Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov just called from the small blind and Artsiom Lasouski checked out of the big blind.

Kuznetsov bet 5,000 on the A♦Q♣10♦ flop and Lasouski called.

When the 9♥ hit the turn, Kuznetsov shoved for Lasouski's remaining 30,000. Lasouski thought it over for a few moments and then made the call.

Artisiom Lasouski: 10♣6♦ All in
Nikita Kuznetsov: 4♦3♦

Lasauski had made a good call with third pair and just had to fade a diamond on the river. However, the J♦ hit the river to give Kuznetsov the flush, sending Lasouski out of the tournament.

Martin Kabrhel: 4♠4♦ All in
Teun Mulder: A♠K♠

It was a flip that Kabhrel needed to win to stay in the tournament. However, the runout of A♣2♠7♥3♥10♦ gave Mulder the winner with a pair of aces. Mulder pulled in the pot and Kabrhel was eliminated.

Maksim Vaskresenski raised to 6,000 under the gun. Niklas Astedt called from the cutoff for his last 2,000 and Igor Yaroshevskyy defended out of the big blind.

With Astedt all in, Yaroshevskyy and Vaskresenski checked a board of Q♣2♦2♠6♠9♥ all the way to the river before Yaroshevskyy bet 4,000. Vaskresenski raised to 28,000 and Yaroshevskyy instantly folded.

Niklas Astedt: A♠K♥ All in
Maksim Vaskresenski: Q♠9♠

Vaskresenski had two pair, which won him the pot and sent Astedt to the rail as he only had ace-high.

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Espen Jorstad shoved for 18,000 from the cutoff and Igor Yaroshevskyy called on the button before Maksim Vaskresenski three-bet to 48,000 from the small blind. Yaroshevskyy called.

With Jorstad all-in, Vaskresenski bet 25,000 on the 2♦4♥4♣ flop. Yaroshevskyy called again.

The 10♣ came on the turn and Vaskresenski put out another bet, this time for 75,000. Yaroshevskyy thought it over briefly before sliding in the call.

After the 6♣ came on the river, Vaskresenski shoved for 128,500. Yaroshevskyy had slightly more chips than Vaskresenski, and after burning through three of his time extensions, opted to fold his hand.

Espen Jorstad: A♣9♠ All in
Maksim Vaskresenski: A♦K♠

Vaskresenski only had ace-high, but his king-kicker was better than Jorstad's nine-kicker, which meant Vaskresenski dragged in the pot and Jorstad was out.

Player	Chips	Progress
Maksim Vaskresenski	450,000 160,000	160,000
Igor Yaroshevskyy	130,000 120,000	120,000
