8 Max Survivor 2K Bounty to ITM ($1,000)

Johan Lees opened on the hijack and called Nikolai Guliaev's short stack all-in for 30,500 (6 BB).

Gunning for overcards, Guliaev found none on board 5♥ 5♦ 7♣ J♣ 4♥ , leaving the rest of the 27 players onto the knockout phase.

Nikolai Guliaev opened 5,000 utg and Thang Hung Nguyen completed on the big blind.

On flop A♦ K♣ K♦ , Guliaev continued for 7,500, check called by his opponent. Both checked turn 5♦ through to river 3♥ , where Nguyen led a final bet of 13,000. Guliaev paid the price and mucked as Nguyen showed trip kings K♥ T♣ .

Pham Bao opened utg and called a 15,000 three bet from Nikolai Guliaev on the cutoff.

On board Q♦ J♥ 2♣ 9♣ , Pham took initiative and went ahead to lead both streets - 7,000 and 25,000. Guliaev called the first bet but gave it up after Pham showed no signs of slowing down.

With a pot of 18,000 already in the middle across board 5♠ 8♣ A♠ 4♦ , Nikolai Guliaev continued with an overbet of 25,000, and snap called for his remaining 46,000 after Peter Manic check jammed from the big blind.

Manic A♦ 4♠

Guliaev 4♥ 4♣

Crushed against a set, Manic lost two thirds of his stack as river 7♦ failed to save him from his demise.

Peter Manic defended his cutoff open and called a 7,500 three bet from Nikolai Guliaev on the small blind.

Guliaev continued for 5,000 on flop Q♣ 2♣ 5♦ and put in 7,000 more following a raise from Manic. Both checked down turn T♣ and river 4♣ , revealing Guliaev's ace-high A♥ K♦ , no good against Manic's pair of fives 5♥ 3♥ .

Khayal Abbasov opened 1,300 utg, called by a player behind along with Nikolai Guliaev on the small blind.

Abbasov continued for 1,800 on flop 8♥ 4♠ 9♦ , weeding out none of his opponents off the pot. All three checked turn Q♠ and river 5♣ to showdown, where Abbasov revealed pair of eights K♦ 8♦ for the win.
