flop dark. Bourne checked also as Kostritsyn fired out 180,000 with only Cole making the call.
The turn landed the and after a check from Cole, Kostritsyn fired out 455,000.
The two active players exchanged some inaudible banter before Cole mucked his hand with the 
face up as Kostritsyn collected the pot to move to over the 7,100,000-chip mark.
There won't be a Day 7 for Andrew Brokos. He was all in pre-flop for 565,000 with 
and ran smack into Evgeny Shnayder's pocket queens. No help on the flop and a queen on the turn left Brokos drawing dead.

After a series of preflop raises, Todd Witteles and Niklas Toorell decided to go at it one more time as they both thought it was a good idea to get all of their chips into the middle as quickly as possible.
Witteles:
Toorell:
The board was presented 
to pair the ace of Toorell for the double up. He's up to 2.5 million and perhaps will have the last laugh over Witteles who is in trouble with just 200,000.

.
The board came 
, and Babel survived. He's stacking up about 1.55 million chips at present, while Wissing is now at 1.5 million.
Yet another player has been eliminated with aces. The unfortunate victim this time is Jeffrey Fielder, who four-bet shoved for 600,000 total pre-flop and was called by Cuong Nguyen, who tabled pocket kings. By the turn, 
, Nguyen had six outs to the win. He asked for paint on the river and got it with the 
. That card gave Nguyen a king-high straight to eliminate Fielder.
Corey Emery opened with a raise to 100,000 from early position before Jean-Paul Pasqualini moved all in over the top for his last 530,000. Jacobo Fernandez deliberated before folding the small blind as Emery sighed, "Ok, I'm a donkey, I call!"
Emery:
Pasqualini:
The board ran out 
and Emery spikes his three-outer to send Pasqualini crashing out of the tournament. Emery is now up to 1,275,000.
