Mihai Tabac opened to 600,000 under the gun, and coolstorybro three-bet jammed for 4,825,000 in the small blind. Big blind Mystery Kid requested a count, then called, and Tabac quickly folded.
Coolstorybro: Q♥J♠
Mystery Kid: 8♥8♣
Coolstorybro flopped an open-ender on K♥10♦10♥, as well as counterfeit outs, but the 3♦ turn and 6♥ river brought no further help. Coolstorybro was eliminated in fourth place, and Mystery Kid gained a decent chip lead three-handed.
Mihai Tabac opened to 500,000 under the gun. Mystery Kid called in the big blind, and he check-called when Tabac continued for 325,000 on the 8♣K♦5♥ flop.
Tabac sized up to 1,000,000 on the 2♦ turn, but it was not enough to deter Mystery Kid from check-calling again. Mystery Kid checked again on the A♠ river, and Tabac completed his triple-barrel with a bet of 1,600,000.
After spending a time bank, Mystery Kid moved all in for 4,125,000. Tabac requested a count, but he ultimately deemed it not worth the risk, and he conceded the pot with a fold.
After having doubled MajikMike with king-jack against pocket kings earlier, Paul Runcan was left short. He then pushed all in for 1,650,000 from the cutoff, and MajikMike called him in the big blind.
Paul Runcan: J♥10♣
MajikMike: A♥3♠
Runcan missed the 4♣5♥6♠ flop and the 8♥ turn, and the A♣ river gave MajikMike top pair, securing the elimination.
Mihai Tabac opened to 500,000 in the cutoff. It folded to big blind Martynas Racinskas, who spent a time bank before moving all his 1,400,000 chips in the middle.
Tabac requested a count, then called after some thought.
Martynas Racinskas: A♦3♥
Mihai Tabac: J♣4♣
Racinskas made two pair on the K♥A♥10♣3♣ turn, but it also gave Tabac a flush draw. However, the A♠ river improved Racinskas to a full house, and he doubled up.
The next hand, Racinskas got his chips in the middle again. This time, he was all in for 3,150,000 from the small blind against Mystery Kid under the gun.
Martynas Racinskas: 9♥9♦
Mystery Kid: K♦K♣
The deck was not as favorable for Racinskas this time, as it ran out 10♣A♠J♦3♦7♠ to eliminate him.
Paul Runcan opened to 500,000 on the button and quickly called when Mystery Kid moved all in for 1,875,000 in the small blind.
Mystery Kid: 8♠8♥
Paul Runcan: A♥10♦
Runcan flopped best on 3♥6♠10♠, and the A♠ turn improved him to two pair. Mystery Kid rivered a flush on the 9♠ river, however, doubling up to remain in contention.
