Boris Kolev made it 350,000 from the cutoff before Ottomar Ladva three-bet to 1,700,000 from the small blind. Kolev four-bet ripped it, and Ladva called for his stack of 3,385,000.
Ottomar Ladva: K♣J♣
Boris Kolev: A♦K♥
Kolev's big slick had Ladva crushed, and unless Ladva found a jack or clubs, he would be the next casualty of the Main Event.
Ladva picked up a flush draw on the 7♣Q♥4♣ flop. The 8♠ on the turn was clean for Kolev, but the J♠ to complete the board was not, as Ladva spiked a pair of jacks to survive.

The next hand, Vaskaboinikau opened to 320,000 on the button with J♥10♣ before Boris Kolev three-bet to 1,080,000 in the small blind. Vaskaboinikau instantly moved all in for 4,250,000, and Kolev folded K♣J♦.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau raised to 350,000 from middle position and Boris Kolev three-bet to 750,000 out of the hijack. Vaskaboinikau called and the dealer put out the flop of 10♠10♦8♦.
Vaskaboinikau checked, and Kolev fired out for 350,000. Vaskaboinikau continued with a call, and a 4♣ rolled off on the turn.
Another check came from Vaskaboinikau, and Kolev slid out a bet of 625,000. Vaskaboinikau check-jammed, covering Kolev, and Kolev called for his stack of 2,300,000.
Boris Kolev: A♦A♣
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau :Q♦9♦
Kolev was ahead with aces against the combo draw of Vaskaboinikau.
A 3♣ fell on the river, which was a complete brick for Vaskaboinikau, and Kolev doubled up to over five million.

Patrik Antonius raised to 350,000 in middle position and Daniil Kiselev called in the big blind.
The flop came K♣J♦5♦ and Antonius bet 325,000. Kiselev called to see the 2♠ turn, where Antonius bet another 800,000. Kiselev again called.
The river was the 10♠ and Antonius bet enough to put Kiselev all in. Kiselev covered his face with the collar of his sweater and took his green rubber duck off his chips as he went into the tank, using up a few time banks before calling for his last 2,265,000.
Antonius turned over K♦10♥ for two pair, and Kiselev flung his arms in the air in frustration as he sent J♣10♦ into the muck before making his exit in eighth place.

Matthias Lipp raised to 350,000 in early position before Mikalai Vaskaboinikau three-bet to 850,000 in middle position. Lipp then moved all in, and Vaskaboinikau called for 4,410,000.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: Q♥Q♦
Matthias Lipp: A♦K♣
Vaskaboinikau interrupted his massage to stand up from his seat and await the board that would decide his tournament fate. The 8♥6♥4♣ flop was safe, while the 9♥ turn gave him a flush draw and took away a few of Lipp's outs. The river was the 8♣ and Vaskaboinikau held on to earn the double up.

The turn was the 3♦ and Mooney bet another 1,000,000. Kiselev folded 10♦9♣, and Mooney regained some of his lost chips.
