The last three hands before the break provided some fireworks. First Daniyar Aubakirov took off fellow Kazakh Lavrentiy Ni before the latter limp-shoved into Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.
Last but not least, the clock was about to run down for the level while Yurii Zdanovskyi had raised to 22,000. Ni was on the button and waited until 10 seconds remaining before announcing all in. The blinds folded and Zdanovskyi snap-called.
Yurii Zdanovskyi: ![]()

Lavrentiy Ni: ![]()

The flop came ![]()

river let the rail of Ni celebrate and Zdanovskyi will return for the next level with less than two big blinds.

None of the pots went to showdown. Bubnow continued his aggression throughout each hand, eventually forcing his opponents to lay theirs down.
