When the action switched over to the table, Dmitry Kukhtarev's remaining stack of 7,200,000 had been put at risk on a board of K♣8♦6♣4♣. He was up against Nasser Al Mujaibel, who had him covered.
Dmitry Kukhtarev: K♠J♦ 
Nasser Al Mujaibel: K♥Q♥
Both players had top pair, but Al Mujaibel's kicker remained in play on the 5♠ river, sending the start-of-day chipleader to the exit.
It folded to Adrian Strobel in the small blind, who pushed in his stack of 9,400,000. Julian Menhardt quickly called in the big blind to put his neighbor at risk.
Adrian Strobel: J♠J♦
Julian Menhardt: Q♥J♣
Strobel saw his back-to-back final table dreams crushed as the 9♦7♦4♥2♦6♦ runout gave upgraded Menhardt to a flush.
Leonid Sidelkovskii moved his last 5,800,000 in on the button and was snap-called by Alvaro Gonza in the big blind.
Leonid Sidelkovskii: J♠9♥
Alvaro Gonza: J♥J♣
The 2♠4♣K♥10♣ turn brought Sidelkovskii a glimmer of hope, but he could not reverse the domination of Gonza's jacks, sending him to the rail in 14th place.
Level: 29
Blinds: 400,000/800,000
Ante: 800,000
In what appeared to be a three-way three-bet pot, Nasser Al Mujaibel in the small blind, Martynas Vitkauskas in the big blind, and Dmitry Kukhtarev all checked the A♠9♣10♥ flop.
The 5♠ fell on the turn, and Al Mujaibel decided to add his 9,700,000 chips to the pot of 16,000,000 with A♥4♥. Vitkauskas got rid of his J♠J♣, and Kukhtrarev quickly tossed his K♥J♥ in the muck as well.
Ivan Bryksin sat under the gun and raised to 1,400,000. Adrian Strobel flat-called on the button before Julian Menhardt three-bet to 8,000,000 in the small blind, leaving only 1,000,000 behind.
Bryksin quickly mucked his A♠10♦, but Strobel put his opponent all-in, receiving a quick call.
Julian Menhardt: K♠K♣
Adrian Strobel: A♥J♥
Neither player received any help from the 6♦9♦Q♠2♠6♣ board. Menhardt's kings comfortable held as he doubled up and vurtually traded stacks with Strobel.
Staring at A♠7♦ on the button, Dmitry Kukhtarev made it 1,200,000 to go. Konstantin Voronin defended his 7♠4♠ in the big blind before he check-called Kukhtarev's continuation-bet of 1,100,000 on the 4♦9♥10♥ flop.
The 6♠ turn was checked to the 6♥ river, where Voronin led out for 2,000,000. Kukhtarev thought for a while before letting go of his ace-high, surrendering the pot to Voronin.
Vlado Banicevic found 2♠2♣ in early position and raised to 1,200,000. Martynas Vitkauskas then fired a three-bet to 3,000,000 from the cutoff with A♣10♣, which Banicevic called once the action returned to him.
The A♥6♠9♥ flop saw Vitkauskas continue for 1,800,000, which caused Banicevic to quickly let go of his underpair.
Sebastian Ionita saw A♥8♦ under the gun and made a raise to 1,200,000. Tymofii Savkin tossed in a call from the hijack with his K♥K♦, and the players went heads-up to a flop of Q♣8♥6♥.
Ionita checked to Savkin before calling the latter's bet of 1,600,000. The 2♠ turn saw Savkin size up to 4,500,000, but this time Ionita found the correct check-fold as he gave up on his second pair.
Juan Corral was first to act and raised to 1,200,000. Vlado Banicevic then made it 3,500,000 to go on the button, to which Corral responded with an all-in four-bet worth 10,000,000.
Banicevic called with the covering stack, revealing the cards.
Juan Corral: K♣J♥
Vlado Banicevic: A♣K♥
Corral had picked the wrong time to make a move, being dominated by Banicevic's Big Slick. The 3♦4♠9♥Q♣8♠ flop helped neither player, seeing Banicevic's ace-king hold to eliminate Corral in 15th place.
