Nikita Kuznetsov checked from the hijack on a 8♦Q♣3♥J♣ turn. Evgenii Aleksandrov was in the hijack and added 20,000 to the pot of 40,000 with a bet. Kuznetsov weighed his options for a while before he called.
The 10♠ appeared as the river. Kuznetsov checked once more, seeing Aleksandrov quickly check behind. Kuznetsov showed Q♠9♠ for a straight, leaving the A♥A♦ of Aleksandrov in the dust.

Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gerard Rubiralta raised to 2,000 in early position. It folded to Oleksii Trofymenko in the big blind, and he defended.
Trofymenko check-called Rubiralta's continuation-bet of 4,000 on the K♠8♥9♥ flop, after which both players checked the 9♠ turn. Trofymenko also checked the 7♣ river, but Rubiralta reaggressed with a massive bet of 20,500.
Trofymenko did not take long before he sent his cards into the muck, forfeiting the pot to the table chipleader.

In a blind-on-blind battle, Nikita Kuznetsov and Lucas Blanco had reached the 2♦4♠9♠A♠5♦ river. Kuznetsov checked it over to Blanco, who moved all in for 26,000, around a pot-sized bet.
Kuznetsov went deep into the tank. Eventually, the clock was called on him. His 30-second countdown was nearing its end when Kuznetsov tossed in a calling chip.
Blanco could only show a bluff with K♠7♣, and Kuznetsov triumphantly tabled 7♥4♦ for the winning pair of fours.
