Players are now on the last 15-minute break of Day 1a.
There is one more level left to play tonight before players bag up their chips. The tournament clock currently shows 185 total entries, with 87 players remaining.
Tahsin Cankurtaranli raised to 4,000 under the gun before Maxim Lykov three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Xiang Lian then four-bet to 28,500 in the big blind.
Cankurtaranli folded, but Lykov moved all in for around 90,000 and Lian snap-called.
Maxim Lykov: A♠K♥
Xiang Lian: A♥A♦
Lykov was already up from his seat and walking toward the exit soon after Lian turned over his aces. The board ran out 5♣6♣8♣10♥2♦ and Lian took the pot to seal Lykov's bustout.
Andrew Hedley and Clement Bonnant built a pot of around 35,000 heading to the river on a board of J♠3♥4♥2♣5♣. Bonnant then bet 25,000 from early position.
Hedley, in the big blind, responded by moving all in. Bonnant had around 55,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes until another player at the table called the clock.
He allowed the countdown to nearly reach zero before tossing his cards into the muck. "Six," Nina Krasilnikova asked Hedley, who remained silent and returned his cards face down while taking in the pot to climb above 300,000.
Maxim Lykov had a raise of 14,000 in front of him from the cutoff before Roger Abed moved all in for 38,000 on the button. Tahsin Cankurtaranli reshoved for 77,500 under the gun and Lykov tanked for several minutes before calling with the covering stack.
Roger Abed: J♥J♦
Tahsin Cankurtaranli: K♥K♦
Maxim Lykov: Q♣Q♠
The board ran out 10♥A♣10♦9♦10♣ and Cankurtaranli's kings improved to a full house, sending Abed to the rail and earning him a double up off Lykov.
Aurelijus Sipavicius and Bakhos Joumaa were just involved in another all-in pot as they headed to the river on a board of 7♥4♠6♦9♦J♥ and around 60,000 in the pot.
Joumaa moved all in for 75,000 in the small blind and Sipavicius tanked for several minutes before calling. Joumaa immediately tapped the felt and showed 10♣9♠ for a pair of nines. Sipavicius turned over K♥K♠ and finally sent his table nemesis to the rail after two prior failed attempts.
"Very nice play," a tablemate told him after the hand.
Samy Barka bet 5,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 10♠4♠K♦ and Azamat Tulepbergenov raised to 23,000 on the button. Marius Kudzmanas called in the hijack, as did Barka.
The turn was the K♣ and Tulepbergenov bet 35,000. Kudzmanas quickly folded, while Barka tanked for a moment before also joining the muck.
"I should've checked," Tulepbergenov said as he turned over K♥10♥ for a full house. Despite losing that pot, Barka has built up a stack of around 500,000 and is in contention for the chip lead.
