Friday´s schedule:

3:35 Iury Wolf suffers the cruelest fate in Flight 1C

Iury got his short stack in with Ax Kx against his opponent's pocket sixes. The Qx Qx 9x Kx 6x runout left him drawing dead on the river, and Iury finishes as the bubble boy.
3:25 Boris doubles up

Boris got his last 160,000 in preflop with Qx Jx against his opponent's Ax Tx. The Jx 7x 2x 3x Kx runout secured the double-up, and play remains hand-for-hand.
