Kirill Burtin moved all in for 4,600,000 in early position with K♦10♥ as action folded to Fouad Toujani in the hijack. He looked down at A♣Q♣ and used up two time banks before folding.
The rest of the table quickly folded and Burtin took the pot uncontested. Toujani then told the table what he had folded.

Burtin was quick to fold, as Pacini took down the pot.

Dashinka raised to 800,000 in early position and Mohamad El-Sayed called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♦9♠5♣ and Dashinka bet 600,000. El-Sayed then moved all in for 4,650,000 and Dashinka snap-called.
Mohamad El-Sayed: Q♠10♣ 
Dashinka: A♠A♦
El-Sayed's pair of tens were trailing Dashinka's aces as the J♥ turn gave him additional outs to a straight. El-Sayed missed the 7♥ river as he became the first casualty of the final table, exiting in ninth place for $34,450.
