Mohamed Mokrani made it 125,000 from the hijack and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau three-bet 375,000 from the small blind. Mokrani four-bet jammed to put Vaskaboinikau all in for his remaining 2,500,000, and Vaskaboinikau went into the tank. After burning through around four of his time banks, Vaskaboinikau made the call.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♥Q♣
Mohamed Mokrani: A♣K♣
Vaskaboinikau was behind with his ace-queen to the Big Slick of Mokrani and looked likely to be headed to the payout desk.
However, the flop of Q♦2♥7♦ gave Vaskaboinikau top pair and catapulted him into the lead. The rest of the board came 7♣5♣, and Vaskaboinikau doubled up in a huge pot.

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♦
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.

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♥
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♠
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.

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♥
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.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 120,000 in the cutoff. Mohamed Mokrani defended his big blind before he check-called Vaskabonikau's bet of 80,000 on the 3♠8♠J♥ flop.
Vaskaboinikau sized up to 225,000 on the 4♦ turn, again seeing Mokrani check-call. Vaskaboinikau then slammed in 1,000,000 on the 2♥ river after a third check from Mokrani.
Mokrani made the fold this time, and the pot was shipped to Vaskaboinikau.
