Round 5 results:
| 3 | GM | Mamedyarov Shakhriyar | 2763 | 1/2 – 1/2 | GM | Svidler Peter | 2735 | 14 |
| 4 | GM | Gashimov Vugar | 2734 | 1/2 – 1/2 | GM | Akopian Vladimir | 2694 | 2 |
| 5 | GM | Wang Yue | 2752 | 0 – 1 | GM | Eljanov Pavel | 2751 | 1 |
| 6 | GM | Alekseev Evgeny | 2700 | 1/2 – 1/2 | GM | Gelfand Boris | 2741 | 13 |
| 7 | GM | Inarkiev Ernesto | 2669 | 1/2 – 1/2 | GM | Jakovenko Dmitry | 2725 | 12 |
| 8 | GM | Ponomariov Ruslan | 2733 | 0 – 1 | GM | Ivanchuk Vassily | 2741 | 11 |
| 9 | GM | Radjabov Teimour | 2740 | 1/2 – 1/2 | GM | Leko Peter | 2735 | 10 |
In the above position between Wang Yue and Eljanov, White should have played 53. Qg3+ Kc8 then 54. Qe1 with decent chances to win. Wang Yue inexplicably played 53. Qxf5 and after 53…Qc3+, White will either get checkmated or lose the Rook! Therefore, he resigned!
It can happen to anyone!
