Leonid Orman opened to 100,000 under the gun, and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya defended in the big blind.
Skhulukhiya check-called a bet of 80,000 on a monotone 4♥K♥2♥ flop before the 5♦ turn checked through.
The A♠ completed the board, and Skhulukhiya led out for 55,000. Orman called and was able to beat Skhulukhiya's A♦7♥ with his superior kicker, tabling A♣10♥.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 100,000 from early position, and only Gor Musinyan called in the big blind.
The 8♣J♠A♣ flop checked through, prompting Musinyan to lead out on the 7♦ turn with a bet of 150,000, which Skhulukhiya called.
Musinyan fired a more substantial 700,000 on the 8♦ river, and, after using a time extension, Skhulukhiya elected to fold.
Gor Musinyan opened to 100,000 in early position, which only Geoffrey Mooney called in the big blind.
Mooney checked on a A♥9♦7♦ flop, and Musinyan continued with another 100,000 bet. Mooney responded by check-raising all in for 430,000, which received a quick fold from Musinyan.
Zorlu Er opened to 100,000 in the cutoff, and Gor Musinyan responded with a three-bet to 275,000 on the button. When the action returned to Er, he called.
Er check-called a continuation bet of 175,000 on a 4♥10♦5♦ flop, and then another on the 5♥ turn, this time for 325,000.
The 5♠ river saw Er switch tactics, this time leading out for 305,000. Musinyan responded by moving all in for 4,700,000, having the 1,150,000 that Er had behind well covered. After taking stock of his own stack and then looking Musinyan up and down, Er opted to fold, asking Musinyan to show one card.
Musinyan obliged, showing the A♦.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 100,000 from under the gun and called when Arsenii Karmatckii moved all in for 690,000.
Arsenii Karmatckii: 6♥6♣ 
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♠9♠
The K♥6♦A♦ flop had Karmatckii well on his way to a double-up, but the deck had other ideas as the board was completed by the A♥ and 9♣, giving Skhulukhiya a runner-runner full house, eliminating Karmatckii one place shy of the final table.
