Level 21 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Vedat Yilmaz defended his big blind to Alessio Isaia's raise to 500,000 from the cutoff. He continued with check-calling bets of 400,000 on the K♦J♠3♣ flop and 900,000 on the A♣ turn before Isaia pushed all in for 4,775,000 on the 9♣ river.

Yilmaz spent one time bank, then let go of his cards as he surrendered another pot.

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

Nichan Khorchidian raised to 600,000 in the cutoff, which Gytis Lazauninkas three-bet to 1,700,000 on the button. Khorchidian announced an all-in bet after spending a time bank, and Lazauninkas snap-called for his stack of 5,500,000.

Gytis Lazauninkas: 9♥9♣ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: A♦6♥

Khorchidian needed an ace to knock out Lazauninkas, but the deck had none in store for him. The runout came 10♣2♣K♥2♥7♣ instead, doubling up Lazauninkas to be among the chipleaders.

Gytis Lazauninkas	11,750,000 7,000,000	7,000,000

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.

Ramzi Karam Eliminated in 7th Place ($50,000)

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

Ramzi Karam	Busted

Lazauninkas Extends Lead With Lead

Level 23 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Oshri Lahmani made it 850,000 to go in the hijack and saw Gytis Lazauninkas defend his big blind. Lahmani made the minimum bet of 400,000 on the J♦9♥J♠ flop, which Lazauninkas check-called.

The 10♠ turn prompted Lazauninkas to lead out for 1,000,000, and Lahmani tossed in calling chips. Lazauninkas then used one of his time banks before going all in on the 8♣ river.

Lahmani's stack of 4,450,000 was covered by the chipleader, and he made a quick fold to preserve his stack of 11 big blinds.
