Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier raised to 80,000 from under the gun, and Dmitry Yurasov called from the big blind. The flop came out 
, and Yurasov checked. Mercier bet 70,000, and Yurasov folded.
We missed the pre flop action, but suspect Ismail Erkenov in the cutoff just flatted Chidwick's early position raise pre flop .
We saw Chidwick bet 100,000 on 
, and Erkenov pushed all in for 480,000 total. Chidwick instantly called.
Chidwick: 
Erkenov:
The 
on the turn and 
on the river were blanks, and Chidwick had to hand over a serious portion of his chips.

Dmitry Yurasov just lost a big pot to Carlos Chadha. The two were involved in a pot on the final 
board, and Yurasov was first to act. He fired all in, having Chadha and his remaining 640,000 covered. Chadha quickly called with the 
for a flush and that beat Yurasov's 
.
Chadha stacked up his new chips and moved to 2.4 million, while Yurasov was knocked back to 1.3 million.

Joao Vieira opened, and called Dario Sammartino's shove. Vieira had 
and was up against Sammartino's 
.
Vieira flopped top two on 
, but Sammartino would hit runner runner spades to hit his flush: 
, .
That knocked back Vieira to 230,000, which he would get all in two hands later.
In that hand Stephen Chidwick opened under the gun to 80,000, and Maxim Panyak made the call in the cutoff. Vieira shoved on the button for 210,000 and both blinds folded. Chidwick re shoved, Panyak folded.
Vieira: 
Chidwick: 
The 
favored Vieira, and he gained some breathing room again.

Marc-Andre Ladouceur opened under the gun to 85,000, and Ihar Soika (cutoff) and Dmitry Yurasov (button) made the call. Jason Mercier in the small blind pushed all in for 765,000, and the big blind quickly folded. So did Ladouceur, but Soika had other plans. He announced all in over the top, and Yurasov quickly folded.
Ihar Soika: 
Jason Mercier: 
The 
on the flop already wasn't bad, but the on the turn was truly magnificent for the Team Pro. Mercier just needed to dodge a nine, ten, and four, and did just that with the on the river.

Agshin Rasulov raised from the button to 85,000, and Dmitry Yurasov called from the big blind to see the flop come down 
. Yurasov checked, Rasulov bet 90,000, and Yurasov called.
The turn was the 
, and both players checked to see the 
land on the river. Yurasov bet 245,000, and Rasulov called.
Yurasov mucked his hand and that meant Rasulov didn't need to show to win the pot. He didn't, and the dealer pushed the few hundred thousand in chips his way.
