David Uvaydov moved all in from the small blind to put Ivan Ruban at risk in the big blind. Ruban looked down at his cards and quickly called for just over 60,000,000.
Ivan Ruban: A♥9♦ 
David Uvaydov: 3♥3♣
Uvaydov's rail could be heard rooting for the 3♠ or 3♦ to appear and the flop of 6♠J♣3♦ brought just that.
Ruban was drawing dead and the board ran out K♦, 5♦ to end his impressive tournament run.
Ivan Ruban opened to 13,000,000 with 11,000,000 behind and it folded to Ashish Gupta in the big blind, who inquired about his stack size. "Twenty four again?" he asked and eventually decided to "gamble" to push all-in with the covering stack, Ruban called.
Ivan Ruban: A♦3♠
Ashish Gupta: Q♣9♣
The A♠J♣5♦ flop gave Ruban top pair but Gupta had back door options. One came with the 4♣ turn and Gupta needed another club to deal the final blow. Instead, it was the Q♠ and Ruban doubled once again through the Aussie.
[Removed:548] flopped a set of deuces but got no value from Ivan Ruban, who had missed the flop entirely.
Ruban then limped the 9♦6♥ and [Removed:549] checked with J♠4♦ from the big blind to see the Q♦J♦J♣ flop. Once Ruban checked, [Removed:549] bet 4,000,000 with his trips and won the next pot.
David Uvaydov raised to 9,500,000 on the button with K♠Q♠ and [Removed:548] defended in the big blind with A♣9♣.
The flop came 9♦5♣6♦ and [Removed:549] led out with a bet of 5,500,000. Uvaydov thought for a brief moment before surrendering his hand.
Shortly after, [Removed:549] raised to 8,000,000 on the button with 10♥8♣ and Uvaydov three-bet to 26,000,000 in the big blind holding A♣6♥. [Removed:549] tossed his cards into the muck.
Ivan Ruban had raised for a large portion of his short stack several times and did so again for 13,000,000 with fewer than that behind. He got [Removed:548] and Ashish Gupta to fold, while David Uvaydov in the big blind pondered about his decision for quite some time. Ultimately, Uvaydov pulled the trigger and moved all-in for Ruban to call.
Ivan Ruban: 7♠7♦
David Uvaydov: K♠6♠
The A♣4♦3♠8♦J♠ board awarded another short-stacked double for Ruban to leap back into contention.
David Uvaydov raised to 9,500,000 on the button holding A♥J♦ and [Removed:548] defended in the big blind with 6♦2♦.
The flop came 4♦10♠K♣ and [Removed:549] check-folded to Uvaydov's bet of 5,500,000.
The next hand, [Removed:549] made it 12,000,000 to go in the small blind with A♦4♠ and Ashish Gupta took some time to think through his decision in the big blind with K♥J♣.
After carefully considering his options, Gupta shook his head and tossed his cards into the muck.
Chip leader [Removed:548] raised to 8,000,000 with the 10♣6♣ and was called by David Uvaydov in the big blind with the 5♥4♥. On a flop of K♥9♥6♦, Uvaydov check-called for 5,500,000 with his flush draw and missed it on the 10♦ turn. [Removed:549] had improved to two pair and now bet 22,000,000 for two thirds of the pot, Uvaydov folded.
David Uvaydov moved all in from the small blind with the covering stack holding A♠9♠ and Ivan Ruban folded 9♣2♣ in the big blind.
Shortly after, Ruban was on the button and moved all in for 24,00,000 with A♣J♥, resulting in folds from [Removed:548] and Ashish Gupta in the blinds.
Daniel Lei and Ashish Gupta got preflop shoves through, the latter via open shove with Q♠J♠ to narrowly pull ahead of Lei. Shortly thereafter, it folded to Lei in the small blind and he moved all-in for 47,500,000. Gupta glanced at his cards and called with the covering stack.
Daniel Lei: A♣10♥
Ashish Gupta: 8♥8♦
Gupta demanded to "squeeze the shit out of it, three side dot dot dot dot, all the combos you can get."
The classic flip went to Gupta on a board of 9♦9♠5♣8♠J♣ when the Aussie turned an unbeatable full house to score the knockout, then immediately went to his rail to celebrate. Lei had started the final day as one of the larger stacks but nothing went his way, as he bowed out in fifth place for $349,562.
Ivan Ruban raised to 12,000,000 in the cutoff and Ashish Gupta three-bet all in from the big blind to put Ruban at risk who had 8,000,000 behind. Ruban made the call.
Ivan Ruban: A♣J♠
Ashish Gupta: K♥8♥
Gupta pulled ahead on the 8♠3♣9♠ flop, pairing his eight. Ruban took the lead on the A♠ turn and the A♦ river earned him the much needed double up.
