Timur Imaev: 6♣6♦ All in
Houman Sahafi: A♣K♠

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Around 600,000 was in the middle as Rafael Aslanli and Elie Farah went to the 2♠3♠7♠ flop. Aslanli then got in his last 800,000 from early position and Farah put him at risk from the small blind.

Rafael Aslanli: K♦K♠ All in
Elie Farah: 9♦9♠

Aslanli was far ahead with his kings with a massive pot at stake as the Q♥ fell on the turn. "Nine," Farah yelled out, and he got his wish as the 9♥ fell on the river to give him a set and send a shocked Aslanli to the rail.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Azizjon Rakhimov raised to 40,000 in early position before Maksim Shornikau moved all in for 320,000 in the hijack. Avrham Harbon called for his last 250,000 in the big blind, while Rakhimov got out of the way saying he had pocket deuces.

Avrham Harbon: 7♣6♦ All in
Maksim Shornikau: K♦Q♦

The flop came 6♠3♥2♥ and Harbon took the lead with a pair of sixes. Shornikau couldn't catch up on the 10♦ turn or 9♣ river and Harbon doubled up, leaving Shornikau on an extreme short stack.
