Hand #48: First to act, Artem Metalidi raised it up to 700,000 and Ryan Phan called out of the small blind. On a flop of {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, Phan checked and Metalidi checked behind to see the {10-Hearts} appear on the turn. Both players checked once more and the {8-Clubs} river completed the board.

Phan now bet 1,700,000 and Metalidi released his cards into the muck.

Hand #49: Frederik Brink limped the small blind and Metalidi checked his big blind option, the flop came {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. No betting action took place and the {3-Clubs} turn, Brink bet 500,000 and was called by Metalidi. The {J-Hearts} river brought a bet of 1,200,000 by Brink and Metalidi raised it up to 4,000,000. Brink gave it some thought and elected to fold.

Hand #50: Phan opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 625,000, and he picked up a call by Metalidi in the small blind. On the {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, both players checked and Metalidi also checked the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn. Phan bet 850,000 and that won the pot without further resistance by Metalidi.

Hand #51: Brink raised to 675,000 in the cutoff and Joe Cada came along from the big blind. The {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop went check, check, and the {4-Spades} on the turn triggered a bet of 1,200,000 by Cada. Brink folded and dropped to 22 big blinds as a result.

Hand #52: Aram Zobian raised to 700,000 on the button and Nicolas Manion called in the big blind. There was no betting action on the {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop and Manion checked the {J-Diamonds} turn, Zobian bet 525,000 and that forced a fold from Manion.
