Simeon Spasov folded his button and Maher Achour moved all in for around 4,000,000 from the small blind. Giorgiy Skhulukhiya tanked for a moment before calling.

Maher Achour: 1010 All in
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A5

"This is a bluff hand, not a calling hand," Achour said as he and Skhulukhiya exchanged a fist bump heading to the 976 flop. The turn was the A and Skhulukhiya took the lead with a pair of aces.

The river came the 9 and Achour was sent to the rail in third place. Skhulukhiya and Spasov are taking a short break before the start of heads-up play.
