Tabiyev then shoved all in for 615,000 on the 6♠ turn, getting a quick fold from Lijo and chipping up.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mikhail Shalamov opened to 60,000 from middle position and Yisha Chen called in the cutoff before Halil Tasyurek shoved for 425,000 from the button. Once the action got back to Shalamov, he shoved, and Chen folded.

Halil Tasyurek: A♣K♠ All in
Mikhail Shalamov: A♦J♠

Tasyurek was in front and maintained his lead after the 5♣2♣5♠ flop, but that also brought around some chop outs. The 9♣ turn improved Tasyurek to a flush draw, which removed some outs for Shalamov. Tasyurek's double-up was confirmed on the 4♠ river as his ace-king held up, which boosted his stack to around a million.

Mikhail Shalamov	2,650,000 350,000	350,000
Yisha Chen	1,250,000

Anton Wigg found K♦5♦ on the button and raised to 65,000. Artsiom Lasouski called his big blind with A♥5♥ before he check-called Wigg's bet of 80,000 on the 3♥2♣8♠ flop.

The 7♥ fell on the turn. Lasouski checked again, after which Wigg bet 200,000. Lasouski quickly jammed his combo draw and saw Wigg snap-fold his king-high.

Andrea Dato raised to 60,000 in the hijack and saw Chakib Mhiri defend in the big blind. Dato bet 55,000 on the 8♦9♣K♣ flop and Mhiri check-called.

The A♥ turn and 5♠ river were checked down. Mhiri revealed Q♣5♣ for bottom pair while Dato's 10♦10♣ won him the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded around to Adrien Quetelart in the small blind, who shoved for around 170,000. Timo Kamphues snap-called from the big blind.

Adrien Quetelart: Q♥10♣ All in
Timo Kamphues: K♦7♦

Quetelart was live and did pair his queen on the Q♦8♦K♣ flop, but Kamphues paired his king and picked up a flush draw. The 6♠ river changed nothing, and neither did the J♣ river, which meant Quetelart was eliminated.

Andrea Dato had 9♥9♦ under the gun and decided to raise to 60,000. Lander Lijo flatted A♣Q♠ in the small blind as the two went to a flop of J♠10♥Q♦.

Lijo checked to Dato, who bet 45,000. Lijo called and saw the 5♦ turn emerge from the deck. He checked again and Dato checked back.

The 6♦ completed the board on the river. Lijo bet out for 175,000. Dato pondered his options for a bit but settled on a fold as he forfeited the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas opened for 60,000 in the cutoff with A♥5♦. Andrea Dato called on the button with K♦10♥, after which Tsouloftas bet 80,000 on the K♠7♣10♠ flop.

Dato just called to the 10♦ turn, where he was checked to. He bet 90,000 with his full house, and Tsouloftas opted to stick around and call. Dato then put in a hefty bet of 420,000 on the 8♥ river.

Tsouloftas got rid of his ace-high and the pot was shipped to Dato.
