From under the gun, Recep Aydemir shoved for 665,000 chips. Alexey Popov called in the middle position, and the other players folded.
Recep Aydemir: A♦10♠
Alexey Popov: A♠Q♦
The flop 6♣K♣7♦ didn't help Aydemir, but he had a straight draw thanks to the turn 9♦. Luckily for him, Aydemir hit the flush on the river 8♠ and doubled up.
Table 1, there was a three-way all-in and a call preflop, with Mousa Barakat having the biggest stack of the three players.
Player 1: QxQx
Player 2: A♥K♥
Mousa Barakat: A♦A♣
In this massive pot, Barakat could have had a stack of 10,000,000 chips if he won the pot. And that's what happened on 6♥5♣10♣7♥2♣. Barakat is now, by far, the chip leader of the tournament.

After David Hu doubled up on him, Eli Saad moved all in for 1,100,000 chips, and he was called by Chinguun Bolor-Erdene.
Eli Saad: K♣K♠
Chinguun Bolor-Erdene: A♥A♣
Bad timing for Saad, who ran into Bolor-Erdene's aces. To make things worse for him, the dealer gave a flush draw to Bolor-Erdene on the flop 2♥3♥Q♥, and a set on the turn A♦. The 7♥ completed the board and the flush, leading to Saad's elimination.
Geo "John Doe" opened from under the gun to 125,000. Then Dore Hajjar, on his left, shoved for a total of 1,035,000. All other players folded to John Doe, who called.
Dore Hajjar: A♠K♦
John Doe: 10♦10♣
On the flop 6♦4♥5♣ and the turn 6♣, Doe kept the lead. But the A♥ on the river saved Hajjar, who doubled up to 2,200,000.
According to some players at the table, Eli Saad opened from middle position. Then David Hu three-bet from the cutoff, and Domenico Zappia in the small blind moved all in for a single blind.
Saad called the all-in and the three-bet, then checked on the flop A♠9♦J♣. Hu checked back to see the Q♦ on the turn, where Saad moved all in. With a smaller stack of 350,000 chips, Hu called.
Domenico Zappia: 4♣3♥
David Hu: A♣10♠
Eli Saad: Q♣8♣
Saad hit a pair of queens on the turn, but Hu had a pair of aces. So after the river 5♦, Hu took the pot to double up, and Zappia was eliminated.
