Peters Busts Tamasian

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tobias Peters initiated the action from middle position with an open raise of 40,000. Garik Tamasian responded with a three-bet to 130,000. Peters then went all in with 775,000, and Tamasian called.

Garik Tamasian: A♦K♥ All in
Tobias Peters: A♠Q♠

The board favored Peters, granting him a queen on the river, with the board showing 2♥5♠J♦2♣Q♣. However, the tension continued. Tamasian initially thought he had Peters covered, but upon a recount by the dealer, it was revealed that Tamasian had only 765,000. Peters covered him by 10,000 chips, sending Tamasian to the rail.

Small blind: A♦K♦ All in
Natan Chauskin: A♥K♥

Both players had the same hand, so they split the pot on a board of 6♠4♣5♥9♦6♦.

Cutoff: J♦J♠

The board of 9♦8♦J♣A♦7♥ was no help for Brechalov, as his opponent flopped a set to send him to the rail.

Sava Krink

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After Aleksandr Zhilin raised from the cutoff to 50,000, Iurii Okolovich decided to go all in with his remaining 250,000, which Zhilin called.

Iurii Okolovich: K♥K♣ All in
Aleksandr Zhilin: K♦Q♥

Zhilin was hoping for assistance from the board, and the flop appeared promising with QxA♠9♥, but he still needed another queen to eliminate Okolovich. Unfortunately for Zhilin, the turn and river did not grant his wish, revealing 3♥2♦. As a result, Okolovich doubled up and left Zhilin with nearly starting stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Iurii Okolovich	560,000 560,000	560,000
Aleksandr Zhilin	375,000

Sturm Eliminated

Sava Krink

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Leon Sturm joined the flight quite late, with only 30 minutes remaining for late registration. Despite initially amassing a promising stack, his fortune seemed short-lived.

Vadzim Godzdanker initiated the action from early position with a raise to 50,000. Sturm quickly went all in with his remaining 410,000 chips, and Godzdanker made the call.

Sturm revealed Q♠Q♦, while Godzdanker showed A♣K♣, setting the stage for a classic flip. Throughout the hand, it appeared that the queens would emerge victorious as the board displayed 4♥9♣10♠6♠. However, the river brought the K♥, securing a pair of kings for Godzdanker.

Despite his elimination, there's still a possibility that Sturm may appear on the seat draw for Day 2, as late registration for the turbo flight remained open.

Player	Chips	Progress
Vadzim Godzdanker	2,100,000 2,100,000	2,100,000
