Pavel Plesuv got his last 123,000 chips in the middle preflop with K♦10♦ against the A♥K♥ of Viacheslav Buldygin.

Nikita Kuznetsov raised to 8,000 under the gun and Igor Yaroshevskyy called from the hijack.

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov opened and called a three-bet shove from Igor Yaroshevskyy for Yaroshevskyy's last 92,000.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: A♥K♣ All in
Nikita Kuznetsov: 7♥7♦

Kuznetsov grabbed his chips to start counting out his opponent's double when the A♣5♠2♥ flop appeared. For Yaroshevskyy's part, he jokingly headed to the exit as the 9♠ turn was dealt, but with the 4♣ sealing his double, he returned to his seat.

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov raised to 8,000 from early position and only Paulius Plausinaitis called out of the big blind.

After Plausinaitis checked the J♥4♥4♣ flop, Kuznetsov bet 5,000. Plausinaitis check-raised to 15,000 and Kuznetsov called.

Plausinaitis bet out for 25,000 on the 9♣ turn and Kuznetsov called again.

The K♠ river saw Plausinaitis check and Kuznetsov bet enough to put Plausinaitis all in. Plausinaitis had roughly 65,000 remaining in his stack, and after thinking it over for around a minute, he folded his cards.

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sergey Lebedev raised to 9,000 on the button and Martin Kabrhel shoved for 93,000 from the small blind. Teun Mulder moved all in over the top with the covering stack from the big blind, which forced Lebedev to fold.

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.
