We caught the tail-end of the action as the red triangle was placed in front of Mikhail Galitski and his remaining stack of 15,025 laid beside it. Galitski was heads up on the river of a 
board with what looked to be over 20,000 in the middle.
Just a few moments went by before his opponent tossed out a chip, representing a call, and Galitski tabled 
for two pair and his opponent reluctantly mucked.
On the heads up turn of 
, Vasilii Koshchii bet 2,525 and Nikolai Kurakin called to see the 
appear on the river. Koshchii now checked and Kurakin bet 4,200 and was quickly called. Kurakin showed 
and that ended up second best to the 
of Koshchii, who built his stack.
The Russian is the second chip leader on his table behind Mikalai Vaskaboinikau.
Almost one dozen players have been eliminated in the first two levels and some, and among them were also Martin Finger and Sergey Kogotkov. The latter never recovered from losing an early all in showdown against Maxim Panyak and subsequently bowed out.
Benjamin Lamprecht opened to 500 from the button and called a three-bet to 1,500 from Vladimir Kartachov on the button.
It was heads up to a flop of 
and a check from Lamprecht was followed by a check from Kartachov.
The turn card was the and when Lamprecht checked again Kartachov bet 2,700.
Lamprecht showed 
and folded.
“Very good.” Kartachov told him.
The full board was out between PokerStars qualifiers Harry Lodge and Mika Nordman reading 
. We didn't get the action previously, but Nordman was first to act and bet 7,000 into a pot of around 11,000.
"Did you mean to bet 2,100 on the flop?" asked Lodge, playing with his chips and contemplating his decision.
Lodge pondered his decision for a long while.
"I'm probably calling," said the 2015 UK Poker Championships Main Event winner.
Eventually Lodge called, and Nordman turned over 
for the nut flush and took down the pot.
Evgeny Platonov opened for 400 from late position and got a call from Alexander Lakhov in the small blind and the player in the big blind.
The flop was 
. Checked to the raiser, Platonov bet 600 with just Lakhov calling.
The turn was the 
and Lakhov check-called 1,000. The river was the and both players checked.
Platonov won a small pot with his 
and Lakhov revealed his 
high card.
Several big names are down to less than half or even one third of the starting stack and that includes Martin Finger, Pedro Lamarca, Anatolii Zyrin and PokerStars Team Online's Mikhail Shalamov.
Shalamov raised to 425 and was called by both players in the blinds. The flop came 
and Shalamov's continuation bet was called by the big blind only. On the 
turn and river both players checked and Shalamov mucked as soon as the big blind flashed 
for a pair of tens.
On the four-way flop of 
, the action checked to Sergei Chantcev on the button and he bet 1,000. The small blind called while Konstantin Puchkov in the big blind and Yaniv Peretz in the cutoff let go. There was no betting action on the turn, and Chantcev took another stab at the pot by betting the 
river for 2,000.
The small blind check-folded and the Russian claimed the pot without showdown.
