The pot stood around 200,000 in a blind versus blind confrontation with two players looking at a board of 6♥K♠9♥Q♦.
Hugues Mazerolle, in the small blind, bet out 175,000. Diogo Coelho, in the big blind, made the call.
The 3♦ river saw Mazerolle size down with a bet of 100,000. Coelho tanked before producing a raise to 480,000. Mazerolle made a reluctant call. Coelho rolled over K♥8♦ for top pair, winning him this pot.
Bobby James shoved from the button with a stack that covered both the blinds. Kostadin Kostadinov looked at his cards in the small blind and made the call for his last 855,000.
Kostadin Kostadinov: A♣J♥ 
Bobby James: Q♦10♠
Kostadinov needed to stay ahead with his ace-high to double-up. The board ran out 6♣3♠8♦K♥9♣ and Kostadinov had doubled up through James.
On a board reading 8♠A♣J♠J♣6♠ and with around 230,000 in the middle Andras Matrai bet 325,000 from the small blind. Nichan Khorchidian was seated in the big blind and after a considerable amount of time, called the clock on himself. After the floor staff started the countdown Khorchidian decided to fold his hand.
Level: 28
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000
Valeriy Fokin, in the cutoff, moved all in for 225,000. Patrick Leonard, in the big blind, made the call.
Valeriy Fokin: K♥6♣
Patrick Leonard: A♥10♥
Fokin was behind on the 2♣3♠3♣ flop. However, the 6♦ turn and K♠ river gave him two pair to double up.
Vladimir Malyarchuk tossed in his remaining 190,000 under the gun. Gediminas Uselis then rejammed for 915,000 on the button, after which Andreas Frohli called off his stack of 505,000 in the small blind.
Vladimir Malyarchuk: K♠K♣
Andreas Frohli: 5♥5♦
Gediminas Uselis: A♦9♦
Both Malyarchuk and Frohli flopped a set on K♦5♣2♠, needing Uselis to hit a runner-runner flush or straight if he wanted to scoop the pot. The 4♠ turn gave him a chance at doing so, and the 3♠ river completed the miracle.
He knocked out both players, who left the tournament area in disbelief.
Diogo Coelho raised to 120,000 from the button and Andreas Frohli defended in the big blind.
The 8♦Q♥4♠ flop saw Frohli play in flow. Coelho bet out 75,000 and Frohli check-raised to 200,000. Coelho went into the tank before moving all in for 685,000. Frohli called.
Diogo Coelho: A♠4♦
Andreas Frohli: Q♦6♦
Coelho was all in and behind until the A♦ spiked on the turn to see him take the lead. The 2♥ river confirmed Coelho's double up.
Andras Matrai raised to 150,000 in middle position. Vedat Mutlu then jammed in 500,000 from the hijack and Matrai snap-called once the action folded back to him.
Vedat Mutlu: A♦9♦
Andras Matrai: A♠J♥
Matrai had Mutlu dominated. The board ran out Q♥Q♦8♣J♠K♦ to give Matrai two pair, eliminating Mutlu in 28th.
When the the action folded around to Ivan Pavlov in the small blind, he decided to make up the big blind. Leonid Logunov was seated in the big blind and he checked his option.
The dealer fanned out the flop of 2♠3♠5♠ and Pavlov fired out a bet of 60,000. Logunov didn't think for too long before tossing his hand into the muck, and Pavlov pulled in the pot.
Juan Baraza made it 120,000 to go in early position. Patrick Leonard wanted to call in middle position, but Jun Lai acted out of turn and shoved all in for 710,000 in the hijack.
Leonard already had the chips in his hand and over the line, and the floor ruled that his call and Lai's all in would stand. Baraza then mucked his cards before Leonard called off.
Jun Lai: K♥Q♥
Patrick Leonard: A♣Q♣
It was looking like Lai's time was up, but he rivered a straight on the 7♠7♦J♣9♠10♦ runout to double up instead.
After the hand, Lai was given a four-hand penalty for acting out of turn. Meanwhile, at another table, Roman Kolotiuk was the latest to depart.
