The last few hands of the level brought no excitement. Short stack Parker Talbot received a walk on his big blind and the next hand saw a raise to 160,000 by [Removed:17], who claimed the blinds and antes.
Right after, the players were sent into a 15-minute break and the final table was moved to a different corner of the tournament room to give spectators a better possibility to rail.
From middle position. Sergey Lebedev pushed for 390,000. Alex Komaromi pushed from the button for 1,385,000 and both blinds folded.
Alex Komaromi: 
Sergey Lebedev: 
The board came 
and the two chopped the blinds and antes.

Then, Andrey Shatilov raised three hands in a row to 185,000. In the first hand of the set, Alex Komaromi three-bet all in from one seat over and all opponents including Shatilov folded.
The next two hands saw no resistance, and Shatilov claimed the blinds and antes twice.

Action folded to [Removed:17] in the hijack and he raised to 160,000. The cutoff folded but Dmitry Yurasov on the button pushed for 675,000 total. Both blinds released and Yan called as soon as he received the count.
Dmitry Yurasov : 
[Removed:17]: 
The flop came 
and Yan picked up a flush draw. He hit the flush with the

[Removed:17] raised to 160,000 from the cutoff and Andrey Shatilov called on the button, as did Alex Komaromi in the big blind. The 
flop was checked to Shatilov and he bet 225,000. Only Komaromi called and checked the 
turn, Shatilov checked behind.
On the river, Komaromi led for 350,000 and Shatilov gave it plenty of consideration, then called. Komaromi turned over the 
and Shatilov flipped over 
as winning hand.

Seated under the gun, [Removed:17] raised to 120,000. Two positions down Dmitry Yurasov three-bet to 325,000 and the action folded back to [Removed:17]. The pro from New Zealand pushed all in for 1,835,000 and Yurasov called.
Dmitry Yurasov: 
[Removed:17]: 
The flop came 
and railbird Dominik Nitsche commented "That's really good!"
Parker Talbot repeated the comment while nodding.
The 
on the turn and on the river didn't give Yurasov the unlikely comeback and he had to stack off most of his chips. Yurasov was left with just 650,000 or so, but got some of it back the next hand when his push went uncalled.

In the first hand of the unofficial final table, Parker Talbot shoved from under the gun and claimed the blinds and antes. His profit didn't last long though, as Alex Komaromi raised the next hand to 140,000 from the cutoff. Talbot called and then check-folded the 
flop.
Steve O'Dwyer inquired if Komaromi was old and said "you look old." Komaromi grinned back and said he was 26, Talbot replied to O'Dwyer "you are the oldest by a mile."
In the third hand, Andrey Shatilov raised to 130,000 and Pratyush Buddiga called on the button. On the 
flop, the action went check, check. Same applied for the turn and Shatilov bet the 
river to force a fold from Buddiga.
