Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was on the turn with a board reading 6♥10♥7♠2♥. Stanislav Tishkevich bet 7,000 into a pot of 17,000. Chip leader Zyad Qasem was in the small blind and called.

The river was the 6♠ to pair the board. Qasem led for 30,000 which was enough to cover Tishkevich who had about 26,000 behind who went into the tank to think it out.

After about 30 seconds he called it. Qasem tabled the 8♥7♣ for just a pair of sevens and Tishkevich tabled his A♥5♥ nut flush to take from the big stack.

"It really looked like a a full house" said Tishkevich as he stacked his chips.

"It was supposed to," replied Qasem.

Player	Chips	Progress
Zyad Qasem	411,000 -26,000	-26,000

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Andrew Mizak opened 2,500 in early position and Victor Dai called in the cutoff before Aleksandr Gofman moved all in for 16,600 on the button. Mizak got out of the way, but Dai made the call.

Aleksandr Gofman: K♠Q♥ All in
Victor Dai: 10♥10♣

The Q♦10♠5♥ flop gave Gofman top pair but unfortunately for him, Dai flopped a set. The 9♦ turn gave some hope with a gutshot straight draw but the 2♦ river was a brick as Gofman stood up from the table.

Yucel Eminoglu, who finished runner-up in a bracelet event earlier this series, is hanging around with a short stack.
