Under the gun, Emanvel Hovhannisyan moved all in for 85,000, only receiving action from Vid Zagar, who called off his remaining 73,000.
Vid Zagar: 10♦10♣ 
Emanvel Hovhannisyan: K♦Q♠
The pocket tens held as the board ran out 6♠4♦2♥9♥3♠.
Just as Hovhannisyan had put what was left of his stack in to cover the big blind and ante, the tournament floor gave him a reprieve, as they moved him to another table.
Eduard Litskan shoved in roughly 120,000 preflop for an all-in bet, and Stanislau Shylkou called him.
Eduard Litskan: 10♠10♦
Stanislau Shylkou: A♥K♥
Shylkou paired up on the 3♦A♣9♥ flop, and neither the 5♦ turn nor Q♠ river could save Litskan's tens.
Litskan had not yet departed the table when Anze Smajd also lost his remaining chips in the very next hand, while Charles La Boissonniere was eliminated at another table not much later.
When the action folded to Hugo Blaison in the cutoff, he moved all in for 60,000. Next to act, Vid Zagar also moved all in for 143,000. The players in the blinds folded, and the cards were revealed.
Hugo Blaison: K♣J♠
Vid Zagar: 9♠9♣
The jack-high 4♦J♣5♦ flop saw Blaison take the lead, and it remained that way on the 5♠ turn and 7♣ river.
Paraskevas Tsokaridis raised to 16,000 in early position. Anze Smajd flat-called in the next seat over, and Eduard Litskan joined in on the button. The trio then checked through the K♥8♠4♣ flop, leading to the 5♥ appearing on the turn.
Tsokaridis then bet 23,000, Smajd called, and Litskan folded. The 7♣ river slowed Tsokaridis down as he checked it over to his opponent.
Smajd spent some time before going all in, covering his opponent's stack of 113,000. Tsokaridis quickly folded, leaving himself with less than 15 big blinds.
Keith Johnson raised to 16,000 in the hijack, and both Jose Malpelli in the cutoff and Yi Ye in the big blind called.
Ye checked to Johnson, who bet another 16,000 on the 10♣9♦7♦ flop. Malpelli called again, and Ye then went into the tank.
With less than one big blind in her stack, but with the tournament poised on a pay jump, Ye spread all her time extensions out in front of her. One by one, the dealer took them, before Ye then put her 7,000 into the middle.
The Q♥ turn card joined the board, and Johnson check-folded to a bet of 25,000.
Yi Ye: K♣6♣
Jose Malpelli: 3♠3♦
The pocket threes held up on the 5♥ river, and Ye was eliminated.
Seeing the completed board of A♦5♦4♠2♣9♥, with around 200,000 in the pot, Tahar Said checked under the gun before Renzo Pedrotti moved all in for 158,000 in the hijack.
Said went deep into the tank, spending several time banks before flicking in a calling chip. Pedrotti tabled J♠J♦ for a pair of jacks, which won him the pot, as Said had put his opponent on pure air and called with K♣10♥.
Level: 18
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
In the 963rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are back to talk about the recent concerns and unanswered questions surrounding CoinPoker. The offshore site has come under fire for deceptive and unclear marketing, as well as concerns over player funds. Poker pro Manig Loeser recently spoke out about them, and there's been mounting pressure on social media from the likes of Pokerbots1 and Todd Witteles accounts.
The crew also takes a look at the set-over-set cooler that benefited Alan Keating in a $1.2M pot, poker thriving in Texas with the WSOP Circuit at TCH, and the High Roller for One Drop at the EPT Monte Carlo. Speaking of big tournament series, PokerNews is on-site in the southern hemisphere at the recently relaunched Aussie Millions. Chad turned to his colleagues in the land down under for an update on all things Aussie Millions.
Finally, mark your calendar for the upcoming Mixed Game Festival XIV, which will kick off at the end of the month and continue into the summer.
