Evgenii Chernyi moved all in from the button for 1,550,000, and 'Tarzan' snap-called in the big blind.
Evgenii Chernyi: K♣7♣ 
Tarzan: J♦J♣
There was no help to be found from the deck for Chernyi, as the 3♥5♦J♥10♥4♠ board sent him to the exit.
When the action folded to Manuel Fritz on the button, he jammed, covering both players behind him. Ravid Garbi took some time to think, used a few time banks, and then called for his stack of 750,000 from the big blind.
Ravid Garbi: A♠9♣
Manuel Fritz: A♦Q♠
To Garbi's surprise, Fritz turned over the premium holding of ace-queen, leaving Garbi in need of some help from the poker gods to survive.
Both players paired their ace on the A♣10♠3♣4♦2♣ runout, but it was Fritz's queen kicker that won him the pot, sending Garbi to the rail in 24th place.
Picking up the action on a 9♣3♣2♣3♥ board, Konstantin Voronin led out from the big blind for 500,000. Aren Bezhanyan responded with a raise to 1,600,000 from under the gun, putting Voronin all in. After using a time extension, Voronin opted to let go of his hand, leaving him with less than ten big blinds.

Michal Anzulewicz raised to 200,000 in the cutoff, which Kenar and Konstantin Voronin both called from the small and big blind.
The action checked to Anzulewicz on a A♣J♠5♠ flop, who bet another 200,000. Kenar called, and Voronin folded.
Kenar chose to lead out on the 5♥ turn, betting 450,000. Anzulewicz wasted no time at all letting go of his cards.
Anton Danilov raised to 200,000 from the hijack, and 'Tarzan' called in the cutoff. Martins Adeniya then squeezed to 825,000, prompting Danilov to go into the tank. After using a few time banks, Danilov jammed, covering both of his opponents. 'Tarzan' folded, and Adeniya called for his stack of around 2,800,000.
Martins Adeniya: J♠J♥
Anton Danilov: A♣Q♣
Adeniya found himself flipping for his tournament life, but he fell behind as Danilov paired his ace on the A♠9♥10♥ flop.
The 3♣ turn and K♠ river provided no help, and Adeniya was sent to the cashier's desk to collect the payout for 25th place.
Sergey Moiseev raised the button to 250,000, and Aleksei Gortikov called from the small blind.
Both players checked the 8♥10♠2♠ flop before the 9♦ arrived on the turn. Gortikov checked once more and then folded when Moiseev bet 500,000.
At another table, Leonid Orman raised to 200,000 from under the gun, and only 'Tarzan' came along from the small blind.
Both players checked the 4♦5♣8♥ flop to see the A♠ turn. 'Tarzan' checked again, and Orman fired a delayed continuation-bet of 300,000. 'Tarzan' called.
'Tarzan' checked for a final time on the J♠ river, allowing Orman to assemble a bet of 1,100,000. Tarzan and Orman was back over three million.
Aren Bezhanyan raised to 200,000 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 500,000 from Fabian Gumz on the button. Once the two players in the blinds folded, Bezhanyan called.
Bezhanyan proceeded with a check-call when Gumz continued for 325,000 on a 4♥6♣J♦ flop, but when Gumz double-barreled for an increased 565,000 on the K♥ turn, Bezhanyan check-folded.
'Kenar' raised to 215,000 from under the gun, and Aleksandr Kirichenko jammed for 1,190,000 from the hijack. When the action got back to 'Kenar', he thought briefly, said, "Gamble, gamble", and put in the call for a small portion of his stack.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: K♣Q♣
'Kenar': Q♥J♦
With king-high, Kirichenko had 'Kenar' dominated, and he remained ahead on the A♣9♠4♦ flop and 6♠ turn.
However, a brutal J♥ rolled off on the river to give 'Kenar' the three-outer, sending Kirichenko to the rail.
