Iurii Suvorov: J♠J♥
Kirill Shcherbakov: A♠Q♣
Suvorov was able to fade the two overs as the board ran out K♣6♣4♦2♦5♦, sending a massive double his way.
Leon Sturm opened A♣9♥ to 4,000,000 from under the gun, and Kirill Shcherbakov three-bet A♥J♠ to 11,500,000 from the cutoff.
The action folded back back to Sturm as he put in a four-bet to 23,000,000, forcing Shcherbakov to fold the best hand.
Damir Gabdullin raised to 9,000,000 in early position, leaving just 100,000 and called off the rest when Leon Sturm raised from the big blind.

Leon Sturm: A♥9♥
Gabdullin had run into a bigger ace-high, and the K♠10♦4♥10♠5♣ run out was no help for Gabdullin as he exited the tournament in
Azamat Lamkov opened A♥Q♠ under the gun, and Kirill Shcherbakov called with 8♦8♠ on the button.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♠3♥2♠, and both players checked to see the 4♥ turn.
Lamkov checked once again, and Shcherbakov fired 7,000,000. Lamkov put in a check-raise to 17,000,000, putting the decision back on Shcherbakov. After checking his cards, and using a couple of time banks, he moved all-in, forcing Lamkov to muck his hand.
Kirill Shcherbakov rasied 8,200,000 from the small blind, and Birger Larsen called his stack of 6,200,000 in the big blind.
Birger Larsen: A♣Q♦
Kirill Shcherbakov: K♣10♥
The 10♣9♣4♣ flop paired ten for Shcherbakov as he took the lead. The 5♠ turn wasn't looking good for Larsen, although he had confidence as he sat back down before the A♦ peeled off on the river.
Leon Sturm opened 4,000,000 under the gun, and Assyl Tleuzhanov called off his last 2,800,000 from a couple of spots to his left.
Assyl Tleuzhanov: A♠6♠
Leon Sturm: J♥10♦
The 4♠4♥2♠ flop was a great one for Tleuzhanov as he flopped a flush draw but the 10♥ turn gave Sturm the best hand as he paired his ten. Tleuzhanov couldn't improve as the 8♣ fell on the river.
Birger Larsen limped from early position, and Damir Gabdullin checked his option from the big blind.
The A♦K♥9♦ flop hit the felt, and Gabdullin checked to Larsen who jammed for 1,600,000. Gabdullin thought about it for a few moments before making the call.
Birger Larsen: Q♥J♠
Damir Gabdullin: J♣2♥
Larsen was way ahead with queen-high, and the 7♦ turn and 9♠ river changed nothing, sending the double toward Larsen.
