"All in and call!" was overheard by a dealer on Table 7 with the board reading . Eric Fournier was the one at risk in the big blind and Dmitry Yurasov was the one looking to send him to the rail.
Eric Fournier:
Dmitry Yurasov:
Fournier's sixes were in trouble against Yurasov's flopped pair of kings and he was unable to improve any further as the turn and river finished the runout, resulting in his elimination from the tournament as Yurasov earned the pot to bring him ever-closer to the million-mark.
Maryna Khatskevich raised from under the gun to 35,000 and it folded back around to big blind Jose Quintas. Quintas opted to push all in for effectively 396,000 as he covered Khatskevich.

Maryna Khatskevich:
Jose Quintas:

There was around 120,000 in the middle on a board of in a heads-up pot between Dominykas Mikolaitis in the big blind and Clement Richez, who was in middle position. Mikolaitis had checked to Richez and action was back on him facing a bet of 35,000. He took about a minute and then check-raised to 125,000. Richez thought for about 35 seconds and called.
The river came and Mikolaitis announced he was all in. Richez immediately called.
Dominykas Mikolaitis:
Clement Richez:
"Wow," said Mikolaitis realizing his second-nuts was up against the stone nuts of Richez. "It's insane," he added.
His chips were pushed Richez's way and a floor man came to walk him to the payout desk.
"Good luck, guys," said Mikolaitis as he made his way from the table. Meanwhile, Richez has continued to accumulate and now finds himself with what looks to be 2.5 million in front of him going to the first break of the day.
