Denes Kalo is the only player under $1 million in chips and in danger of making an early exit here. Just moments ago Glen Chorny made an $82k pre flop raise and Kalo made the call. Both players checked the A 10 K flop, but Chorny bet out $105,000 on the 9 turn.

Kalo made the call and after the 3 river Chorny fired away again making it $205,000. Kalo called and Chorny felted the 9 9 raking in the pot with the set. With just $721,000 left now the Hungarian is the shortest stack at the table. Chorny still leads with over $3.8 million.

The ticking time bomb that is Valeriy Ilikyan has now exploded. Ilikyan open shoved with A Q and ran smack into Michael Martin's A K. The 6 7 8 flop left the Russian drawing very thin and the A didn't help.

Needing one of the two queens left in the deck that wasn't the Q, the 2 river sent Ilikyan out 7th. He'll cash €253,000.

Michael Martin took some hits leading up to this last hand but managed to double up thanks to a very questionable play from the Russian, Valeriy Ilikyan. The hand began with Martin raising to $80,000 and Ilikyan moving all-in for $1.1 million, effectively setting Maritn all-in.

The American made the call and saw he was in great shape with A Q to Russia's A 4, leaving us wondering how you commit that many chips with A-4 offsuit. Ilikyan's predicament went from bad to worse when the flop came down A Q 6. The 5 hit the turn and Ilikyan was drawing dead. He's now up over $1.3 million.

Michael Martin just lost a few more chips in a hand against Russia's Valeriy Ilikyan. The American opened from the button and Ilikyan defended from the big blind. The flop came down 7 6 3 and after Ilikyan checked, Martin bet out. He got a call and the turn brought the 2.

Both players checked and Ilikyan tossed in a quick $100,000 when the turn brought the T. Martin made the call and Ilikyan showed the J for the flush. Martin immediately shook his head and told the table he hadn't even noticed the four diamonds on the board. Martin's pocket fours are useless and pitches them in the muck. After the hand Martin is down below $600,000.

Maxime Villemure just doubled through Valeriy Ilikyan when a coin flip went his way. Ilikyan started all the fun when he made it $80k to see a flop. Villemure then joined in pushing all in for another $644k and the Russian made the call.

It was A K for the Canadian against Ilikyan's 9 9 and the race was on. Villemure took the healthy lead with the A 10 6 flop and it got even better with the A turn. Only a nine on the end would send Villemure to the rail but the 2 came down and he doubled up.

Ilikyan is now on the short stack.

Glen Chorny continues his strong play just picking up another decent pot. The action began when Maxime Villemure made it 80k from the small blind and Chorny called. The 3 10 10 flop went check-check, but after Villemure checked the 9 turn Chorny fired out $81k. Villemure made the call and checked again on the brick-like 2 river.

Chorny bet out $225,000 and Villemure took his time before making the call. Villemure was forced to muck when his fellow Canadian countryman revealed 8 8. Villemure is now the short stack at the table.

We return to the action with the start of Level 25!

With the end of the level upon us it's time for a 15-minute break.

Isaac Baron just picked up a decent pot from Valeriy Ilikyan. Baron bet $100k into the 3 8 7 flop and Ilikyan made another one of his lightning quick calls.

Both players checked the 7 river, but when the 2 river hit Ilikyan bet out $100. Baron cut out $375k from his stack, added another $5k chip and put in a $280k raise. Ilikyan made another fast call, but didn't reveal his cards after Baron showed the 6 9 flush.
