Tim Baker

Level 30 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Maksim Bura and Mekan Yusupov both got their chips in the middle preflop, with Nariman Yaghmai making the call, looking to potentially score a double knockout.

Maksim Bura: 4♥4♦ All in
Mekan Yusupov: A♥J♥ All in
Nariman Yaghmai: 8♥8♦

If Yaghmai were to lose this hand to both players, he would be left with just four big blinds. The board ran out 7♣J♣Q♥3♦A♣, giving Yusupov a triple up with two pair, and sending Bura out in twelfth place.

Level 30 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Roman Stoika came in with a raise to 2,000,000 from early position and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya three-bet jammed his 13,000,000 from the button. Nemanja Lukovic called his last 7,500,000 from the big blind and Stoika instantly called to put both players at risk.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♦5♦ All in
Nemanja Lukovic: 10♠10♦ All in
Roman Stoika: K♦K♣

Skhulukhiya and Lukovic had gotten it in behind against Stoika's two Cowboys.

The flop came down Q♦J♠5♠ to give Skhulukhiya bottom pair and some backdoor draws. The J♦ landed on the turn to provide Skhulukhiya with a flush draw. However, the 2♣ appeared on the river, meaning Stoika's kings won him the pot, while Skhulukhiya and Lukovic were out.

Level 30 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

David Vinayagamoorthy shoved the button with a huge stack. Emad Ghadamian called his last 4,800,000 from the small blind and Sergey Levin called his last 3,650,000 out of the big blind.

Sergey Levin: K♦Q♥ All in
Emad Ghadamian: 4♠4♣ All in
David Vinayagamoorthy: A♣J♥

Vinayagamoorthy had the chance to send two players to the rail if he could get a favorable runout. The board came 9♣7♣2♠K♥4♦, to give Ghadamian the winner with a set of fours on the river. Ghadamian virtually tripled up, and Levin was sent to the rail.

Level 29 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Andrey Pateychuk came in with a raise from under the gun with Roman Stoika calling from the hijack, before Marcel Grubinger committed his last 1,900,000 from the big blind. Both Pateychuk and Stoika called.

With Grubinger all-in, the flop came down 5♦A♣9♠ and Pateychuk checked. Stoika bet 1,800,000 and Pateychukv called.

The 6♠ hit the turn and Pateychuk checked again. Stoika bet 6,800,000, and after Pateychuk folded, the cards were turned over with Grubinger being at risk.

Marcel Grubinger: K♥2♣ All in
Roman Stoika: K♠J♥

Stoika had Grubinger in terrible shape, and only a deuce on the river could keep him in the tournament. The 4♦ dropped on the river, and that meant the end for Grubinger.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roman Stoika	43,800,000 7,800,000	7,800,000
Andrey Pateychuk	34,000,000 3,000,000	3,000,000

Level 29 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Mekan Yusupov shoved the button and Aliaksandr Yarosh called off his last 6,400,000 from the big blind.

Aliaksandr Yarosh: K♠J♥ All in
Mekan Yusupov: A♦6♣

Yusupov was slightly ahead with ace-high and wanted to fade some paint cards to send the tournament down to two tables.

The Q♠6♥7♦ flop didn't help Yarosh, and neither did the 7♥ turn. After the 9♦ hit the river, the pot was sent to Yusupov, and Yarosh was out.

Mekan Yusupov	21,000,000 13,275,000	13,275,000

Level 29 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Mazen Halabi raised to 1,900,000 under the gun before Ivan Ilichev three-bet jammed for 6,375,000 from the button. Aleksandr Tipikin called for his 1,800,000 from the big blind, and Halabi called with the covering stack.

Ivan Ilichev: K♣Q♥ All in
Aleksandr Tipikin: 7♣6♥ All in
Mazen Halabi: 8♦8♣

Halabi's Snowmen were slightly ahead, and he had the chance to bust two players. The dealer spread out the flop of 9♣9♥4♠, keeping Halabi's eights in the lead. The A♣ turn meant Tipikin was drawing dead, but Ilichev picked up a few counterfeit outs. However, the 9♦ hit the river and Ilichev was also headed to the rail.

Level 29 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

After just doubling up a few hands ago, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya shoved 8,600,000 in from the cutoff before Dori Yacoub moved all in himself for 13,000,000 from the small blind. Andrey Pateychuk took a peek at his cards and then called to put them both at risk.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♠Q♠ All in
Dori Yacoub: A♣8♠ All in
Andrey Pateychuk: A♦K♥

Pateychuk woke up with Big Slick at the perfect time as he had Skhulukhiya and Yacoub crushed. However, the 4♦Q♥10♣5♠3♦ runout gave Skhulukhiya the winner with a pair of queens on the flop.

Skhulukhiya tripled up, and Yacoub was sent to the rail as he lost the sidepot against Pateychuk.

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Dzmitry Budai put his final 5,400,000 into the middle from the hijack and Alexander Goulder called from the cutoff to put him at risk of elimination.

Dzmitry Budai: A♥K♣ All in
Alexander Goulder: K♠J♥

Budai got it in good with Big Slick and just had to fade a jack to keep his final table hopes alive.

The flop came J♦10♦5♣ to propel Goulder into the lead with a pair of jacks. The K♥ on the turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 9♣ river. Budai hit the rail and only twenty players were left.

Can Miral pushed all of his 6,300,000 across the line from early position. Andrey Pateychuk called from the big blind and the cards were revealed.

Can Miral: Q♠J♦ All in
Andrey Pateychuk: 5♦5♣

It was a flip that was for Miral's tournament life. The dealer put out a board of A♠9♠K♦2♠8♥, which meant Pateychuk's fives held up, and Miral was out in twent-second place.

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Aleksei Ovchinnikov shoved his last 3,075,000 from under the gun and Yilu Yuan made the call from the cutoff to try and bust him.

Aleksei Ovchinnikov: 10♥7♥ All in
Yilu Yuan: A♠Q♥

Ovchinnikov was behind with ten-seven suited, but at least his cards were live. The flop came down J♦7♠9♠ to put Ovchinnikov in the lead with a pair of sevens. The K♠ turn gave Yuan a load of outs heading to the river. Yuan managed to find one of those outs on the 10♠, as he improved to a flush.

The pot was sent over to Yuan and Ovchinnikov was headed to the cashier's desk.
