Li Liang raised to 300,000 in the small blind with A♦10♥ and Yuriy Kudrynskyy called in the big blind with J♣8♦.
On the 8♥7♦6♦ flop, Liang led for 225,000 before Kudrynskyy clicked it to 475,000, and Liang called after a minute's tank.
The turn brought the K♣ as Liang checked it over to Kudrynskyy who bet 375,000, and Liang quickly folded.
Yuriy Kudrynskyy opened to 200,000 under the gun with A♠J♦ and Ryan Syrko flatted on the button with J♣10♣, with Li Liang coming along from the big blind with J♥5♥.
On the A♣10♠9♠ flop, Liang checked to Kudrynskyy who bet 250,000. Syrko called and Liang got out of the way.
Heads-up to the 2♥ turn with just over pot behind for both players, Kudrynskyy opted to lead all in for 1,500,000. Syrko, who covered by a single blind, laid it down fairly quick, conceding the pot to Kudrynskyy.

Yuriy Kudrynskyy limped in from the small blind with 10♠8♠ and Bin Weng checked his option in the big blind with 9♥5♥.
The A♠5♣5♦ flop checked through to the 4♠ turn which saw Kudrynskyy lead for 160,000. Weng responded with a raise to 465,000, and Kudrynskyy called.
The river brought the Q♥ as Kudrynskyy checked his missed draw. Weng bet 770,000, and Kudrynskyy quickly folded.
Yuriy Kudrynskyy opened to 160,000 from the hijack with A♣K♠ before Frank Costigan committed 1,750,000 of his stack from the cutoff, leaving 90,000 behind. In the big blind, Giorgi Arveladze cold-called, but Kudrynskyy opted to lay it down.
On the K♦6♥2♣ flop, the rest of Costigan's 90,000 was in the middle.
Frank Costigan: 10♦10♣ 
Giorgi Arveladze: A♦K♥
Arveladze had paired his king on the flop, which was unfortunate for Costigan after Kudrynskyy folded two of the outs. Costigan could not improve on the 3♥ turn or the 9♣ river, and his run ended in sixth.

The final six return today for the $650 Super Deep 6-Max at the 2026 Borgata Summer Poker Open, with $41,150 and the title still up for grabs.
Giorgi Arveladze resumes play as the chip leader after bagging 4,495,000 (56 big blinds) at the end of Day 2. The Georgian spent much of the day near the top of the counts before pulling away on the final table to build a comfortable lead heading into the finale.
His closest challengers are Yuriy Kudrynskyy (2,810,000) and Ryan Syrko (2,610,000). Syrko vaulted into contention late on Day 2 after his ace-king improved against two players holding pocket queens in a huge three-way all-in.
The remaining finalists are all well within striking distance. Li Liang returns with 2,330,000, while Bin Weng (1,930,000) and Frank Costigan (1,880,000) complete a remarkably even final table, with every player starting the day holding at least 24 big blinds.
Cards are in the air at 12 p.m., with the BetMGM livestream beginning at 1 p.m. PokerNews will be providing live updates throughout the final table, with coverage following the livestream to avoid spoilers for viewers watching the broadcast.
