Mikhail Zavoloka raised under the gun to 1,000,000 and it folded to George Tomescu in the big blind who chose to raise it to 6,600,000, keeping only 625,000 behind. After a minute, Zavoloka shoved and Tomescu sent his last chips in the middle:

George Tomescu: A♠2♠ All in
Mikhail Zavoloka: A♣Q♦

Tomescu's hand was dominated and didn't improve as the board went 4♦9♠7♦K♠9♦, which eliminated him in 14th place for a $59,615 payday.

Bogdan Munteanu opened to 1,000,000 from middle position and Matthew Beinner defended from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♠J♣Q♦, and all the chips went in the middle with Beinner at risk for less than a million.

Matthew Beinner: 7♦6♦ All in
Bogdan Munteanu: A♠A♥

Beinner ran into aces and didn't find any help with the 2♦Q♠ runout so he was eliminated.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Ning Dong shoved in the hijack for 1,750,000 and Bogdan Munteanu decided to call on the button. It folded to Bahar Musa in the big blind who took a minute and shoved. Munteanu snap-folded and the cards were tabled:

Ning Dong: Q♣J♥ All in
Bahar Musa: A♠A♥

Dong was in terrible shape to survive, and found anothing on the 10♣4♣2♦8♣J♠ to officialy bust in 12th place.

Sava Krink

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Bogdan Munteanu opened from under the gun to 1,125,000 and found a single caller in Artem Tuliupa, who defended his big blind.

The flop came A♥Q♥2♦, and after a check from Tuliupa, Munteanu moved all in. Tuliupa snap-called, and the cards went on their backs.

Artem Tuliupa: 7♥3♥ All in
Bogdan Munteanu: A♠10♥

Tuliupa held a flush draw and needed a heart to survive, and the 9♥ turn delivered just that. But celebration came too soon, as the 6♥ river brought a fourth heart and gave Munteanu the higher flush with the ten.

Tuliupa, who had already taken a few hits earlier, saw his run come to an end as Munteanu claimed yet another knockout.

Simon Wilson: J♠8♦ All in
Ian O'Hara: J♦7♥

Despite having a pretty bad hand, Wilson was in the lead. But a board of K♠7♠3♣3♥4♠ dashed his hopes, giving two pair to O'Hara and sending Wilson to the rail.
