Ilya Nikiforov went all in for 230,000 from early position. Action folded around to Alex Kulev in the small blind. He used a time bank before making the call.
Ilya Nikiforov: A?7?
Alex Kulev: Q?J?
Kulev took the lead on the 3?Q?3? making two pair. Nikiforov couldn't catch up on the K? turn, and the K? river confirmed his exit from the tournament.
Alex Kulev opened to 60,000 from under the gun before Damian Salas three-bet to 200,000 on his left. Thomas Santerne then used two time banks in the small blind before moving all in.
Kulev mucked, while Salas made the call.
Thomas Santerne: 10?10?
Damian Salas: A?6?
Salas found trip aces on the A?J?A? flop before locking up the hand on the 6? turn. The J? river completed the board, leaving Santerne on the rail in 11th place.
Byron Kaverman raised to 65,000 from under the gun leaving one 5,000 chip behind. Vicente Delgado raised all in for over 1,000,000 chips from the button. Ole Schemion pondered whether to make the call from the big blind. He eventually put in calling chips and Kaverman put in his last 5,000.
Byron Kaverman: Q?4?
Ole Schemion: K?7?
Vicente Delgado: Q?J?
The A?K?8? flop was good for Schemion, but provided Delgado with a Broadway straight draw. Schemion held through the 4? turn and the 2? river to eliminate Kaverman and secure a double through Delgado. "That's me baby!" Schemion exclaimed as he scooped the pot.

Vicente Delgado opened to 50,000 in middle position and Byron Kaverman defended his big blind to the 2?A?2? flop.
Kaverman checked to Delgado, who fired 30,000. The call was made and the dealer revealed the J? turn.
Another check from Kaverman was met with a bet of 120,000 from Delgado. Kaverman called to the 4? river, checking one last time.
Delgado announced all in, putting his opponent to the test. Kaverman counted out his remaining stack, opting to fold and hold onto his last ten big blinds.
Aliaksei Boika opened from under the gun to 40,000. Damian Salas called from early position. Roberto Romanello then went all in for 310,000 from the cutoff. Boika folded and Salas made the call.
Roberto Romanello: A?Q?
Damian Salas: 9?9?
The flop provided both players a piece but it was Salas who hit a set on 9?A?8?. The J? turn provided Romanello with some straight outs but Romanello couldn't get there on the 3? river.
Artur Martirosian opened to 45,000 from under the gun before Vicente Delgado three-bet to 135,000.
Martirosian clicked it back to 270,000 and Delgado called to the 10?10?7? flop. Martirosian led out for 120,000 and was called to the 7? turn.
Martirosian checked and Delgado fired 175,000. Martirosian used two time banks before making the call. The dealer revealed the 5? river, and Martirosian checked one last time.
Delgado bet enough to put Martirosian all in, sending his opponent into the tank. Martirosian used his final four time bank cards before making the call.
Delgado showed A?A?, while Martirosian could only show A?K? to exit in 14th place. He did earn a significant payday thought, pulling a �50,000 bounty before exiting the tournament room �� that's better than fourth-place money.
