Manuel Fritz raised the cutoff to 225,000, and Aliaksandr Shylko called on the button.
The dealer spread the 10♦K♥Q♠ flop, causing Fritz to check. Shylko threw out 250,000, and Fritz came along with a call.
A board-pairing K♠ joined on the turn, and both checked. The 4♥ dropped on the river, where both checked again.
Fritz won the pot with A♣10♥ for a pair of tens, as Shylko mucked 6♠6♦.
Raoul Kanme raised to 200,000 on the button with Q♣9♠, Manuel Fritz called from the small blind with 10♠8♠, and Aliaksandr Shylko called from the big blind with Q♦5♠.
The flop came 7♠A♦A♣, and Kanme fired out a bet of 100,000. Fritz check-raised to 550,000, and both Shylko and Kanme folded.
Jordan Woodall completed from the small blind with K♦K♣, and Raoul Kanme checked his option in the big blind with 6♠2♥.
Woodall knuckled it to Kanme on the 7♥6♥7♠ flop, and Kanme fired for 180,000. Woodall continued in the form of a call.
The 10♣ turn caused both players to check before the Q♦ dropped on the river. Woodall announced an overbet of 950,000, and Kanme said, "I'll see it later," before deciding to fold.
After the hand, Kanme took a sip of his second alcoholic beverage of the final table.
Manuel Fritz raised to 225,000 from the cutoff with K♠J♣, and Anze Smajd called from the small blind with 8♠8♦.
Fritz decided to bet 200,000 on the 2♣9♠A♥ flop, and Smajd made the call.
The 5♠ hit the turn, and Fritz did not slow down as he bet 800,000 and that got the job done as Smajd folded.
With A♠10♠, Daniel Rezaei raised to 200,000 from under the gun, and Anze Smajd called from the big blind holding 9♠9♦.
Smajd checked the 8♣4♠J♣ flop, and Rezaei continued for 350,000. Smajd let go of the best hand, giving the pot to Rezaei.
Italo Modena raised to 200,000 from the hijack before Raoul Kanme three-bet the button to 500,000. Modena folded A♦9♥, allowing Kanme, the chip leader, to add more chips to his stack with K♥J♠.
Anze Smajd raised to 200,000 from under the gun with J♠J♦, and Aliaksandr Shylko defended his big blind with J♥8♣.
The flop came A♣8♠9♣, and Smajd bet 150,000. Shylko, with a pair and a backdoor flush draw, made the call.
The K♦ on the turn saw both players check, and both players checked again on the A♦ river.
Fahredin Mustafov raised to 200,000 from under the gun, leaving himself just 60,000 behind. Jordan Woodall three-bet to 600,000 on the button, and once the blinds folded, Mustafov put in the call.
Fahredin Mustafov: 10♥3♥
Jordan Woodall: K♥K♦
Mustafov came to the table with just a few big blinds and was expected to be at risk early, and he was as he had to overcome two kings to stay alive.
The 8♦7♣A♦ flop was a disaster for Mustafov, but he picked up a glimmer of hope on the J♣ turn with a gutshot.
The 6♠ river was a brick, and Mustafov became the first casualty of the final table, exiting in ninth place.
