Hadi Khordbin: A♥Q♠
On 6♦9♣3♠5♣4♦, Li's pair of eights stayed ahead, and he tripled up, while his neighbor was eliminated.
After the break, Erdal Gulseven decided to call in the big blind after an open by the button.
On 6♣8♣4♦, both players checked. Then on the turn A♥, Gulseven check-called a bet of 9,000. The 3♥ came on the river, and Gulseven checked for the third time. The button checked-back, then mucked his cards when Gulseven showed K♦6♥ for a pair of six.
Gulseven took the pot and added his new chips to his stack which is now above 1,000,000 chips.

With his avocado bob hat on the head, Timur Margolin decided to go all in with 34,500 chips, and received a call by Recep Aydemir.
Timur Margolin: 8♥8♦
Recep Aydemir: A♥4♥
Aydemir found a flush draw after the flop 7♠5♣5♥ and the turn 7♥. But the K♣ on the river didn't change anything, and Margolin doubled up.
After an open in middle position by Mihai Niste, Koray Korkmaz three-bet to 15,000 from the cutoff. Christos Leantzis on the button, as well as the big blind, called. However, there were too many players in the pot for Niste, who folded.
The dealer revealed the flop 3♥J♠4♥, where Korkmaz continued with a bet of 15,000. His two opponents didn't let down and called. On the turn 6♥, Korkmaz counted his stack, then moved all in. Leantzis quickly folded, while the big blind seemed unhappy but eventually folded as well, revealing 7♥7♦.
Edgard Raffoul opened from under the gun to 5,500 and received a quick call from Olga Iermolcheva seated on his left. All the other players folded, and a 7♣2♥A♥ flop was revealed by the dealer.
Both players checked this first street, then Raffoul bet 6,000 on the turn 9♥. Iermolcheva called once again before checking back on the river 2♦.
Raffoul showed 4♦4♣ and hoped it would be the winning hand. But it was not, as Iermolcheva flipped a tricky K♦K♠.
