When the action folded to Chengyu Liao in the small blind, Zorlu Er snap-called in the big blind, putting his 1,470,000 at risk.
Zorlu Er: A♠K♣ 
Chengyu Liao: K♥2♠
Er had Liao dominated, and retained his lead across the 8♠10♥Q♦9♠Q♠ runout to earn a full double-up.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya opened to 200,000 in the cutoff, and Zorlu Er defended his big blind.
Er checked over to Skhulukhiya on a K♠4♥4♦ flop, who continued for 150,000. Er then check-raised all in for 650,000, and Skhulukhiya folded.
Er showed the table that he had the K♣.
When Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 100,000 in middle position, he quickly faced resistance as Leonid Orman moved all in for 750,000 one seat to his left. The action returned unchanged to Skhulukhiya, who called.
Leonid Orman: A♥2♥
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♦7♦
The J♠5♠9♦8♠3♥ board kept the standings as they were preflop, and Orman hit the rail in seventh place.
Level: 28
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
After a raise by Giorgiy Skhulukhiya in the cutoff, Julian Pineda Lozano moved all in for 2,050,000 from the big blind. Skhulukhiya confirmed the amount and then called.
Julian Pineda Lozano: A♣9♠
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: 10♦10♣
The Q♠J♥4♥3♣J♠ board offered Lozano no relief, and he was eliminated in eighth place.
Gor Musinyan opened to 160,000 in early position and called when Geoffrey Mooney moved all in for 375,000.
Geoffrey Mooney: Q♦Q♣
Gor Musinyan: A♣J♥
The ace-high A♦5♠6♥ flop was a bad start for Mooney, and there was no relief waiting for him on the 2♣ turn or K♥ river.
Level: 27
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000
The first break of the final table has arrived, with all nine players still in contention. Play will resume in 15 minutes.
Leonid Orman raised to 180,000 in the small blind, and Yesset Aimukhanov called in the big blind.
Orman continued for 100,000 on a K♠K♥6♠ flop, which Aimukhanov called before the 4♣ turn checked through.
After Orman checked a second time on the 9♠ river, Aimukhanov fired 350,000 into the middle. Orman used a time extension before choosing to let go of his cards.
