Frank Visser

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

Aren Bezhanyan opened to 200,000 in the cutoff. It folded to Oshri Lahmani in the cutoff, who jammed in his stack of 1,365,000, which Bezhanyan quickly called.

Oshri Lahmani: A♣Q♥ All in
Aren Bezhanyan: A♠J♦

Lahmani's superior ace held through the K♦9♦5♥8♥3♣ board to double him up, leaving Bezhanyan with about 12 big blinds.

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.

Nichan Khorchidian opened to 225,000 in the cutoff. Aren Bezhanyan then three-bet to 825,000 in the small blind, to which Khorchidian responded by four-bet shoving for around 4,500,000 effectively.

Bezhanyan spent a few time banks before folding his 10♥10♠ face up, and Khorchidian was kind enough to show his A♥Q♥ as well.

Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Nichan Khorchidian raised to 160,000 in the cutoff and was met with a three-bet to 475,000 by Mikalai Vaskaboinikau on the button. It folded back to Khorchidian, who flicked in a call.

He then checked the 8♣Q♥4♥ flop to Vaskaboinikau, who continued for 375,000. Khorchidian called to the 8♥ turn, which he also checked.

Vaskaboinikau upped the ante to 525,000, which Khorchidian raised to 1,800,000. Vaskaboinikau then made a massive shove, and Khorchidian snapped off his 4,050,000 chips.

Nichan Khorchidian: A♥10♥ All in
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: K♠Q♦

Vaskaboinikau needed a queen or eight to best the flush of Khorchidian, but the river came the 9♥ instead. Khorchidian doubled to a gargantuan stack of eight figures, leaving Vaskaboinikau with just over ten big blinds.
