The remaining nine players will take a break before the final table begins. The action is scheduled to resume shortly after 3:20 p.m.
Miroslav Rizov moved all in for 1,600,000 from the button, and Selahaddin Bedir, who had just doubled through Rizov, called, looking to finish the job.
Miroslav Rizov: K♦9♥
Selahaddin Bedir: A♠K♥
Both players paired up on the 4♠A♣9♠ flop, but Rizov couldn't find a way back as the 2♠ turn and 7♣ river saw him fall one spot short of the final table.
Miroslav Rizov limped in from the small blind before calling when Selahaddin Bedir moved all in for 3,950,000 from the big blind.
Selahaddin Bedir: A♣10♦
Miroslav Rizov: A♠8♥
The monotone A♥Q♥3♥ flop left Bedir needing to dodge a flush draw, and he managed to do just that, as the 2♦ turn and A♦ river completed the board.
Leonid Orman raised to 1,500,000 from under the gun, and Manuel Fritz called on the button.
Orman then moved all in for 900,000 on a 5♣4♣10♥ flop, and Fritz called again.
Leonid Orman: J♠J♣
Manuel Fritz: 8♠8♥
The 7♥ turn and 9♠ river kept Orman's superior pocket pair in the lead, earning him a double-up.
'Kenar' opened to 400,000 in the cutoff, and Anton Danilov called in the big blind.
Danilov check-called another 400,000 on an A♦Q♦8♣ flop, but check-raised on the 5♣ turn, making it 3,000,000 after 'Kenar' had barreled for 1,200,000. 'Kenar' called.
The A♥ completed the board, and Danilov bet 2,500,000. 'Kenar' then moved all in, asking Danilov to risk his remaining 1,700,000. Danilov was all too happy to oblige, calling and flipping over the nuts with his A♣Q♥. 'Kenar' could only show K♦J♦ for a missed royal flush draw.
Level: 28
Blinds: 125,000/250,000
Ante: 250,000
Konstantin Voronin raised to 1,000,000 in the small blind and called when 'Tarzan' moved all in for 2,025,000 in the big blind.
Tarzan: A♠J♥
Konstantin Voronin: A♦6♦
'Tarzan' had the best of it, but the 3♣10♦9♦ flop left him sweating. The 6♠ turn saw his lead vanish, and when the 7♥ river offered no relief, 'Tarzan' was eliminated.
Fahredin Mustafov bet 1,600,000 from the hijack, leaving just 200,000 behind, and Anton Danilov called in the small blind.
The dealer spread a 6♦K♠2♥ flop, and Danilov set Mustafov all in, who called.
Fahredin Mustafov: Q♠10♠
Anton Danilov: A♠A♦
The 6♠ turn gave Mustafov renewed hope, but the A♣ river only served to improve Danilov to a full house and send Mustafov to the payout desk.
