After moving all-in several times to scoop the blinds, Igor Popyk jammed once again for 7,000,000 from the big blind following a limp by Asi Moshe in the small blind. Moshe made the call.
Igor Popyk: 10♣7♦
Asi Moshe: 5♠5♦
Popyk asked for sevens, but he failed to find one on Q♦J♥6♣K♦Q♣ and was eliminated in third place.
Asi Moshe on the button bet 1,200,000 on a flop of 6♦8♦K♥. Qiao Du in the big blind check-called and checked the 2♦ turn.
Moshe fired a second barrel to 2,400,000 and Du eventually made the call.
Both players quickly checked the 7♦ river and Du revealed K♠10♥ for top pair. He didn't have any diamonds, so Moshe flipped over his A♣K♣ to take the pot.
Igor Popyk got his last 2,200,000 all in preflop from the big blind against Asi Moshe, who was in the small blind.
Igor Popyk: A♦A♥
Asi Moshe: K♥9♥
The J♠2♦2♠ flop was safe for Popyk, but the 9♣ turn kept Moshe drawing live. Fortunately for Popyk, the A♠ river wasn't harmful and he scored a much-needed double.
Heads-up on a flop of 4♥6♦A♥, Asi Moshe in the small blind bet 300,000 and Igor Popyk in the big blind called.
Both players checked the 5♦ turn leading to the 3♦ river where Moshe bet 1,275,000.
Popyk raised to 3,000,000 and Moshe went deep into the tank before making the call with A♦Q♣ to catch Popyk bluffing with 10♥9♠.
Qiao Du raised to 700,000 from the button, and Dustin Murphy three-bet to 3 million from the small blind, leaving himself just 700,000 behind. Asi Moshe folded from the big, Du rejammed, and Murphy called off.
Dustin Murphy: A♣J♠
Qiao Du: K♥K♠
Murphy was behind and looking to get lucky. The 10♠2♠J♥ flop gave him a little help, but both the 9♠ turn and 7♣ river bricked to send him to the rail in fourth place.
Level: 33
Blinds: 200,000/400,000
Ante: 400,000
Asi Moshe in the small blind raised to 650,000 and Igor Popyk defended from the big blind.
Moshe continued for 300,00 on the 7♣5♠8♦ flop and was called, then both players checked the 5♣ turn.
The 2♣ landed on the river and Moshe fired 1,875,000 with 8♣2♠. Popyk check-called with Q♠8♥ and scooped the pot.
In the next hand, Moshe bet 300,000 again on a flop of 8♥9♥A♠. Igor Popyk in the big blind check-called.
Moshe fired a second barrel to 1,500,000 on the J♦ turn. Du check-called again and both players checked the 3♠ river.
Du flipped over Q♦9♣ and won the hand.
Asi Moshe raised to 600,000 under the gun, only to be met by a three-bet to 1.9 million from Qiao Du in the small blind.
Moshe called to see a flop of 2♠5♥K♦, and Du continued for 1.1 million.
Moshe paused for a few beats before moving all in, and Du, who had approximately 10 million behind, thought for about two minutes before releasing his hand.
