Sarah Link raised to 600,000 in the cutoff and Michal Szczeblewski called in the small blind.
The flop came J♦4♥10♠ and Link bet 500,000. Szczeblewski called and the 8♠ fell on the turn.
Both players checked to the 5♦ river as action was again checked down. Szczeblewski showed A♦4♦ for a pair of fours, but Link had K♥8♥ and won the pot with her eights.
Vagke Sagkinian raised from early position to 850,000 and Sarah Link three-bet shoved from the big blind. Sagkinian had 4,425,000 total in his stack and took around a minute before he called.
Vagke Sagkinian: A♥K♣ 
Sarah Link: A♠A♣
Link had the bullets, and Sagkinian's hand wasn't the kind needed to crack aces. The situation for Sagkinian went from bad to worse on the 6♦6♣2♦ flop as only runner kings or sixes could save him. A 10♥8♠ runout didn't provide that miracle, and Sagkinian was out in ninth.
Cards are in the air for the final table!

Michal Szczeblewski raised to 600,000 under the gun before Cheng Zhao moved all in for 700,000 in the cutoff. Bogdan Roman then reshoved for 2,700,000 on the button, and Szczeblewski used two time banks before folding K♣J♦.
Cheng Zhao: 10♦10♣
Bogdan Roman: K♠K♦
Zhao had run into Roman's kings, and the A♥9♥2♦J♣5♦ board offered no help as he was sent to the rail in 10th place.
The remaining nine players are taking a short break while they draw for seats at the final table.
Tudor Zapsa made it 600,000 to go on the button and Martin Vittek called from the big blind.

Vittek slowed down with a check on the K♦ turn and then folded when Zapsa bet 900,000.
Robert Dascalescu moved all in for 900,000 in the cutoff and Tudor Zapsa called in the big blind.
Robert Dascalescu: K♥4♥
Tudor Zapsa: A♥K♦
Dascalescu flung his arms in the air in frustration after Zapsa showed his hand. The A♣6♣3♠ flop gave Zapsa top pair, while the rest of the board came 10♠6♠ ]and Dascalescu was sent to the rail.
