The action folded to Niall Farrell in the small blind, who took a peek at big blind Ivan Bryksin's stack before he shoved. Bryskin had around 3,300,000 and after looking at his cards, he called.
Ivan Bryksin: A♣J♣
Niall Farrell: 10♥9♥
Bryskin was in the lead but slumped back to his chair when the 2♠10♦3♦ hit the table as Farrell made a pair, However, an A♥ on the turn lifted his spirits again as he made top pair, leaving him one card away from a double-up.
The river brought no surprises as the 4♥ rolled off, meaning Bryskin doubled up right before the break.

Pablo Beltran made it 400,000 to go from middle position and Alexandru Lupuleac three-bet to 1,200,000 on the button. Alvaro Gonza then cold-called from the big blind, and Beltran decided to fold.
The 2♣9♠J♦ flop went check-check to the 8♥ turn, where Gonza fired 1,300,000. Lupuleac called.
When the 7♣ hit the river, both decided to check it down and Gonza flipped Q♣Q♥ for a pair of queens to take the pot.

Boris Smuskevicius open-jammed his button for 1,975,000 and was called by Niall Farrell in the small blind.
Boris Smuskevicius: A♦8♣
Niall Farrell: A♣9♣
Smuskevicius had hoped for an eight, but the 9♦2♠5♠ flop paired up Farrell's nine instead. The 6♠ turn brought Smuskevicius a gutshot, but it was not to be as the 5♦ river left him without chips.

Arunas Sapitavicius once had a chunky stack on Day 2 of the Grand Final, but his count just hit zero as his chips now belong to Kirill Burtin.
Sapitavicius had around 3,000,000 in the middle with Burtin looking to score the knockout.
Arunas Sapitavicius: 9♠9♣
Kirill Burtin: A♥A♠
Burtin held the bullets and got a safe runout when the dealer put out a board of 6♦K♣6♣2♥5♣, which left Sapitavicius out with around 50 players remaining in the tournament.
