Slyvinskyi fired out a continuation bet for 60,000 when the flop came 8♦Q♥A♣, Jackson called. The 6♣ on the turn did not slow Slyvinskyi down and he fired out another bet of 110,000 and Jackson called.

Haiyang Yang raised to 75,000 on the button and Nan Chen made it 300,000 to go out of the big blind.
Yang then four-bet jammed for 1,240,000 to put Chen at risk. Chen thought for a brief moment before giving up his hand.
Yang tabled pocket kings as he dragged in the pot.
Jon Cruz moved all in for his last 340,000 chips from the cutoff, and the action folded around to Mark Jaffe in the big blind. After getting the count, Jaffe made the call and the cards were turned over.
Jon Cruz: A♣Q♥
Mark Jaffe: A♦J♣
Jaffe was behind and needed help, but the board ran out [4c6h8cAhQf], giving Cruz top two pair and the double-up.
Charles Alex-Barton raised from late position to 140,000, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. Guofeng Wang called from the cut off.
The flop came 9♣6♥8♣ and both players checked. When the 3♣ came on the turn Wang put Alex-Barton all in who called.
Charles Alex-Barton: JxQx
Guofeng Wang: AxJx
No player held a club in their hand and when the K♣ came on the river Wang's ace high was good and he was pushed the pot while Alex-Barton was sent to the rail.
Level: 23
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Action went heads up to a flop of K♣5♣9♣ in a hand between Guofeng Wang on the button and Ashton Nikzad in the big blind.
Nikzad check-called a bet of 70,000, bringing the K♥ turn where both players checked.
On the A♣ river, Nikzad checked for a third time and Wang thought for a brief moment before checking back.
Nikzad tabled 4♣4♥ for a flush but Wang turned over 10♣8♥ for a better flush.
After action was passed to him on the button, Tom Verbruggen fired 65,000 on a board of K♠8♦8♠10♣ sending Giuseppe Lomuscio, in the small blind, to the tank. After a few seconds, Lomuscio called to see the last street.
Both players checked the 3♦ river prompting Verbruggen to ask, "How many pairs do you have?" Lomuscio replied,"I only have an ace," then tabled his hand to show A♠J♣. Verbruggen flipped over Q♣10♠ then scooped the pot.
Eshaan Bhalla raised in the cutoff to 50,000, Damarjai Davenport called on the button and Guilherme De Souza Pessoa announced "all in" from the small blind for 365,000.
Bhalla asked Davenport how much he had behind and called the all in when Davenport confirmed the amount. Davenport took his time before folding.
Guilherme De Souza Pessoa: A♠3♠
Eshaan Bhalla: 8♦8♥
Not much for De Souza on a flop of 2♦10♣Q♦, but the 5♥ on the turn gave De Souza some chances to win but the K♥ on the river eliminated him from the tournament. Bhalla playing over 6,000,000.
With some 300,000 chips already in the pot, Jon Cruz stared at a board of 9♣A♥K♦4♣8♠ and decided to go all-in. John Pointer called to put himself at risk for his final 200,000.
John Pointer: A♦Q♣
Jon Cruz: 9♠4♥
Pointer was crestfallen to see that his pair of aces were beaten by an off-brand two pair. Cruz said he had no idea Pointer had flopped such a strong hand.
"I was making a move and got lucky in turning two pair," he said.
