Maximilian Schindler raised from middle position to 80,000 and was called in the big blind by Artem Maksimov.
Maksimov fired 100,000 on the 7♣5♦10♥ flop and was called by Schindler.
The K♣ turn did not slow Maksimov down as he bet 300,000 and was called again by Schindler.
Both players checked the 9♥ river to go to a showdown.
Maksimov showed K♥Q♦8♥7♦ for two pair. Schindler mucked his hand.
Johannes Becker raised in early position, and when the action got to Dylan Smith, he enquired about Becker's remaining stack before announcing "pot". Action folded to Smith, who called off the rest of his stack, and the players revealed their hands.
Johannes Becker: Q♠Q♥8♥4♦ 
Dylan Smith: A♠A♦7♠5♣
Becker was behind and looking to catch up, but the A♥2♣J♣ flop didn't help his cause.
The 10♦ turn and 5♦ river were no help, and whilst Smith pulled in the pot, Becker headed toward the exit.

In the 898th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio to offer their thoughts on Doug Polk's recent appearance on Kill Tony, the popular Austin-based stand-up comedy program. How did Doug do in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and company? Let's just say you might be surprised.
Mike, who made a recent appearance in Daniel Negreanu's vlog, then sounds off on the cancelled WSOP Online bracelet event, the crew discusses the recently-announced changes to the WSOP Circuit, Chad goes to the world's largest casino collectibles show, and Matt Savage offers his thoughts as a special guest speaker.
Other topics include bracelet wins by Nick Schulman, Jason Koon, and John Racener, highlights from recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) events, and an exclusive interview with famed poker author Michael Kaplan, who recently released a new book, Advantage Players. The veteran scribe shares several poker stories, including Phil Ivey and Kelly Sun's baccarat edge sorting, the legendary Billy Baxter, and what it was like working with Stu Ungar in what was one of the final, if not THE final, interviews before he passed in 1998.

Johnathan Nader moved his last 70,000 into the pot from middle position. Jeffrey Hakim raised the pot next to act, a total of 235,000. Everyone else folded.
Johnathan Nader: K♥J♠J♥6♥
Jeffrey Hakim: A♣A♥6♦5♣
The board ran out A♠10♥9♥8♣8♠ and Hakim's full house eliminated Nader.
Daniel Negreanu hit the rail after he battled with Evan Krentzman. The hand began when Negreanu raised to 70,000 from the hijack. Krentzman decided to raise to 220,000 from the small blind. Negreanu called, leaving little behind as they both saw a flop.
Krentzman pushed Negreanu all in on the 8♣2♥9♣ flop, and Negreanu called to risk his tournament life.
Daniel Negreanu: 10♦9♥7♦6♣
Evan Krentzman: A♣A♠10♠9♠
Negreanu was looking for his straight outs, but the Q♣ turn and the A♥ river did not bring him any solace as he was eliminated from the tournament.
Alex Foxen raised it up from the hijack and Ben Lamb defended from the big blind. The flop came 8♠8♣3♥ and Lamb led out with a bet of 40,000. Foxen raised to 150,000 and Lamb just called.
The turn was the 5♣ and both players checked to the 7♠ on the turn. Lamb fired out another bet of 400,000 and Foxen looked him up. Lamb rolled over K♣10♥8♥7♦ for the nuts and Foxen paid him off.
Lautaro Guerra raised to 75,000 in middle position. David Eldridge called next to act, and Frank Brannan called on the button.
The board came out 9♠9♥7♦. Action checked to Brannan, who bet 80,000. Only Guerra made the call.
The 10♣ fell on the turn, and now Brannan bet 175,000 when the action was on him. Guerra once again called.
The 4♠ came on the river, and Guerra checked a third time. Brannan now announced "pot," and the dealer counted out that the bet 795,000. This time, Guerra folded.
