The cut-off bet 5,500, and Olga Iermolcheva raised to 15,000 from the button, which was called by the cut off.
The flop of 10♥10♣9♦ saw Iermolcheva bet 50,000 which was enough to put her opponent all in. The cut off made the call.
Cut off: Q♠J♠
Olga Iermolcheva : A♣Q♣
Iermolcheva was ahead with ace-high, but the cut off had a plethora of outs. The A♥ on the turn reduced the cut off's outs by three; leaving just his straight outs. It was a 10♠ brick on the river to give Iermolcheva a boat and sent the cut off to the exit.
All the chips went into the middle preflop with Darko Svesko in the small blind at risk for 103,000. He was covered by Andrei Mashinistov in the big blind.
Darko Svesko: 10♥10♠
Andrei Mashinistov: A♣Q♥
A classic flip and Svesko secured the double up after the runout of K♥10♦6♠4♦2♠ improved the Serbian to a set. It was only a slight flesh wound for Mashinistov however.

With 42,000 in the middle on a flop of 10♠6♠4♣, Ali Muthana Al-Kubasi bet 14,000 from the big blind. Cem Agpur on the button made the call.
The 4♠ came on the turn to pair the board and bring in the spade flush draw. Al-Kubasi bet 45,000, which was roughly half of his remaining stack. Agpur did not take long to move all in.
This put Al-Kubasi deep into the tank and he fanned his time bank cards in front of him to give the dealer easy access. After burning two of them he opted to fold.
With around 50,000 in the middle on the flop of 6♦4♣3♣, Yiannis Liperis moved all in for 66,000 from the button. Alexander Sokolovsky from under the gun made the call.
Yiannis Liperis: A♣2♣
Alexander Sokolovsky Q♠Q♦
Sokolovsky was ahead with a pair of ladies, but Liperis had plenty of outs with one overcard, gut-shot straight, flush and steel wheel draws. Unfortunately the board bricked out for the Cypriot as the 9♥4♥ completed the runout and Sokolovsky shot to the top of the chip rankings.

With 10,000 in the middle at the turn with a board of 10♠9♣4♠4♥, Shuang Luo bet 6,500 from the button and was called by Mihail Ketlerov in the big blind.
The 6♠ completed the run-out and Luo bet 17,000. Ketlerov took a few seconds before moving all in for 58,000. Luo winced and let go of her cards to give Ketlerov the pot.
