The Field Shrinks Rapidly
In a matter of fewer than five minutes, seven players were eliminated.
Simon "simon1471" Higgins was the first to fall on a flip with 
against the 
of Joao "Naza114" Vieira. The board was a roller coaster as it ran out 
.
Timofey "trueteller" Kuznetsov had a straight and flush draw by the turn with 
against Ilya "Leqenden" Anatsky and his 
but the 
board ultimately provided no help.
One hand later, "Körrinho" knocked out Conor "1_conor_b_1" as held against 
. Beresford went for the stop-and-go with few blinds and jammed the 
board, 
turn and 
river were both blanks.
Elior "Crazy Elior" Sion and Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias were next to fall and "WRUUUUM" busted with against the 
of "iamivar", who collected a 1 million chip pot on the 
runout.
Kolonias lost an enormous pot of 2.8 million to Russia's "Futti18" who flopped top set with 
on a board of 
and called the large bet of Kolonias for 266,493 on the flop and shove for nearly one million on the turn to look up his opponent drawing dead.
