Konstantin Voronin: 9♦7♦ All in
Yiannis Liperis: A♠10♣

Level 24 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Gytis Lazauninkas had raised to 1,000,000 when Oshri Lahmani moved his stack of 6,700,000 in the middle. It folded back to Lazuninkas, who snap-called.

Oshri Lahmani: A♥Q♠ All in
Gytis Lazauninkas: A♠A♣

The chipleader had found aces and left Lahmani without hope after the 3♠K♠6♠8♥ turn left him drawing dead. The 7♥ river was completed for show as Lahmani said his goodbyes to the final table.

Level 22 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Gytis Lazauninkas opened to 600,000 in middle position. Ramzi Karam then committed his remaining 2,750,000 to the middle, which Konstantin Voronin called in the small blind.

Lazauninkas quickly decided to let the other two fight it out, which they did when they went to showdown.

Ramzi Karam: J♠J♦ All in
Konstantin Voronin: A♠Q♠

The 3♦K♦7♦ flop left Vornin with fewer outs, and the 7♣ turn did not provide relief either. The A♥ river did, though, as he hit one of his four outs in the deck to eliminate Karam in seventh place.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gytis Lazauninkas	15,375,000 625,000	625,000
Konstantin Voronin	12,500,000 3,350,000	3,350,000

Level 22 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Vedat Yilmaz was down to 3,500,000, which he shoved in from the cutoff. It folded to chipleader Gytis Lazauninkas in the big blind, who snapped it off.

Vedat Yilmaz: A♠3♥ All in
Gytis Lazauninkas: A♦K♠

Yilmaz's dominated ace flopped a gutshot on 5♦2♦10♠, and the 5♥ turn brought some chop outs. The 9♠ river did not help him out, however, and he ended as the first elimination of the final table.

Level 20 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

It folded to Alessio Isaia, who open-shoved in the small blind. Nikita Kalinin quickly called off his stack of 2,600,000 in the big blind, and the cards were tabled.

Nikita Kalinin: 10♠10♣ All in
Alessio Isaia: A♠9♣

Isaia sighed and stood up, but soon sat back down as the J♣5♥A♦ flop paired his ace and gave him a big lead. The 3♠ turn left Kalinin with just a ten as an out, but the Q♣ river did not bring one, eliminating him as the final table bubble.

Level 19 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Bernard Larabi opened to 300,000 under the gun, seeing Yiannis Liperis call in the seat next to him. It folded to Konstantin Voronin in the small blind, who piled in a three-bet to 1,700,000.

Larabi then spent one time bank before moving all in for 4,300,000, and Voronin called with the covering stack after Liperis had folded.

Bernard Larabi: A♥A♦ All in
Konstantin Voronin: K♠K♦

It was hold 'em's ultimate cooler. Voronin shot up from his seat when the K♥5♦6♥ flop gave him a set, putting him in prime position to crack Larabi's aces.

Voronin officially won the pot when the 7♣ turn and 3♣ river could not save Larabi, who took a sour exit in tenth place.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Maksim Shornikau was down to 800,000 chips, which he shoved in from the cutoff. Nichan Khorchidian in the big blind snap-called, revealing the hands.

Maksim Shornikau: A♣Q♣ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: 3♠3♣

"Too many outs," Khorchidian said after the K♠9♣7♠6♣ turn gave Shornikau a flush draw to go with his overcards.

The 9♥ river indeed missed Shornikau, resulting in his exit in 11th place.

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Oshri Lahmani raised to 250,000 in the hijack, which Alessio Isaia three-bet to 800,000 in the cutoff. Small blind Aren Bezhanyan then tossed in his last 1,620,000, folding out Lahmani.

Isaia made a quick call, however, and the cards were opened.

Aren Bezhanyan: 9♠9♣ All in
Alessio Isaia: A♣10♠

The players were flipping, and the 4♥5♥Q♣ flop remained clean for Bezhanyan. The 10♦ turn did not, as it paired up Isaia. The 2♥ river did not save Bezhanyan, who said his goodbyes in 12th place.

Alessio Isaia	6,900,000 1,350,000	1,350,000

Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Bernard Larabi opened to 250,000 on the button. Dzmitry Budai sat in the big blind and three-bet to 1,150,000, after which Larabi moved all in. Budai's stack of 3,750,000 was slightly covered, and he called off to put himself at risk.

Dzmitry Budai: 10♥10♦ All in
Bernard Larabi: J♠J♥

Budai was heavily dominated. The K♠9♦Q♦ flop reversed the players' outs, but the 6♥5♦ runout brought none of them. Budai headed to the exit with a sad demeanor, while Larabi as good as doubled up.
