Mohamed Mokrani had raised his button when he called the three-bet to 95,000 from Andrey Pateychuk in the big blind. Pateychuk bet 20,000 on the 2♥K♦6♥ flop and 55,000 on the 5♥ turn, both times being called by Mokrani.
Mokrani then put Pateychuk all-in for 165,000 once he had checked to him, which Pateychuk called after some thought.
Mokrani tabled A♥3♥ for the nut flush, while Pateychuk only briefly flashed his cards before taking his exit.

Nadar Kakhmazov placed a bet of 32,000 from the big blind on a 2♣10♣6♥ flop. Alexey Savenkov then check-raised to 118,000 from the small blind, which Kakhmazov called.
Savenkov then moved in on the 3♠ turn, and Kakhmazov instantly called off his stack of 375,000.
Nadar Kakhmazov: Q♥10♥
Alexey Savenkov: 10♠6♠
Kakhmazov's top pair did not improve on the K♠ river, and he was consequently sent home.

Joshua Stewart in the big blind and Konstantin Voronin in the cutoff had gotten it all in preflop, with Stewart's 620,000 being at risk.
Joshua Stewart: A♦K♥
Konstantin Voronin: 10♠10♣
The deck had no aces or kings in store for Stewart, eliminating him when the runout emerged 4♦J♠4♥2♠7♣.

Michel Atallah in the big blind and Nadar Kakhmazov under the gun had reached the Q♣5♥3♣ flop when Atallah checked. Kakhmazov then bet 32,000, which Atallah raised to 64,000.
Kakhmazov called to the 6♦ turn, where Atallah continued firing, putting in a bet of 100,000. Kakhmazoc quickly shoved all in, and Atallah snap-called.
Michel Atallah: Q♥5♦
Nadar Kakhmazov: 6♠3♥
Both players had made two pair, but Atallah had the higher cards. The 3♦ river made only Kakhmazov a full house, however, and an audidbly displeased Atallah had no option but to head to the rail.

Roman Stoika opened to 20,000 in the cutoff. Vladislav Dubanov three-bet to 60,000 on the button, which Abdullah Alajmi cold-called in the small blind. Stoika then moved all in, covering both opponents.
Dubanov called off his stack of 400,000 after some thought, and Alajmi quickly followed suit, playing slightly less.
Abdullah Alajmi: K♦10♥
Vladislav Dubanov: K♠K♥
Roman Stoika: J♠J♥
The kings of Dubanov had both others in dire shape. The 2♠J♣Q♥ flop decimated his hand, however, flopping Stoika a set and Alajmi an open-ender.
The 2♣ turn left Alajmi without hope as Stoike made a full house, and the 5♠ river did not bring Dubanov his desired king, knocking him out as well.

$2,200 Luxon Pay Grand Final winner Ivan Bryksin sat in the big blind and was heads-up against Kirill Solovev on the button.
Bryksin fired 110,000 into the 240,000 pot on a completed board of 9♥A♠5♦A♦Q♦, and was instantly raised all-in for 285,000 by his opponent.
Some Russian profanities escaped Bryksin before he exclaimed, "Snap all-in, it's never a bluff."
Despite his intuition, he eventually slammed in a call. Solovev indeed had no bluff as he tabled 9♦9♣ for a full house. Bryksin revealed A♥7x before he got up and quickly vacated the tournament area.
