Markkos Ladev raised to 5,500 in early position before Vicente Delgado moved all in for 59,500 in the hijack. Ladev quickly called to put Delgado at risk.
Vicente Delgado: A♣J♥
Markkos Ladev: A♥Q♣
Delgado found himself dominated until the A♠J♠3♦ flop gave him top two pair. The A♦ turn improved him to a full house, while he sealed the double up once the 3♠ fell on the river.
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 5,500 in middle position, Vladimir Korzinin three-bet to 20,500 in the small blind, and Ponakovs called.
The flop came J♠8♦7♦ and Korzinin bet another 20,500. Ponakovs called to the K♠ turn, where Korzinin bet 25,000. Ponakovs then raised to 63,000 and Korzinin called.
Korzinin checked dark going to the 8♥ river as Ponakovs moved all in. Korzinin had around 120,000 remaining and took only a few seconds before folding.
The action was picked up on a board 3♥4♦6♦ in a hand between Markkos Ladev and Kayhan Mokri. Ladev had got his last 60,000 into the middle and Mokri was trying to bust him.
Markkos Ladev: A♦K♦
Kayhan Mokri: 5♥5♠
Ladev had two overcards and a flush draw that he could hit to stay alive. The 7♥ turn improved Mokri to a straight, thus removing some of Ladev's outs. The 6♥ on the river was no help for Ladev, and he was the first player out of the tournament.
