Ilia Pavlov opened to 110,000 from early position, and received a single call by Nariman Yaghmai in the cutoff.

On the flop 7?K?J?, Pavlov bet 175,000 and Yaghmai called. On the turn 4?, Yaghmai struggled to make a decision after Pavlov fired a second barrel of 700,000.

Yaghmai went deep into the tank, and had to use at least three time banks to finally call.

Nariman Yaghmai: K?Q?
Ilia Pavlov:?K?J?

Yaghmai hit top pair on the flop, but Pavlov had two pair. He improved to a full house thanks to the river J?.

First eliminated player of the final table, Nariman Yaghmai, wins $84,600.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nariman Yaghmai limped in from the small blind and Sergi Reixach checked his option in the big blind.

The A?K?A? flop checked through to the 3? on the turn. Yaghmai check-called a bet of 50,000 from Reixach.

The 9? landed on the river and Yaghmai checked again. Reixach bet out 250,000 and Yaghami went into the tank.

Burning through two time banks, Yaghmai responded with a raise to 700,000, leaving himself just 225,000 behind. Reixach made a swift fold.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Dmitrii Nazarov opened to 125,000 from under the gun. Then Hwany Lee three-bet to 350,000 in middle position. The other players folded, and Nazarov decided to go all in for 1,085,000 chips. Lee snap-called.

Dmitrii Nazarov: 5?5?
Hwany Lee: A?K?

Like he does every time he's at risk, Nazarov turned around so he couldn't see the board 4?10?7?4?5?, but he doubled up, so he sat down and took his chips.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dmitrii Nazarov made a big raise to 125,000 from middle position and Martin Diaz made the call from the big blind. The flop of K?4?3? saw Diaz check to Nazarov, who made a bet of 75,000. Diaz then called before the 6? turn was checked by both players.

Diaz checked again on the 10? river and Nazarov reinitiated the betting for a size of 225,000. Diaz responded with a raise to 675,000 and Nazarov spent his last time bank extension before making the call.

Diaz tabled K?10? for two pair and Nazarov's cards flew into the muck.
