Level 24
: 25,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Huseyin Akgul opened the button to 120,000 before action was on Natan Chauskin in the small blind. After some thought he moved all in for 820,000.
Akgul took a moment but eventually he called to put Chauskin at risk.
Natan Chauskin: A♠Q♥
Huseyin Akgul: K♠Q♠
The full board ran out J♥4♥10♦6♦5♥. Although Akgul flopped an open-ender, it was Chauskin who doubled up to stay alive.

Leonid Sidelkovskiy raised to 400,000 from early position with 80,000 left behind and action folded to Huseyin Akgul in the cutoff who burned a timebank before moving all in for 930,000. Natan Chauskin was in the small blind and burned through three of his own timebanks before eventually finding a fold. Sidelkovskiy put in the last of his chips and the cards hit their backs.
Leonid Sidelkovskiy: A♥J♦
Huseyin Akgul: A♠Q♣
The full board ran out 6♦6♥7♦8♥5♥ and Sidelkovskiy hit the rail in 9th place.
It is worth noting that Chauskin was tanking in the small blind with pocket jacks and let them go. He would have gotten more than a double had he put in the call.

Recep Aydemir: A♥8♥
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♠J♦
The full board ran out 3♥9♦J♠2♣Q♥ and with the pair of jacks Kirichenko extended his chip lead and sent Aydemir to the rail on the final table bubble.
Level 23
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Halil Tasyurek opened the button before Guo Liang Wei defended his big blind.
The 6♠7♠4♠ flop hit the felt and action checked to Tasyurek who continued for 125,000. Wei took a moment before putting in a check-raise to 300,000. Tasyurek thought over his options for a few moments before he moved all in and Wei snap called.
Halil Tasyurek: A♣A♠
Guo Liang Wei: 5♥3♥
Tasyurek was in rough shape but still had outs in the form of a spade. The K♦ turn and 7♥ river would not bring the help he needed and he made his exit from the feature table at the hands of a cold deck.

: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Leonid Sidelkovskiy moved his last 270,000 into the middle for his tournament life before the action folded to Clement Bonnant on the button who flat called and the rest of the players folded.
Leonid Sidelkovskiy: 7♠10♠
Clement Bonnant: 6♣6♥
The full board ran out 5♦8♣J♥4♥10♦ and with the rivered ten Sidelkovskiy got a big double to stay alive.
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya opened the cutoff to 70,000 before the action folded to Halil Tasyurek in the small blind who cold-called and then Maxime Chilaud defended his big blind.
The 8♠9♣8♣ flop landed and action checked to Chilaud who moved all in for his last 165,000. Skhulukhiya got out of the way but after a short tank Tasyurek flicked in a call to put Chilaud at risk.
Maxime Chilaud: J♣6♣
Halil Tasyurek: K♠Q♠
The 7♥ turn brought in a few more outs for Chilaud but the 4♠ river would make the king high of Tasyurek good enough to scoop the pot. Chilaud made his exit in 12th Place.
