: 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Dmitry Yurasov opened under the gun and promptly got three-bet by the player who was next to act. It folded all the way back to him and he took a moment before putting in the four-bet jam. His opponent snap called.
Dmitry Yurasov: K?K?
Middle Position: A?A?
Yurasov was in a miserable spot but the 8?K?6? flop landed and brought new life to his tournament. The 6? turn and 2? river sealed the deal and Yurasov was on the right end of a cooler stay alive.

Ghassan Khalil opened the cutoff to 8,000 before the action was on the button who three-bet to 22,000. It folded all the way back to Khalil who went into the tank and after a few minutes he four-bet all in for his last 157,000. His opponent didn't snap call but they flicked in a chip pretty quickly.
Ghassan Khalil: Q?Q?
Button: A?K?
Khalil flopped a set on the 3?Q?J? board but the Button was holding the ace of hearts to make it a sweat. The 4? turn was not it and the 4? river sealed the deal.
Khalil got a pure double after finding the jam.
