Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ivan Kuziv raised to 100,000 in the cutoff, leaving himself 35,000 behind, and Boris Tabiyev moved all in from the small blind. Kuziv stared at the tournament clock as he burned through a few time banks and eventually committed the rest of his chips.

Ivan Kuziv: 8♠8♦ All in
Boris Tabiyev: A♠K♥

Kuziv's two eights remained in the lead as the board came J♥5♥2♣5♠, but Tabiyev hit the A♥ on the river to make two pair as he let out a big fist bump while Kuziv was forced to head for the exit.

With around 260,000 already in the pot and the flop reading 5♠5♥10♠, Vytautas Semaska, first to act in early position, checked. Kirill Shcherbakov followed up with a 55,000 bet, which Semaska called.

Both players checked the 8♠ turn.

On the 4♥ river, Semaska took the lead with a 35,000 bet, which Shcherbakov snap-called. At showdown, Shcherbakov revealed QxQx, but Semaska's A♠A♦ gave him the better two pair, earning him the sizable pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Christopher Nguyen raised to 12,000 in early position and David Cabrera three-bet to 37,000 on the button. Nguyen called and the flop came J♣10♦7♦.

Both players checked to the 5♣ turn, where Nguyen led out for 25,000. Cabrera called and the 7♥ fell on the river.

Nguyen slowed down and checked, and Cabrera bet 67,000. Nguyen used a few time banks until calling as Cabrera showed A♣10♣ for two pair to win the pot.

"You had eights or nines, right? I could not resist. If you shove I probably have to call," Cabrera told Nguyen as he took the pot.

"Now we're even. We're playing best-of-five," Cabrera added.

Andrea Dato kicked off the action on the button with a raise to 12,000, but Erik Lindqwist in the small blind wasn’t backing down, three-betting to 45,000. Dato called.

On the J♠Q♣J♣ flop, Lindqwist kept the pressure on with an 18,000 continuation bet, and Dato called again.

When the 10♥ hit the turn, Lindqwist took his time, using his entire time bank plus an additional card, before shoving all in. Dato asked for a count, and when the dealer confirmed 188,000, he needed a time bank card of his own before making the call, bringing the hand to showdown.

Lindqwist revealed A♠K♠ for a turned straight, while Dato held A♥A♣ for aces up. Dato needed help from the river to improve or hope for a chop, but the 7♠ didn’t deliver. Lindqwist secured a huge double-up.
