Anatolii Zyrin: 
Naoya Kihara: 
The 
flop brought a set of threes to Kihara, but also provided a world of outs to Zyrin to either scoop or chop the pot.
One of them was the 
on the turn that gave Zyrin a wheel and a six-high straight.
The 
on the river changed nothing and Zyrin earned himself a much-needed double up.
Big O
The game variant changed and Anatolii Zyrin limped in from the cutoff, as did Naoya Kihara in the small blind. Brian Rast checked in the big blind and the flop of 
was checked through. Kihara bet the 
turn and both opponents folded.
Randy Ohel then raised to 70,000 from under the gun and Kihara called. It was checked all the way on the 
flop and 
turn. Ohel then led the 
river for 60,000 and Kihara paid it off to muck when Ohel turned over the 
for the nut flush.

Randy Ohel: /

What started with three way action only left Anatolii Zyrin and Randy Ohel in contention after the latter bet fourth and the former called. Zyrin bet his lead on fifth and Ohel raised. What followed was somewhat unclear as Zyrin tossed in chips but not for the correct amount, since it was more than a call it was a forced three-bet and Ohel called.
Ohel then bet sixth and seventh for Zyrin to reluctantly call and muck once Ohel revealed the 
for a .
Razz
After an uneventful round of Five Card Draw, Razz was called by Brian Rast and he immediately got mixed up in a big pot with the other biggest stack at the table, Randy Ohel.

Rast called Naoya Kihara's bring-in, as did Christopher Claassen and Ohel.
On fourth street, Ohel bet his seven-three up and was called only by Rast's seven-eight.
Rast called bets from Ohel on fifth and sixth, then both players checked seventh street.
Ohel rolled over for a final hand of , and Rast tossed his cards into the muck.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Brian Rast opened to 43,000 in the cutoff and was called by Mike Gorodinsky on the button and Randy Ohel in the big blind. The 
flop was checked to Gorodinsky, who bet 85,000. Ohel asked for the size of the pot and then made it 410,000 to go. Rast quickly folded and Gorodinsky came to the same conclusion.
"Awful fold," Gorodinsky sighed and Ben Diebold asked him "pocket tens?" to which Gorodinsky slowly nodded.
One hand later, Diebold from under the gun, Ohel in the small blind and Anatolii Zyrin in the big blind headed to the 
flop on which Ohel and Diebold invested 25,000 each. Ohel bet the 
turn for 65,000 to receive a call and checked the river.
"How much is in the pot?" Diebold asked the dealer and received an instant "294,000" back. Diebold then bet 210,000 and Ohel folded but retained the lead.
Pot-Limit Omaha
After Randy Ohel raised to 56,000 from under the gun, Brian Rast called on the button and Christopher Claassen called in the big blind.
The players all checked the 
flop, but on the turn, after Claassen checked, Ohel bet 100,000.
Rast called and Claassen folded, leaving just two to the river.
After Ohel checked, Rast cut out a bet of 285,000, which Ohel quickly folded to, passing some of his chips and the chip lead over to the man who was once the shortest stack in the room.
There are around 32 minutes left in the level and the final seven players are back in their seats. A potential dinner break was already discussed and will likely take place after the level as all seven contenders want to finish the tournament today.
