Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Two players limped in as action went to Parham Ghadamgahi in the small blind who raised to 27,000. Dmitrii Kuzin called in the big blind, while the rest of the table folded.

The flop came Q♦9♠2♦ and Ghadamgahi bet 18,000. Kuzin called and the 3♥ fell on the turn.

Ghadamgahi checked and Kuzin bet 28,000. Ghadamgahi came back with a raise to 96,000 and Kuzin tanked for nearly two minutes before calling.

The river was the J♦ and Ghadamgahi checked again. Kuzin then bet 120,000 and Ghadamgahi gave it some thought before calling.

Kuzin instantly mucked his hand and Ghadamgahi showed him Q♥Q♠ for top set as he took the massive pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Returning from break after losing the big pot to Parham Ghadamgahi, Dmitrii Kuzin moved all in for 79,000 from the cutoff after Alain Hajj had opened to 12,000 in middle position and Ghadamgahi called in the hijack. Hajj folded, but Ghadamgahi called to try to finish off Kuzin.

Dmitrii Kuzin: K♥Q♠ All in
Parham Ghadamgahi: 7♦7♥

The flop came 10♠10♥9♠, while the 5♠ turn gave Kuzin a flush draw. He began shaking his queen as he pleaded for another spade, and he got his wish as the A♠ fell on the river to give up a double up.

At the same table, Edgard Raffoul has built up his last past 1,100,000 and is in contention for the chip lead near the end of the night.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Boris Kolev was in the hijack and moved all in for 75,000 as Sergei Sokharev put him at risk from under the gun.

Boris Kolev: K♥K♣ All in
Sergei Sukharev: A♣A♠

Kolev had found a good spot to get his short-stack in the middle, but Sokharev showed him the bad news when he flipped over aces. The board ran out 2♦7♣3♥10♣4♣ and Kolev was sent to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Mehdi Chaoui was eliminated by Kacper Pyzara after failing to complete his nut flush draw against Pyzara's top pair of jacks.
