Level 16 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei bet 35,000 from the button on a flop of 4♣10♦7♣ and Ran Azor called under the gun. Fahredin Mustafov then raised to 160,000 in the hijack, and only Rezaei called.

The turn was the 3♣ and Mustafov moved all in. Rezaei ended up using six time banks and tanking for several minutes as he contemplated the call for his tournament life. Mustafov remained motionless with his hands cupped under his chin while Rezaei mumbled to himself before calling for his last 330,000.

Rezaei turned over 9♣9♦, but Mustafov had the lead with J♦J♠. The river was the Q♦ and Rezaei was sent to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fahredin Mustafov	1,500,000 580,000	580,000

Giorgiy Skhulukihia raised to 32,000 in the hijack before Stanislau Shylkou moved all in for 125,000 in the cutoff. Alex Kulev called on the button, while Skhulukhiya got out of the way.

Stanislau Shylkou: 6♠6♦ All in
Alex Kulev: 10♥10♠

Shylkou had run his sixes into Kulev's tens, and the K♠4♣4♦9♦3♦ board offered no help as he was sent to the rail.

Skhulukhiya told Kulev he had deuce-seven after the hand. "Good fold. Nines also a good fold," Kulev replied.

With around 400,000 in the pot already, Roman Stoika placed out a bet of 140,000 from the small blind after seeing the 2♥4♣4♠ flop come down. From the button, Damir Gabdullin continued in the form of a call.

A 6♣ hit the turn and Stoika shoved for 430,000. Gabdullin took one last look at his cards, then slammed in the call.

Roman Stoika: 10♠10♣ All in
Damir Gabdullin: A♦A♣

Both players held overpairs, but it was Gabdullin's pocket rockets that had a stranglehold on the hand.

A 6♠ fell on the river and all of Stoika's chips were sent over to Gabdullin.
