Gor Musinyan: Q♣5♥
The 3♦7♣4♥K♦J♦ board improved Er to top pair, giving him a double-up from his table neighbour.
Daniil Kiselev moved all in from the cutoff for 2,060,000, and one seat to his left, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya moved all in as well, having the rest of the table covered. The action folded through, taking the two players to a showdown.
Daniil Kiselev: K♥J♥
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♣K♣
Kiselev paired his dominated kicker on the flop, but it was in vain as the monotone J♣2♣8♣ flop saw Skhulukhiya flop the nut flush.
The K♦ turn offered new hope to Kiselev, but the 9♣ river only confirmed his elimination.
Yesset Aimukhanov moved all in for 550,000 from the button and was snap-called when the action folded to Zorlu Er in the big blind.

Zorlu Er: A♣K♥
A tough task got even trickier for Aimukhanov on the A♠2♣9♥ flop, but the Q♣ turn did provide renewed hope.
Alas, the A♥ river only served to improve Er to trips, sending Aimukhanov to the rail in 6th place.

Gor Musinyan opened to 200,000 under the gun, which only Giorgiy Skhulukhiya called in the cutoff.
Musinyan fired 150,000 on a 4♠6♥K♥ flop, and another 700,000 on the 9♣ turn, with Skhulukhiya calling both times.
The 6♣ completed the board, and Musinyan sized down to 500,000. Skhulukhiya called a third time, and, after seeing Musinyan was reluctant to show his cards, he tabled 8♠8♦, and Musinyan mucked.
When the action folded to Chengyu Liao in the small blind, Zorlu Er snap-called in the big blind, putting his 1,470,000 at risk.

Er showed the table that he had the K♣.
