Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 10,000 middle position and Xin Tang three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack. When it folded back to Chernikov, he called.
The flop came down K♠8♥5♦ and Chernikov checked to Tang. Tang put out a continuation-bet of 22,000 and Chernikov quickly called.
The J♦ came on the turn and Chernikov check-folded to a bet of 60,000 from Tang

There was a raise to 8,000 under the gun with Adrian State calling from the next position. Jianfeng Sun then squeezed it up to 26,000. The initial raiser folded, but State shoved for 220,000. Sun snap-called.
Adrian State: J♦J♣ 
Jianfeng Sun: A♠A♥
State looked poised to be headed out of the tournament as he had ran into the bullets of Sun. However, the flop fell incredibly favorable for State as it came 9♣J♠J♥ to give him quad jacks. Sun put his head in his hands in disbelief at having his aces likely cracked in such a brutal way.
The Q♥ turn secured the double-up for State as the 6♠ came on the river. State stayed alive, while Sun was left with roughly four big blinds.
Arriving at the table Boris Kolev was all-in from the big blind on a flop of 8♠4♣10♦ and Hala Karam had called with the covering stack to try and bust him.
Boris Kolev: 8♥4♥
Hala Karam: 8♣8♦
Kolev was drawing to running cards with bottom two pair, as the last eight in the deck had come out to give Karam a set. The 6♣ turn meant Kolev was headed to the rail, as an irrelevant 7♣ came on the river. Kolev was out, and the pot was pushed to Karam.
Heads-up to a flop of Q♣8♠6♥ with around 44,000 in the middle. Ihar Soika bet 23,000 from the small blind and Mihai Niste called him from the button.
The 5♦ appeared on the turn and Soika fired out again, this time for 40,000. Niste thought about it for a few moments before he shoved for Soika's remaining 95,000. Soika rechecked his cards before he folded, and Niste pulled in the pot.
Edward Quinn raised to 8,000 from under the gun with only Aleksandr Chernikov calling from the button.
The flop came down 3♠A♥4♣ and Quinn put out a continuation-bet of 7,000, which Chernikov instantly called.
The Q♦ fell on the turn and Quinn fired a second barrel of 20,000. Chernikov snap-folded this time and the pot was pushed to Quinn.
