Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Aliaksandr Hirs opened in early position to 5,000 before the action was on WSOP Main Event Champion Koray Aldemir in the cutoff. He did some accounting of his chips and Hirs chips and then put in a three-bet to 13,000. It folded back to Hirs who called.

The K♠5♥J♠ flop landed and the action checked to Aldemir who continued for 6,500 before Hirs promptly check-raised to 20,000. Aldemir called and the K♥ rolled off on the turn.

Hirs took a moment and then put out another bet of 21,000. Aldemir called again.

The 6♥ rolled off on the river and Hirs wasted little time before moving all in. Aldemir snapped.

Hirs showed Q♥10♥ for a flopped open-ender and rivered flush before the Main Event Champion showed K♣K♦ for quads to scoop and send Hirs to the rail.

Minicuci kept his hopes alive on the Q♠Q♣7♣ flop and 6♥ turn but the 2♥ river was a blank. Chamas continued his heater and added even more chips to a growing tower.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a four-way pot on a flop of 10♥4♦7♥, streamer Qiyu "Nemo" Zhou bet all in and only got action from Martin Kabrhel, who she had just doubled through.

"All in for 17 million," said Kabrhel as he shoved a stack of around 8,000.

Martin Kabrhel: A♥6♥
Qiyu Zhou: 10♦7♦

Zhou had flopped two pair and was able to fade a heart as the board ran out 2♦9♣ to mark Kabrhel's elimination.

"I thought I had aces," Kabrhel said as he left.
