Daniel Rezaei raised to 120,000 from the hijack, and Aliaksandr Shylko called from the big blind.
Shylko check-called a bet of 125,000 from Rezaei on the 5♣6♠4♠ flop, and did the same when the 9♦ arrived on the turn, this time for 450,000.
A final check came from Shylko on the 8♣ river, and Rezaei slid out a bet of 1,300,000. Shylko used a couple of time banks before folding, and Rezaei dragged in the pot.
The action was picked up with roughly 500,000 already in the pot, and a board dealt to a 2♠4♥J♠3♦ turn.
Matthias Lipp checked in the big blind, and Anze Smajd bet 350,000 from the cutoff. Lipp responded with a check-raise to 800,000, which Smajd called.
The 5♦ completed the board, and Lipp bet 1,445,000, leaving a single 5,000 chip behind. The bet sent Smajd deep into the tank. After using four of his time extensions, he ultimately chose to fold, surrendering the pot to Lipp.
Manuel Fritz raised to 120,000 from under the gun, and Eelis Parssinen responded with a three-bet all-in for 1,050,000 in the cutoff. Italo Modena called in the small blind, and Fritz folded.
Eelis Parssinen: A♣Q♦ 
Italo Modena: 10♥10♦
The window card on the Q♥7♦3♣ flop saw Parssinen take the lead, and when the A♥ turn and J♠ river improved him to two pair, the dealer pushed a full double-up in his direction.
On the first hand back from the break, Thomas Alfred Mayer jammed for 295,000 from the button, and Matthias Lipp decided to take him for a spin from the small blind.
Thomas Alfred Mayer: 7♦7♥
Matthias Lipp: A♦4♠
Mayer was out of his chair upon seeing he needed to dodge an ace to double up.
Unfortunately for Mayer, his countrymate took the lead on the 6♥A♠6♦ flop after pairing his ace.
There was no two-outer for Mayer on the 5♠ turn or A♥ river, with Lipp improving to a boat to end Mayer's Main Event run in 20th place.
Level: 18
Blinds: 30,000/60,000
Ante: 60,000
The players are going on a 15-minute break.
Jordan Woodall raised to 125,000 in the hijack, which both Ali Al-Kubasi and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called in the small and big blind.
The action checked over to Woodall on a 3♣4♠10♠ flop, who continued for 125,000. Al-Kubasi called, but Vaskaboinikau check-shoved for 930,000. Woodall re-shoved, and Al-Kubasi quickly folded.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 10♣9♦
Jordan Woodall: Q♠Q♣
The 8♣ turn and 7♦ river couldn't save Vaskaboinikau, whose Main Event ended in 21st place.

Four ways to the K♠K♥5♥ flop with 1,500,000 already in the pot. Zorlu Er and Parahat Nurmuhammedov were all in preflop, while Manuel Fritz, who was under the gun, and Aliaksandr Shylko in the hijack were also in the hand.
Fritz checked, and Shylko fired out a bet of 450,000. Fritz folded, giving Shylko the chance to bust two players.
Zorlu Er: J♣J♥
Parahat Nurmuhammedov: A♣K♣
Aliaksandr Shylko: Q♠Q♥
All three had picked up premium hands, but it was Nurmuhammedov who held the lead with trip kings. The 8♠ turn was a brick, but the Q♣ river certainly wasn't, as Shylko spiked a boat to win the pot and score the double elimination.
