This gave Corenkas some much-needed respiratory room, however they weren’t out of the woods but.
The Tremendous MILLION$ remaining desk misplaced its first participant on the hour mark. Blinds had been 125,000/250,000/30,000a when Elio Fox raised to 550,000 from early place. The motion handed to “libre” within the small blind, and so they three-bet jammed for 4,906,997. Mark Radoja immediately folded within the large blind, however Fox snap-called. Fox confirmed pocket kings, libre flipped over a pair of jacks, and Fox survived a scary board to bust his opponent. With that pot, Fox’s stack soared to virtually 10.5 million chips, the second-largest stack.
Elio Fox
Regardless of solely trailing Ponakovs when eight-handed play started, Fox was the subsequent participant out of the door.

Corenkas was once more the shortest stack, with solely 5 large blinds, however they discovered pocket aces and located a double by way of Wisbrod’s suited queen-eight. They then laddered a payout place when Radoja busted in seventh place. Radoja open-shoved for 9 large blinds with queen-jack from the cutoff, and Wisbrod regarded him up with ace-nine from the large blind. Radoja failed to attach with the board, and he was gone.
Anatoly Filatov
GGPoker’s Anatoly Filatov’s quest for a 3rd Tremendous MILLION$ title resulted in a sixth-place end. Filatov misplaced a coinflip with pocket fives in opposition to Corenkas’ nine-eight and was left with 9 large blinds. The very subsequent hand. With the 250,000/500,000/60,000a blinds biting, Corenkas opened to 1,100,000 from underneath the gun, Filatov three-bet shoved for 4,617,544 on the button, just for Ding to cold-call within the small blind. Corenkas ripped it in for six,325,888 in whole, and Ding referred to as. Filatov confirmed ace-queen and Ding pocket jacks, however Corenkas held a pair of kings on the outlet! A ten-high board despatched Filatov to the showers and Corenkas into the chip lead!
The new-running Corenkas continued their sun-run by sending Wisbrod residence in fifth.

Corenkas turned a wheel to bust Wisbrod, however Watson made a six-high straight and earned a short lived reprieve.
Unsurprisingly, with solely 5 large blinds to his title, Watson was the subsequent to fall. Corenkas raised on the button and referred to as when Watson three-bet all-in from the large blind. Watson confirmed king-ten, however Corenkas held ace-king once more, which held to depart solely three gamers within the hunt for the close to $1.1 million high prize.
Aleksejs Ponakovs
Begin-of-the-day chip chief Ponakovs crashed out in third place when he pushed all-in from the small blind for rather less than 9 large blinds with king-eight, and Ding referred to as with king-jack. A jack on the flop left Ponakovs drawing skinny; he was drawing useless on the flip.
Corenkas held twice as many chips as Ding going into the one-on-one battle, and it didn’t take lengthy for the champion-elect to get their fingers on the Hong Kong-based grinder’s stack.
The ultimate hand noticed Ding full the small blind and Corenkas examine. A king-four-six flop with two hearts was greeted by a examine from Corenkas, an 800,000 guess from Ding, and a check-raise to three,700,007 from Corenkas. Ding referred to as, and one other six landed on the flip. Corenkas guess 3,000,600 earlier than immediately calling when Ding moved all-in for 16,058,386.
