Tianyu Chen shoved from the button for around 1,600,000 and Richard Broda quickly called from the big blind.
Tianyu Chen: Q♦9♦ 
Richard Broda: A♣K♠
Chen was playing catch-up, and was never able to do it as the 10♣3♥5♠3♠A♥ runout meant he was out in 23rd. Broda, on the other, is on fire and up to almost 12,000,000.
Level: 30
Blinds: 50,000/125,000
Ante: 125,000
The remaining 23 players are on a 15-minute break.
Fatih Aydin made it 500,000 to go from middle position and Aleksandr Razinkov called from the small blind.
The flop came 10♥Q♣4♥, and Razinkov bet 200,000. Aydin only had 130,000 behind and after burning through some time banks in an attempt to make the pay jump, he called.
Fatih Aydin: A♦6♥
Aleksandr Razinkov: A♠J♦
Aydin needed a six, but no help arrived on the 2♣4♠ runout, which meant Aydin was out in 24th.
Aleksandr Razinkov raised to 225,000 from early position and was three-bet to 600,000 by Uri Reichenstein in the next seat. When it got to Maksim Shornikau in the big blind, he cold four-bet to 1,200,000. Razinkov folded, but Reichenstein five-bet jammed for roughly 2,700,000. Shornikau made the call for around half of his stack.
Uri Reichenstein: A♦K♥
Maksim Shornikau: Q♦Q♠
It was a flip between the Big Slick of Reichenstein and the Ladies of Shornikau.
Reichenstein took a commanding lead on the K♦7♠5♦ flop as he paired his king. The 5♥ turn and 2♥ river didn't change anything, and Reichenstein scored the huge double-up.
Richard Broda is coming alive!
Bassel Alanaz raised to 210,000 from the button and Broda made it 720,000 out of the small blind. Alanaz called to see the 6♣4♦7♥ flop, where Broda bet 650,000 and Alanaz called.
A 7♦ on the turn checked through and when the 9♦ hit the river, Broda checked again. Alanaz then fired 1,100,000, and Broda quickly called.
Alanaz showed A♥8♥ for ace-high, but that was no good against the J♠J♦ of Broda.
In the very next hand, Milos Miskovic then raised middle position to 200,000 and Broda three-bet to 525,000 on the button. Nebi Baysal called from the big blind, and Miskovic also called.
On the 4♦2♦J♠ flop, Baysal led out for 600,000, Miskovic folded, and Broda called to the 4♣ turn. Again Baysal bet, this time for 800,000, and again Broda called.
An A♣ on the river slowed things down as both players checked, then Baysal flipped Q♠Q♦ for a pair of queens. Broda, however, flipped K♥K♣ for a pair of kings to win the pot.
Right after that, Viacheslav Balaev opened from under the gun and Tianyu Chen three-bet from middle position to 650,000. Broda then four-bet the cutoff to 1,300,000, which got both of his opponents to fold.

Aleksandr Chernikov raised from early position to 225,000, and Mehmet Deniz three-bet the small blind to 850,000. After the big blind folded, Chernikov called.
When the 9♥8♦3♦ flop came down, Deniz jammed for Chernikov's stack of around 1,700,000. Chernikov instantly called.
Aleksandr Chernikov: 10♥8♥
Mehmet Deniz: A♥Q♦
Chernikov was in the lead with second pair, but Deniz had two overcards he could hit to send Chernikov to the rail.
The A♦ turn catapulted Deniz into the lead with a pair of aces. A 4♥ on the river didn't change anything, and the start-of-day chip leader Chernikov was out.
Gabriel Akiki has a monster stack and just sent Katherina Aristotelos out in 25th, bringing around the three-table redraw.
The action was missed but on a 5♥4♠6♣8♥5♣ board, all of the chips found themselves in the middle by showdown. Aristotelos held a straight with Q♦7♠, but that was no good as Akiki rivered a boat with 8♠8♦ to win the pot.
