Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kirill Shcherbakov was all in on the button for 875,000, at risk against Vedat Yilmaz in the hijack.

Kirill Shcherbakov: A♦J♣ All in
Vedat Yilmaz: 6♥6♣

It was Shcherbakov's flip to lose after the 7♥J♦8♥ flop paired him up, but that is exactly what he did when Yilmaz rivered a full house after the 8♣ turn and 6♦ river, sending a muttering Shcherbakov to the exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Nichan Khorchidian put Mikalai Vaskaboinikau all-in from the small blind, with the latter quickly calling off his 750,000 chips in the big blind.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: Q♣10♥ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: Q♠4♠

Vaskaboinikau's domination did not last long, as the 7♠4♥3♣ flop paired Khorchidian's four. The 6♣ turn and 9♥ river could not save Vaskaboinikau, who quickly departed from the tournament as two tables remained.

Mohamed Mokrani: K♦4♥ All in
Yury Artamonov: 10♥10♦ All in

Alessio Isaia made it 125,000 from the hijack and Natan Chauskin shoved for around 1,100,000 from the small blind. Isaia snap-called.

Natan Chauskin: 10♥10♦ All in
Alessio Isaia: A♠A♦

Chauskin was crushed by Isaia's aces. The runout of 5♦K♣2♠7♦K♠ didn't help Chauskin, and was out in 18th place.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Three-way to a flop of A♣J♣7♥, Roman Stoika checked from the big blind to Dzmitry Budai in middle position. He fired a bet of 200,000, which Konstantin Voronin called on the button.

Stoika then spent a few time banks before announcing his all-in for 865,000. Budai quickly reshoved, forcing Voronin to fold his A♠4♠.

Roman Stoika: A♥3♥ All in
Dzmitry Budai: K♣7♣

Budai locked up the pot on the 5♣ turn, with the 10♣ river giving him an extra club for show. Stoika tossed his cards in the muck before he left the tournament area, muttering to himself.

When it folded to Andrey Pateychuk in the small blind he shoved all his 800,000 into the middle with just Nikita Kalinin to get through in the big blind. Kalinin called to put Pateychuk at risk.

Andrey Pateychuk: A♣Q♠ All in
Nikita Kalinin: 2♥2♦

Pateychuk found himself in a flip against Kalinin's deuces. The board ran out 7♦10♥8♠J♦4♠ to keep Kalinin's deuces ahead the whole way, and Pateychuk was out in 20th place.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Aren Bezhanyan raised to 120,000 in the hijack. Gytis Lazauninkas then three-bet shoved for 590,000 in the cutoff, after which Ravil Khamatgareev called all-in for 415,000 in the big blind.

Bezhanyan gave it some thought, but ultimately folded his hand to let the two short stacks battle it out.

Ravil Khamatgareev: K♣Q♥ All in
Gytis Lazauninkas: 8♠8♦

Khematgareev did not receive help on the 9♣3♥6♣ flop or 4♦ turn, and the 8♣ river made Lazauninkas a set to lock up the pot and knock Khamatgareev out.

Aleksandr Blokhin tossed in his last 675,000 from the big blind and was looked up by Bernard Larabi on the button.

Aleksandr Blokhin: K♣10♣ All in
Bernard Larabi: 9♠9♣

Larabi's set on the A♦4♥2♥9♥ turn left Blokhin without outs, rendering the 7♣ river but a formality and sending Blokhin to the rail. Just Prior, Jessica Teusl was also eliminated from the High Roller, picking up her min-cash.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ami Barer got his stack of 755,000 in from the cutoff and was at risk against Mohamed Mokrani on the button.

Ami Barer: 10♠10♣ All in
Mohamed Mokrani: A♣7♣

Barer needed to fade an ace to survive the bubble, but the flop had bad news with A♦3♠3♥. He was drawing to just a ten, but the deck had none in store on the 7♥ turn or K♥ river, making Barer the official bubble boy.

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nikita Kalinin had opened, and Cedric Schwaederle had three-bet when Kalinin responded by putting Schwaederle all-in for 1,575,000. Schwaederle instantly called, revealing the cards.

Cedric Schwaederle: Q♦Q♣ All in
Nikita Kalinin: K♠J♠

Schwaederle was looking to get a vital double-up two spots before the money, but he was left drawing slim after the J♦J♣6♠ flop gave Kalinin trips.

Schwaederle needed a queen to survive, but no ladies arrived on the 8♦7♠ runout, sending him to the rail and leaving the High Roller on the stone bubble.
