Some confusion occurred at Table #4 concerning an out-of-turn bet and what the rulebook states.
As Otar Gurgenidze was checking his cards when it folded to him preflop, the person in the next seat, Evgenii Syshchenko, moved all in for around 50,000. Gurgenidze then moved all in for around 60,000, and Syshchenko was allowed to take his bet back and fold. Gurgenidze called the floor and they explained that as the action had changed significantly, Syshcenko was allowed to get his chips back and fold. If Gurgenidze had just called, then the all-in bet of Syshchenko would have stood and Gurgenidze could then shove when the action got back to him.
Once the ruling was explained, the rest of the table folded and Gurgenidze claimed the pot.
Davit Chochishvili and Maksim Yerakhavets already had their chips in the middle of the table with an ideal river card helping out one of them.
Maksim Yerakhavets: 4♣4♥
Davit Chochishvili: A♠K♠
The runout of 7♠J♠4♠5♥7♥ saw Chochishvili flop a flush but Yerakhavets rivered a full house to snatch the pot away and double up.

The chips had already been piled in on the turn with the board reading 10♠K♥2♠K♠ between Anzor Lobzhanidze and Alexander Ugay, with a pot of around 130,000 up for grabs.
Anzor Lobzhanidze: K♣Q♠
Alexander Ugay: A♦10♣
Lobzhanidze had nothing to worry about and doubled up as Ugay was drawing dead before the river card even landed.
Andrei Shablyka raised to 6,500 from early position and Badri Kvaratskhelia three-bet from the big blind to 13,500. Shablyka called.
They saw a flop of 9♦J♥7♥ where Kvaratskhelia bet 15,000, and Shablyka raised to 50,000. Kvaratskhelia then shoved, and Shablyka snap-called for his stack of around 100,000.
Andrei Shablyka: J♣J♠
Badri Kvaratskhelia: A♥A♦
Shablyka had flopped a set and was two cards away from scooping a huge pot, but was made to sweat a bit when the Q♥ landed on the turn as Kvaratskhelia picked up a flush draw. That flush completed when the 3♥ fell on the river, which meant Shablyka was eliminated.
Day 1c of the EAPT Main Event saw 151 players register, which means there are 23 spots available in the money and on Day 2.
Currently, 52 players remain in their seats so a little over half the field needs to be eliminated before play can come to a close.
A reminder for those that didn't arrive in time for Day 1c - Day 1d kicked off at 6 p.m. and registration will remain open until the start of Level 12 — around 11:10 p.m., and is the last chance players have of running up a stack and making it into Day 2.
