Nicolas Chouity raised to 600,000 from the hijack and only Mehmet Deniz defended from the big blind.
Two checks came after the A♥9♠3♥ flop and the 10♣ appeared on the turn. Deniz checked again, but Chouity fired out 800,000. Deniz made the call.
Both players checked the Q♠ river, which meant Deniz took down the pot with A♦8♣ for a pair of aces.
Due to excessive tanking by some players. the tournament director has decided to make the final ten players go hand-for-hand until one player has been eliminated.
Maksim Shornikau shoved from under the gun for 2,400,000 and Nicolas Chouity shoved from the small blind.
Maksim Shornikau: 7♦4♦ 
Nicolas Chouity: Q♥Q♣
Shornikau was in trouble with two undercards, but found sanctuary on the 4♠4♣6♣ flop as he made trips. A J♣ on the turn didn't make things easy as Chouity picked up a club flush draw, but the A♥ river was clean for Shornikau, and he doubled up.
Adil Tlimisov raised the button to 600,000 and Aleksandr Razinkov defended out of the big blind.
Razinkov check-called a bet of 500,000 from Tlimisov on the 4♠9♠K♣ flop. Upon seeing the J♥ turn, Razinkov decided to lead out for 3,000,000. Tlimisov let go of his hand, and Raznikov added even more chips to his stack.
Richard Broda and Mehmet Deniz just played out two pots, with both of them going to the latter.
In the first hand. Broda opened the hijack to 600,000 and Deniz three-bet to 1,500,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Broda, he called.
They saw a flop of 3♣7♦K♥, where Broda check-called a bet of 650,000 from Deniz to see the 2♦ on the turn. Broda checked, then folded when Deniz bet 1,700,000.
Shortly after, Deniz raised to 600,000 from under the gun and Broda called in the big blind.
On the 4♥6♥4♦ flop, Broda check-folded to a bet of 400,000 from Deniz.
When it folded to Aleksandr Razinkov on the button, he shoved with a stack that covered the entire table. Dawid Smolka peered at his cards in the big blind and then made the call for his stack of 3,400,000.
Dawid Smolka: J♣J♦
Aleksandr Razinkov: 7♠6♠
Smolka picked up jacks at the perfect time, and only a very unfortunate board would see him bust.
A flop of 10♥4♣5♥ came down to give Razinkov a straight draw. The 7♦ turn gave Razinkov even more outs, and the 7♣ on the river improved Razinkov to trip sevens. Smolka was out in 11th place, and Razinkov moved up to 26,000,000.
The tournament was now on the final table bubble.
"Ma" raised from under the gun to 600,000 and "Tommy G" shoved the button for 1,825,000. When it got back to "Ma", he called.
"Tommy G": K♦K♣
"Ma": 10♦10♥
"Tommy G" was well ahead with his pocket kings, and they held on through the 5♣5♦2♦9♠A♥ runout, which earned him a double-up right after dinner.
