The players have been sent on a 15-minute break.
Ottomar Ladva raised under the gun to 40,000 and Naryman Yaghmaie jammed for 290,000 from the big blind. Ladva quickly called.
Naryman Yaghmaie: A♣Q♥
Ottomar Ladva: A♠K♥
Yaghmaie was crushed by the big slick of Ladva, and because neither player improved on the 8♠9♣4♠2♠2♦ runout, Ladva's ace-king high won the pot, sending Yaghmaie to the rail.

Parahat Nurmuhammedov raised to around 40,000 on the button and Eelis Parssinen three-bet out of the big blind to 140,000. Nurmuhammedov continued with a call.
Parssinen placed out a continuation-bet of 75,000 on the 5♦6♥5♠ flop. Nurmuhammedov just called.
A K♠ hit the turn and Parssinen went for the same bet of 75,000, which was met by a jam from Nurmuhammedov for 216,000. Parssinen seemingly didn't like it, but he put in the call to try and bust Nurmuhammedov.
Parahat Nurmuhammedov: A♥A♦
Eelis Parssinen: K♣2♠
Nurmuhammedov had slow played pocket aces and allowed Parssinen to catch up. Still, Parssinen could hit a king or deuce on the river to deliver the bad beat on Nurmuhammedov.
The dealer burned a card, then peeled out the 6♦ on the river to complete the board, and Nurmuhammedov's aces held up, earning him a double-up.

Alex Kulev raised to 40,000 in middle position and Ramin Hajiyev three-bet to 115,000 from the hijack. Danielle Noja four-bet to 300,000 out of the cutoff, and Hajiyev called.
After Hajiyev checked the 9♠4♠5♠ flop, Noja jammed for around 400,000, and Hajiyev snap-called.
Danielle Noja: K♣K♥
Ramin Hajiyev: A♣A♥
It was poker's classic cooler of aces versus kings, and Noja was unfortunately on the wrong end of it.
The 8♣ turn and 6♥ river didn't bring Noja the two-outer he needed, and he was out of the Main Event.

Check, check came after the K♠ turn to see the A♣ complete the board. State bet 25,000, which Lipp called.
Stated turned over a pair of kings with K♦5♦, and Lipp mucked.

Mikita Badziakouski shoved for 121,000 from the cutoff and Istvan Birizdo reluctantly called from the big blind.
Mikita Badziakouski: A♦10♥
Istvan Birizdo: A♣6♥
Badziakouski was the favorite with the superior ace, but that all changed when the flop of 6♣4♥9♥ came out, giving Birizdo a pair of sixes.
The remainder of the board came 3♦8♠ and Badziakouski was the next casualty of the Main Event.

Boris Kolev made it 32,000 to go from the hijack and Emilien Pitavy defended from the big blind.
Pitavy opted to lead out for 25,000 upon seeing the dealer fan out the 3♥4♠5♦ flop. Kolev raised to 65,000, and after using a time bank, Pitavy three-bet jammed for 225,000. Kolev instantly called.
Emilien Pitavy: A♥9♥
Boris Kolev: J♠J♦
Pitavy had a gutshot and one overcard against the pocket jacks of Kolev.
Pitavy picked up a flush draw on the 6♥ turn, but missed all of his outs when the J♣ completed the board, giving Kolev a set.
Pitavy headed to the exit, and Kolev's stack grew to nearly a million.
