Lidiya Kozenkova faced an open raise by dominating chip leader Giorgiy Skhulukhiya and three-bet to 725,000. Skuhukhiya then four-bet all in and Kozenkova beat him into the pot.
Lidiya Kozenkova: 
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: 
The rail jumped to their feet and saw Kozenkova miles ahead. Her double up was secured by the time the turn showed 
and the 
river was a formality. Skhulukhiya had to fork over 3,870,000 and dropped to around 10 million.

Yi Ye opened to 230,000 and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya called from one seat over. The flop brought 
and both players opted to check.
Ye then check-raised the 
turn from 205,000 to 780,000 and Skhulukhiya quickly called. Ye near-instantly shoved the 
river for exactly 1,000,000 and Skhulukhiya was in the tank. The clock was called on him and Skhulukhiya folded.

A battle of the blinds between Yi Ye and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya, the completed board showed 
and there were 1.4 million in the middle. Ye was in the tank, facing a bet of 925,000 by Skhulukhiya. Two minutes passed and Skhulukhiya suddenly started grinning to the rail, which even made Ye smile and resulted in a call a few seconds later.
Skhulukhiya then burst out laughing as he tabled the 
for trips and cemented his status as the runaway chip leader.
One hand later, Lidiya Kozenkova raised to 250,000 and folded to a shove by Skhulukhiya, revealing her

Egor Sukhov raised to 225,000 from under the gun and Lidiya Kozenkova three-bet to 725,000 on the button to force a fold. Sukhov raised again the next hand and won the blinds and big blind ante.
Yi Ye then raised twice in a row. First, he got through when making it 210,000 and then he was on the cutoff and raised to 350,000. Giorgiy Skhulukhiya on the button moved all-in for an effective stack of 4 million, Ye folded.
