Valentino Konakchiev raised 330,000 in late position and action folded to WSOP bracelet winner Niall Farrell, who was in the big blind and short stacked with less than 1,000,000 in front of him.
Farrell re-raised to 500,000, prompting Konakchiev, who had Farrell covered, to re-raise all in. Farrell called to put himself at risk.
Niall Farrell: A♣2♣
Valentino Konakchiev: K♠J♠
The dealer fanned Q♥10♥10♦. Farrell remained ahead with his ace, but the board gave Konakchiev an open-ended straight draw. The 4♥ appeared on the turn, and then 9♣ on the river gave Konakchiev a straight to send Farrell out in seventh place for $57,620.

Niall Farrell raised from under the gun to 400,000 and saw a call come from Girish Reknar in middle position. Action behind folded and the two saw a flop of 3♦J♠8♠.
Both players decided to check the flop to see a turn card that was the A♦.
Farrell check-called a bet from Reknar of 300,000, prompting the dealer to put the K♥ out on the river.
Farrell checked again and watched as Reknar sized up with a bet of 900,000. Farrell thought for a few moments and certainly seemed to want to stick a call in but eventually decided to fold.
Reknar ended up tabling the 8♥8♦ for a set of eights and Farrell stated that he had folded two tens.

Andres Korn opened from under the gun to 325,000. Action folded around to Qiang Xu in the big blind who elected to call and see a flop of 6♣3♣5♦.
Xu checked to see Korn continue with another bet of 325,000. Xu gave it some thought before raising the rest of his chips all in and Korn snap-called to put Xu at risk with two cards to come.
Qiang Xu: A♠7♥
Andres Korn: Q♦Q♠
Xu needed help from the turn or the river to pair his ace or complete his straight but the J♣ turn and the 5♥ river did neither and instead sent Xu to the rail in ninth place for $34,210.
