
Jelle Moene: 9♠9♣
Margolin needed a lot of help and didn't find any on the 2♣K♥5♦ flop. The 10♣ put Margolin one step closer to the rail, but the A♥ on the river kept him alive at the last possible moment.
