Down to 163 Players - Hand for Hand

Level 17 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Aleksandr Girs and Roman Korniyenko have been eliminated and the field was reduced to the last 163 hopefuls. Dealers were instructed to wait after the current hand and the hand-for-hand mode will commence two spots off the money.

Players that used the near bubble to build their stacks include Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy, Maxim Babko, Vladimir Geshkenbein and Ivan Arbatsky, while Pavel Kovalenko scored a fortunate double through Aleksei Istomin.

After a three-bet pot before the flop of {J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}, Istomin check-raised from 625,000 to 1,325,000 and Kovalenko moved all in for three million to pick up a call by Istomin.

Pavel Kovalenko: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Aleksei Istomin: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {9-Spades} turn cemented the lead of Istomin, however Kovalenko got there via the {4-Spades} river for the nut flush.
