Claudiu-Mihai Burlacu put in a chunk of his stack from the small blind and Aleksandr Razinkov shoved from the big blind. With just a few chips left, Burlacu called off his stack of 170,000.
Claudiu-Mihai Burlacu: 8♠8♥ 
Aleksandr Razinkov: A♥K♣
Burlacu was ahead with his snowmen, but any chance he had of making the money started to heavily melt away as the J♠A♣6♣ flop gave Razinkov a pair of aces.
Only an eight would do for Burlacu, but neither the 3♥ turn nor 4♦ river could save him, which meant everybody else had made the money.

Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a flop of A♠4♥7♥, Jianming Luo got his stack of roughly 100,000 into the middle with Alexandru Cinca making the call to try and bust him.
Jianming Luo: A♣Q♣
Alexandru Cinca: A♦K♣
Both players had top pair, but Cinca's king-kicker meant he was in the lead. The 3♥ turn and 8♥ river didn't change anything and Luo headed to the rail.
At the same time on a different table, Orhan Ates got all in preflop, and Tommy G was the player trying to bust him, and send everyone just one spot away from the money.
Orhan Ates : AxQx
Tommy G: A♥K♥
Neither player improved on the runout, which meant Tommy G won the pot with ace-king high. The pot was pushed to Tommy G and Ates headed to the exit empty-handed.

On a board of 9♥K♣7♦6♦, Andrei Spataru checked from the big blind and Dawid Smolka threw out a pot-sized bet of 150,000 from middle position. Spataru called.
A Q♥ filled out the board and after Spataru checked it over, Smolka shoved. Spataru snap-called for his stack of 642,000.
Smolka then flipped over a bluff with A♥J♠, and Spataru's K♠Q♠ was good for the pot with two pair.

Maksim Shornikau opened from the hijack and Parahat Nurmuhammedov shoved from the small blind for 120,000. Shornikau called.
Parahat Nurmuhammedov: K♥Q♣
Maksim Shornikau: Q♠6♠
Nurmuhammedov was in a dominating position and took full advantage of it as the 9♦Q♥8♠J♣8♦ runout earned him a double-up.

Haydar Issa opened from the cutoff and Sandro Zarriello shoved for 223,000 from the small blind. Issa made the call with the covering stack to put Zarriello at risk.
Sandro Zarriello: A♥K♦
Haydar Issa: 4♠4♦
It was a flip for Zarriello's tournament, and he needed to connect with the board in some way to survive.
The flop fell 10♠7♠6♠, which was horrible for Zarriello as Issa had a flush draw. The 5♣ turn meant only an ace or king on the river that wasn't a spade would help him. The river was the J♦ and Zarriello exited in 155th place.

: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sergiu Covrig raised from the hijack and Peng Chen jammed the small blind for 105,000. After the big blind folded, Cobrig called.
Peng Chen: 5♠5♥
Sergiu Covrig: 7♦3♠
Chen was ahead with pocket fives and just needed to avoid a horrible runout to double up. The board came 10♣Q♥4♠3♦K♠, and Chen's pair of fives won the pot, earning him the much-needed double-up.
