Assyl Tleuzhanov raised to 2,000,000 on the button, and Kirill Shcherbakov responded with a three-bet of 7,500,000, which Tleuzhanov called.
On the 8♣4♦K♠ flop, Tleuzhanov called the 3,000,000 bet of Shcherbakov.

With about 5,000,000 in the pot, the turn read 5♣4♥3♥6♣, and Azamat Lamkov led for 4,000,000. Kirill Shcherbakov made the call.
The 3♠ completed the board, and Lamkov continued for 8,500,000. Shcherbakov thought about it for a few seconds before dropping a chip across the line.
"You call?" Asked Lamkov in excitment before pushing the turn and river to side as if to say, 'I didn't need that' while showing 7♣6♠ for a flopped straight.

Paul Runcan shoved 5,600,000 under the gun, and the action folded around to Yuhang Chen who slid a stack across the line for a raise to 10,500,000. The table quickly folded behind.
"That's not good," Said Runcan before the cards were tabled. "I need a queen."
Paul Runcan: A♥Q♣
Yuhang Chen: K♠K♣
"Nevermind, not a queen," he said with a laugh.
Runcan hit his ace as the dealer spread the A♠K♥6♦ flop, but it came with a king behind it. The J♥ turn gave Runcan a chance as he picked up a straight draw but the J♦ river improved Chen to a full house.

Andrei Gladyshev opened 2,000,000 under the gun, and Leon Sturm three-bet 6,000,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Gladyshev who made the call.
The dealer spread the 6♦2♦2♥ flop, and Gladyshev put out a small bet of 1,500,000. Sturm announced all-in, and that was enough to earn the pot as Gladyshev's cards hit the muck.

The action folded around to Stephen Song and he announced all-in. Iurii Suvorov who was in the big blind had just built his stack back to 10,300,000 called it off to be at risk once again.
Iurii Suvorov: K♠J♥
Stephen Song: 10♣4♣
Suvorov was ahead with king-high, but the Q♣9♥4♥ flop gave Song the lead with a pair of fours. The 6♦ turn changed nothing, but the K♦ river improved Suvorov to stay seated.
"My dad won't be happy about that one," Joked Song to the table, "He'll say '10-4, what are you doing!'"
