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

Roman Stoika called from the small blind and David Vinayagamoorthy checked from the big blind.

The flop came down 9♠10♣4♦ and Stoika bet 1,200,000. Vinayagamoorthy called to see the 3♦ hit the turn. Stoika fired 2,600,000, and Vinayagamoorthy called again.

Stoika checked the 2♠ river and Vinayagamoorthy fired an overbet of 12,000,000. Stoika burned through a few time banks before opting to make the call.

Vinayagamoorthy turned over 4♠2♦ for a rivered two pair, and Stoika mucked A♠9♣ for a pair of nines.

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

Alexander Goulder shoved for 14,500,000 from early position and Mekan Yusupov called from the cutoff.

Alexander Goulder: A♠9♠ All in
Mekan Yusupov: A♥A♦

Goulder had shoved right into Yusupov's bullets and was likely to be going to the cashier's desk very shortly. The J♠3♥7♥ flop meant only running cards could save Goulder.

The 8♠ on the turn was the best card in the deck for Goulder as he picked up straight and flush draws. The river completed one of those said draws, as the 2♠ fell to give Goulder the nuts, cracking the aces of Yusupov.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alexander Goulder	31,000,000 14,000,000	14,000,000
Mekan Yusupov	6,500,000 14,500,000	14,500,000

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mekan Yusupov	21,000,000 13,275,000	13,275,000
Aliaksandr Yarosh	Busted

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

David Vinayagamoorthy shoved the bottom with a stack that covered both blinds. The small blind folded, but Giorgiy Skhulukhiya made the call for his last 7,800,000 from the big blind.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♣10♦ All in
David Vinayagamoorthy: Q♥J♣

Skhulukhiya had survived the last two times he was at risk, and he was the favorite to do it again here. The board ran out 6♣2♣9♦A♦9♥, and Skhulukhiya stayed alive again.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Vinayagamoorthy	36,400,000 4,000,000	4,000,000
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya	17,000,000 8,200,000	8,200,000

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

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised out of the hijack and David Vinayagamoorthy defended from the big blind.

Vinayagamoorthy checked the 10♥4♦6♣ flop, and Skhulukhiya fired a continuation-bet of 2,200,000. Vinayagamoorthy check-raised to 5,900,000, and Skhulukhiya called.

The 4♠ turn checked through for the 2♣ to come on the river. Vinayagamoorthy put out a big bet of 10,500,000, which caused Skhulukhiya to go into the tank. After roughly a minute of thinking, Skhulukhiya made the call.

Vinayagamoorthy showed 4♥3♦ for trip fours to win the pot, as Skhulukhiya mucked A♣3♣.
