Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev raised to 20,000 from middle position and Alex Kulev called on the button. Matthias Lipp squeezed all in from the small blind for 205,000, and Hajiyev quickly shoved over the top for 250,000. Kulev folded what he said was pocket nines and the players went to a showdown.

Matthias Lipp: K♠10♠ All in
Ramin Hajiyev: J♣J♦

Hajiyev just needed to fade a king or some spades to send Lipp for an early shower.

The dealer spread out the A♦K♦3♣ flop, giving Lipp the best hand with a pair of kings. The rest of the board came A♠A♥, and Lipp doubled.

Hajiyev was left with just a few big blinds, and has since been eliminated.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya

With 150,000 to start the hand, Adrian State made it 16,000 under the gun. Giorgiy Skhulukhiya jammed from the small blind, and State made the call to put himself at risk.

Adrian State: 9♠9♥ All in
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: 7♠7♦

State had the bigger pair and looked poised double up, if he dodged a seven on the runout.

State's pair of nines remained in the lead through the A♠K♦10♣4♦K♣ board, and he doubled to around 300,000.

Skhulukhiya was left with just a few big blinds and lost it all to Danilo Velasevic just a few hands later.

Yulian Bogdanov raised to 18,000 on the button before Aren Bezhanyan three-bet out of the small blind to 33,000. Bogdanov four-bet to 75,000, and the snap-called when Bezhanyan five-bet ripped it for 303,000.

Aren Bezhanyan: A♦7♦ All in
Yulian Bogdanov: K♣K♦

Bezhanyan was making a move with a suited ace, and had ran into Bogdanov's monster in the form of pocket kings.

The dealer burned a card then peeled off the 9♠ on the river to give Bezhanyan a straight, keeping him alive in the Main Event.

Three ways to a flop of 7♠J♦8♠ where Kenar checked from the big blind, and Yaman Nakdali shoved from under the gun for roughly 81,000. Giorgiy Skhulukhiya moved in from the hijack, which forced Kenar to fold.

Yaman Nakdali: K♦K♥ All in
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: J♥10♥

Nadali had the overpair, against the top pair and a gutshot straight draw of Skhulukhiya.

Skhulukhiya received instant service on the 9♥ turn by improving to a straight. Nakdali couldn't find a nine on the river to chop the pot as the 6♥ completed the runout, and Skhulukhiya was sent the pot.

Adrian Mateos raised to 13,000 in the cutoff before Alexey Borovkov three-bet to 60,000 out of the big blind. Mateos four-bet to 145,000, and after a very short time, Borovkov jammed. Mateos called for his stack of around 350,000 and the cards were revealed.

Adrian Mateos: A♠K♥ All in
Alexey Borovkov: K♦K♠

It was a huge cooler, with Borovkov holding pocket kings against the big slick of Mateos. Borovkov needed to dodge an ace to increase his stack to over seven figures.

The dealer produced a board of 3♣7♣10♣8♦Q♥, keeping Borovkov's cowboys ahead the whole way, and he increased his stack to around 1,300,000, while Mateos was out.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads-up to the turn on a board that showed 9♠K♣2♠10♥. Aleksandr79 was first to act from the big blind and opted to check to Boris Kolev, who bet around 40,000 from under the gun. Aleksandr79 check-jammed and Kolev stuck in the call.

Aleksandr79: 10♠9♣ All in
Boris Kolev: K♥10♣

Both players had turned two pair, but Kolev was way out in front with the higher two pair.

The 4♥ came to complete the board and all of Aleksandr79's stack was absorbed into Kolev's.
