Tkatschew checked on the flop of 6♠Q♠8♦, and Lin continued for 475,000. Tkatschew called. Both players then checked on the 4♦ turn and J♠ river as Tkatschew showed 9♦8♠ to win the pot with a pair of eights.
Across the room, Martin Kabrhel, lurching around the feature table area like a lanky shark with legs, could be heard crowd-testing a new catchphrase, singing, "This guy is on fiiiiiiiiiireeeeeeeeee."

Daniel Charlton opened from early position to 1,000,000 with. It then folded to Ivan Stokes who three-bet to 2,700,000.
It folded back to Charlton, who four-bet to 5,000,000, before Stokes clicked it back with a 5-bet to 8,500,000. Charlton then responded with a six-bet all in for 18,375,000, which Stokes called.
Daniel Charlton: A♠10♣
Ivan Stokes: A♣Q♦
Charlton went for it, but ran into the bigger ace of Stokes, and when the board ran out 4♥9♠4♣7♥6♦ and the ace-queen was still best to take the massive pot and eliminate Charlton.
Action folded to the small blind Adrian Mateos, who raised to 1,500,000. Gregory Jensen in the big blind then moved all in for roughly 10,000,000, and Mateos made the call to put him at risk.
Gregory Jensen: K♥10♦
Adrian Mateos: K♠Q♠
Mateos had Jensen dominated and secured the knockout after the board ran out 6♣8♦3♦3♣Q♣.

Action was picked up with Adrian Mateos all in and Martin Zamani putting him at risk.
Adrian Mateos: 7♠7♥
Martin Zamani: A♥Q♠
When the cards were turned over, Zamani said, "Oh my god, this is the reverse of the hand when you beat me before," before adding, "Please just let me beat Adrian."
Zamani took a commanding lead after the 4♣A♣Q♣ flop, making top two pair. Then the turn brought flush chop outs after the J♣ hit, and Zamani said, "Please NO! It's better than losing but please!"
Unfortunately for Zamani, the poker gods had other plans, as the river brought the 9♣, giving both players a flush to chop the pot, and keep Mateos in the tournament.
