Gerald Karlic opened to 240,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Ihor Prokopchuk shoved for approximately 2,500,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back over to Karlic, who called to put Prokopchuk at risk.
Ihor Prokopchuk: A♠Q♥
Gerald Karlic: 8♣8♠
It was a fair fight, but the 7♦7♥4♥5♥6♦ runout left Karlic best with a straight and Prokopchuk was eliminated.

Lars Sommer jammed for 1,225,000 from under the gun and he was called by Jakub Sterba on the button.
Lars Sommer: A♠Q♦
Jakub Sterba: K♦K♣
Sommer was on the edge of elimination after the flop of 3♥6♣7♥ and the 4♣ turn. But the 5♠ river completed the straight on the board, so Sommer and Sterba split the pot.
A few hands later however, Sommer was eliminated.

Around 2,000,000 was in the middle on a board of J♠4♠4♦5♣, and Ricardo Caridade called versus a bet of 800,000 from Jakub Sterba.
The 9♠ river was checked through. Sterba tabled K♣10♣ for king-high, while Caridade was pleased and surprised to take the pot with A♣10♠ for ace-high.

Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 21st episode, Connor speaks with Survivor legend Boston Rob, aka Rob Mariano, about growing up near Fenway Park, learning poker at the age of 6, studying psychology at Boston University, applying for Survivor and winning Season 22, his recent appearance on Deal or No Deal Island and filming an upcoming season of The Traitors.
Boston Rob also revealed a story about Costa Rican authorities raiding a mansion known to host high-stakes poker games during a 2006 filming that included Daniel Negreanu, Josh Arieh, David Williams, Michael Mizrachi and actress Cheryl Hines.
"(Gambling mogul) Calvin (Ayre) had a big party at the house, and they came in guns drawn," he said. "And we were fine, but we all had to stay at the party until they checked our passports and everything. I think it was a little bit of a shakedown. But we had a good weekend."
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Boston Rob by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
Istvan Pilhofer shoved for his last 2,170,000 from under the gun and it was folded around to Michael Sklenicka in the cutoff, who went all in for more. Everyone else got out of the way and hands were revealed.
Istvan Pilhofer: K♠Q♠
Michael Sklenicka: A♣A♠
It was unfortunate timing for Pilhofer, and the 8♠7♦5♦7♣4♦ runout changed nothing to award Sklenicka the knockout.
