GM Robby Kevlishvili attempts to take down the leader with a Sicilian Kalashnikov against Matviishen, managing to walk away with a draw.
With draws on Board 2 and 3, the streak was brought to an end with GM Bilych on the White side of a Classical Ruy, initially at least. After a few deviations from the main line, GM David Berczes ends up in a position with opposite side castling. Olexiy began to take initiative from there, with slow improvements until he was able to take advantage by applying more pressure.
