Azamat Tulepbergenov had high hopes for a double-up when he five-bet shoved from the small blind for around 80,000, and got a call from Razvan Sabau on the button.
Azamat Tulepbergenov: A♥A♠ 
Razvan Sabau : K♠K♣
Unfortunately for Tulepbergenov, the flop of K♥K♦5♥ all but sealed his fate as Sabau flopped quads! No running aces appeared on the 10♠J♥ runout, and Tulepbergenov was sent to the rail.
What a brutal way to go.
It's not been a good few minutes for Xiaosheng Zheng, who has sent over the majority of his stack to Stanislav Tishkevich.
On a board of 6♣Q♦3♦9♥K♠, there were around 40,000 chips in the pot when Tishkevich checked the river and Zheng bet 27,000, leaving himself around 20,000 behind. Tishkevich then shoved, and after a long time in the tank, Zheng elected to fold.
Stanislav Tishkevich opened hijack to 3,500 and Xiaosheng Zheng three-bet from the small blind to 14,000. Tishkevich then made a four-bet to 30,000, and Zheng moved all in. Tishkevich quickly called for his full stack of around 100,000.
Stanislav Tishkevich: K♦K♥
Xiaosheng Zheng: K♠Q♣
Zheng was in a a less-than-ideal situation, but did flop some hope when he paired his queen on Q♥5♦4♠. However, neither the 9♦ turn nor 4♣ river could earn him the pot, and Tishkevich doubled up.
Georgios Skarparis had shipped his stack of around 50,000 into the middle from the small blind and was put at risk by Joseph Houayek.
Georgios Skarparis: A♠9♥
Joseph Houayek: A♦Q♦
Skarparis had started Day 1b well and more than doubled his stack, but couldn't get anything going and was eliminated when the 2♣5♠K♦J♣J♥ runout hit the felt.
On a flop of 4♣J♣8♦, there were already around 50,000 chips in the pot when Zhen Chen checked from the small blind, as did a player in middle position. Hassan Halil was on the button and made it 8,000, which both of his opponents called.
All three checked the 4♦ turn to the 9♥ river, where the action checked to Halil, who fired out 25,000. Chen thought for a while before he made a huge raise to 200,000, which got the player in middle position to fold. However, Halil snap-called for his stack of around 60,000.
Chen showed 10♥10♠, but Halil was never folding his 9♠9♣ as he rivered a set.
With around 30,000 chips in the pot on a 3♦9♣J♣J♠7♣ board, Walid Bou Habib checked it over from the small blind and Felipe Ketzer put out a small bet of 6,000.
Habib then put in a check-raise to 15,500, and after rechecking his cards, Ketzer decided to fold.
Level: 6
Blinds: 800/1,500
Ante: 1,500
Rudolf Fourie raised to 3,200 from under the gun and Alisa Sibgatova called on the button. Mircea Flutur also called from the big blind.
They went to a monotone flop of 5♥8♥Q♥ where Flutur checked and Fourie bet 7,000. Sibgatova folded, and Flutur called.
When the 3♥ on the turn pout four hearts on board, both checked to the 10♦ river, where Flutur put out a small bet of 5,000.
"Ahhh, this is sick," said Fourie before he eventually called.
Flutur then revealed K♣9♥ for a flush, but Fourie had a bigger flush with 10♥10♠ to take the pot.
