Ivan Ruban raised to 200,000 from the hijack and Chenxiang Miao three-bet to 575,000 on the button. When it got back to Ruban, he four-bet to 1,400,000, and Miao continued via a call.

The dealer spread the 7♣4♠8♠ flop and Ruban carved out a bet of 675,000. Miao stacked up the chips to call, but then opted to raise to 1,400,000. Ruban gave it some thought before three-bet jamming for around 3,400,000 total. Miao instantly called.

Ivan Ruban: A♣5♥ All in
Chenxiang Miao: A♥A♠

Ruban was making a huge move with ace-five and had run into the pocket rockets of Miao.

Ruban looked poised for the rail, although he did have a straight draw he could hit to deliver a brutal beat on Miao.

The 9♦ turn changed nothing, and neither did the K♥ river. Ruban was out in fifth place as the final elimination of the day, while Miao bagged up the chip lead.
