Hand #48: Aliaksei Boika raised to 250,000 under the gun and Steven Wolansky defended his big blind. The flop was {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Wolansky check-called 150,000 from the Belarusian.

The turn was another {A-Clubs} and Wolansky checked. Boika fired a small second barrel worth 250,000 and Wolansky called another street. On the {J-Spades} river, both players checked. Wolansky showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Boika mucked.

Hand #49: Phil Hellmuth limped 120,000 first to act, Wolansky completed and Boika checked. The {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop got checked around.

Wolansky checked the {6-Clubs} on the turn, Boika bet 150,000, Hellmuth called and Wolansky folded. The river was the {2-Clubs} and both players checked. Boika showed {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights and Hellmuth mucked.

Hand #50: Alan Sternberg raised to 265,000 under the gun, Aliaksei Boika three-bet shoved and Sternberg called all in for 1,950,000.

Alan Sternberg: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Aliaksei Boika: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The dealer spread out {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Sternberg doubled to the chip lead.

Hand #51: Boika shoved all in for 1,850,000 on the button and got no customers.
