Action continued to be rapid, with only about 20 minutes passing before David Boyaciyan felt the wrath of Savenkov as well, finisihing in 8th place as he couldn’t win the race with ace-king against pocket sixes.
With seven left, action came to a halt, with nobody exiting the tournament for a little over two hours. Eventually, another victim of Savenkov fell as Damir Gabdullin who had just doubled up, immediately got his stack in the middle with pocket jacks, but ran into pocket queens.
It was deja vu as Ebrahim Ehghaghi had gotten his stack in the middle before the flop with pocket jacks once again, against Savenkov. This time he was up against five-three suited, and despite make a set of jacks, he still was forced to leave the tournament as Savenkov made a flush.
Falling next in fifth-place was Tamazi Skhirtladze who had gotten all of the chips in the middle before the flop with ace-jack, but ultimately couldn't hold against the ace-nine of Vadzim Godzdanker.
It didn't take long from here as Godzdanker fell short-stacked, and got the last few chips in with nine-seven, and couldn't defeat the ace-three of Savenkov.
Konstantin Generalov had quite the short-stack battle, doubling up several times but ultimately couldn't survive to the finish as his final blow came when he jammed king-eight suited on the button, and was called by Savenkov with ace-six in the blinds.
With Generalov eliminated, the heads-up battle began, with many back-and-forth pots, but the ultimate downswing for Kirill Burtin came after becoming short-stacked after running a bluff, and getting caught by Savenkov's trip eights.
Burtin continued to battle, until all of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and he was ahead with ace-high. However, Savenkov smashed the flop, with his king-queen suited, flopping a full house.
This concludes the $1,100 Luxon Pay Mystery Bounty coverage, stay tuned to PokerNews for more Merit Poker Action.
