Big stacks Daniel Rezaei and Masashi Oya are now at the same table, and about 170,000 was already in the middle on 9♦A♠Q♦6♥3♣ in a hand between Rezaei in the cutoff and Oya in the big blind.
Oya checked to Rezaei, who pondered the position for a moment, but decided to check back. It proved a good decision as Oya showed A♥6♣ for two pair, saying "No good?" while Rezaei smiled and mucked his hand, flashing the A♦.
Level: 18
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Shyngis Satubayev raised to 12,000 from under the gun, receiving calls from Masashi Oya in the cutoff and Daniel Rezaei, in the big blind.
The action checked to Satubayev, who continued for 15,000 on the A♣6♠4♣ flop. Oya responded with a raise to 40,000. Rezaei got out of the way in a snap, and Satubayev quickly followed behind.
Action folded to Andrew Chen in the hijack, who opened to 12,000, and received calls from Vladimir Troyanovskiy and Sergey Lebedev in the blinds.
Action was checked to Chen on the 2♣4♥9♦ flop, who slid out a bet of 18,000. Only Lebedev called.
The 7♥ turn was checked through by both players, as was the 2♠ river. Lebedev showed 6♣6♦ for a pair of sixes, and that was sufficient for Chen to muck his hand.
The pot had already swelled to 180,000 with two players looking at a board of K♥2♣3♠2♣.
Vladimir Troyanovskiy, who was under the gun, bet out for 55,000. Maher Nouira, in the hijack, made the call.
The 6♣ river slowed down Troyanovskiy with a check. Nouira moved all in for approximately 90,000. Troyanovskiy looked frustrated to have to make the fold, pitching his cards into the muck.
Cards were on their backs and Daniel Kyosev was all in for around 100,000 and at risk versus Daniel Rezaei.
Daniel Kyosev: Q♦J♦ 
Daniel Rezaei: 8♠8♣
Rezaei was ahead in a race, and the 4♠A♠5♠4♥A♥ runout was a brick for Kyosev, sending him to the rail and allowing Rezaei to move towards Masashi Oya at the top of the standings.
Action was on the turn on a board of 10♥10♦J♦8♥. Rafael Moraes shoved for the rest of his opponent's stack. Christopher Puetz made the call for 102,000 chips.
Moraes showed 10♠5♠ for trip tens, but Puetz turned over Q♠10♣ for trip tens with the queen kicker.
The river came the A♠ and Puetz held to win the pot and double up his stack.
Kayhan Mokri opened to 13,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 36,000 by Yauheni Tsiareshchanka in the small blind. After some thought Mokri called.
On the 9♠K♠7♥ flop, Tsiareshchanka continued with a bet of 20,000 and Mokri called.
The 2♠ rolled off on the turn, and Tsiareshchanka checked his option. Mokri slid out a bet of 21,000, and Tsiareshchanka called.
The 4♣ completed the board and Tsiareshchanka checked to his opponent. Mokri moved all in, and Tsiareshchanka flicked in a calling chip.
Mokri showed 4♦4♥ for the rivered set of fours and Tsiareshchanka mucked his hand and departed the table.
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 12,000 from middle position and Lewis Spencer defended in the big blind.
Spencer check-called a bet of 6,000 from Badziakouski on the A♠A♥5♠ flop.
The A♣ turn checked through to the 9♦ on the river. Spencer bet out 12,000 and Badziakouski took his time before making the call. Spencer tabled 3♥3♣, which was seemingly good enough to see Badziakouski's cards into the muck.
