Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 2,500 on the button and faced a three-bet to 14,000 from small blind Andrew Ostapchenko. Shylko put in the required chips for a call and the 5♦8♣A♥ flop was dealt.
Ostapchenko slowed down and checked, after which Shylko made a bet of 8,000. Ostapchenko let out a little sigh but stuck in a call anyway.
On the 9♦ turn Ostapchenko check-called again when Shylko sized up to 35,000 chips, after which he checked again on the 10♣ river.
Shylko decided to wager all his chips but a single T-1,000 chip. Ostapchenko made the call within his allocated 30 seconds and Shylko tabled 7♦7♣.
Ostapchenko had made the right call with his A♦6♦ for a pair of aces and doubled up during the first few minutes of play. Shylko, meanwhile, lost his final chip the next hand and quickly vacated the tournament area.

Mike Lang raised to 2,500 in the cutoff and Seth Davies called in the small blind.
The flop rolled out 4♣4♠J♥ and Davies checked over to Lang who bet 2,000 which Davies responded too by raising to 7,000 and Lang called.
Action checked down on the 9♥K♠ runout and Davies showed 8♠6♣ for eight-high which was no good against Mike Lang's A♥7♥ for ace-high.
