Kasparas Klezys opened to 650,000 from the button and called when Ruslan Volkov moved all in for 4,700,000 from the big blind.
Ruslan Volkov: 10♠10♥

Nils Pudel raised to 600,000 under the gun and Michael Rocco called in the small blind. Eric Tsai also came along from the big blind.
The flop came K♣9♠7♠ and Pudel bet 550,000. Rocco then raised to 1,400,000 and Tsai called. Pudel tanked for a few minutes before folding A♦A♣, leaving Rocco and Tsai heads-up to the 2♦ turn.
Rocco then moved all in for 4,600,000 and Tsai gave it some thought before calling. He showed K♠3♠ for a pair and flush draw, while Rocco had 9♦9♣ for a set of nines.
The 2♣ fell on the river and Rocco improved to a full house to earn a double up, knocking the start-of-day chip leader down to a short stack.
