Miao continued on the 6♠ turn, choosing the amount of 900,000. Liu gave it a long tank and ended up folding. Miao revealed a 2♦ for trips as the pot went over to him.

Kharlin Sued raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and called when Charles Alex-Barton moved all in for 350,000 from the small blind.
Charles Alex-Barton: K♣Q♥ 
Kharlin Sued: K♠K♥
An already difficult task for Alex-Barton became impossible on the 5♦K♦3♣ flop, as Sued improved to top set.
The J♥ turn and Q♦ river completed the board, making Alex-Barton's elimination official.
Zexiang Sun shoved for his final 875,000 from the cutoff and was called by Myles Mullaly in the big blind to be at risk.
Zexiang Sun: A♥K♦
Myles Mullaly: 9♠9♦
The flop favored Sun as it came 3♣2♥K♥ to improve him to top pair.
The J♥ turn, and the 3♥ river did not alter the standings as Sun secured the double-up.
It was a preflop clash as Julien Sitbon was at risk against Anatoly Nikitin for his tournament life.
Julien Sitbon: 9♣8♣
Anatoly Nikitin: A♥10♥
Sitbon was unable to improve on the 2♦2♣Q♦6♥7♠ runout to be eliminated on Day 3. Nikitin shot back up the chip counts in what has been a turbulent level.
The action folded to Ivan Ruban in the small blind, who limped in before calling a raise to 100,000 from Charles Alex-Barton in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 10♠8♣J♠ flop, promoting Ruban to lead out for 100,000 on the 8♠ turn, which Alex-Barton called.
Ruban opted for the same bet, 100,000, on the K♦ river, but this time Alex-Barton folded, leaving himself with less than ten big blinds.
Daniyal Gheba bumped it up to around 220,000 from the small blind and Anatoly Nikitin defended his big blind.
The dealer fanned out the 4♦Q♦Q♠ flop and Gheba continued for 120,000. Nikitin called.
A J♣ on the turn checked through for the K♣ to complete the board. Gheba checked again and folded against the 175,000 bet from Nikitin.
Chenxiang Miao raised to 80,000 from middle position, and only Xiaohu Liu called out of the small blind.
Liu check-called a bet of around 60,000 from Miao on the 6♣K♣10♥ flop.
The K♠ on the turn saw Liu check-call a second bet from Miao, this time for 150,000.
Two checks came after the 3♣ river, and Liu's A♥10♠ for two pair, kings and tens, was enough to take down the pot.
When the action folded to Anatoly Nikitin in the small blind, he raised to 120,000, which Brian Gates called in the big blind.
The action checked through on the A♠4♥4♦ flop, and the dealer added the 2♥ to the board.
Nikitin put a bet of 80,000 into the middle, which Gates called. However, when Nikitin put another 100,000 into the pot on the K♠ river, Gates returned his cards to the dealer.
Anatoly Nikitin and Daniyal Gheba were at it again as both players put in 250,000 preflop to bloat the pot.

The 3♠ turn led to a check by Gheba and a bet of 300,000 from Nikitin.
Gheba was not ready to relinquish his hand and made the call to bring the Q♥ river.
Nikitin staged a large bet of 1,210,000 after it was checked to him on the river. Gheba gave it some thought before he folded as Nikitin got one back off of Gheba.
