Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ilia Pavlov opened to 160,000 from the hijack and then Sergi Reixach in the small blind three-bet to 560,000.

Pavlov called to see the flop 3♠2♣K♣, where Reixach bet 250,000. Pavlov raised to 1,000,000. Reixach counted his stack and called.

On the turn 6♣, Pavlov bet a modest 500,000 and Reixach check-called.

The 8♥ landed on the river and Reixach checked before Pavlov moved all in.

"I'm going to use those time banks," Reixach said, spreading his time bank cards in front of him. He went into the tank for one minute and eventually called with K♦6♦ for two pair.

"Nuts," said Pavlov, revealing A♣8♣ for the best possible flush and best possible hand. He became the first player in the tournament to accumulate over 7,000,000 chips.

Selahaddin Bedir opened to 160,000 from under the gun, then Danil Rafikov three-bet to 410,000 from the hijack. In the small blind, Martin Diaz asked Rafikov how much he had behind, but the Russian player didn't want to answer.

Diaz moved all in. Bedir folded what he said was a pair of eights and Rafikov looked at the payouts, before calling.

Danil Rafikov: Q♣Q♦
Martin Diaz: A♣K♠

Rafikov was slightly covered. Diaz hit a pair of kings directly on the flop, with the final board of 4♥K♦2♣5♥10♦, leading to Rafikov's elimination.

Selahaddin Bedir raised to 160,000, from the hijack. Dmitrii Nazarov called on the button, as did Hwany Lee in the big blind.

The 3♦A♥2♠ flop checked through to the 7♥ on the turn. Lee took the lead for 325,000. Only Nazarov called.

The 6♦ river saw Lee bet out 625,000; enough to put Nazarov all in. Nazarov looked pained in his decision, but ultimately called off the bet for his tournament life.

Dmitrii Nazarov: A♣K♥
Hwany Lee: A♠3♥

Nazarov's top pair was no match for the two pair of Lee and he was sent to the rail in seventh place.
