Wait a Minute
Limongi Leads
With about 65,000 in the middle and the board showing
, Dubinsky bet 36,000, then Limongi raised to 100,000. Dubinsky thought a bit, then called.The river brought yet another heart in the form of the
. Dubinsky checked quickly, then Limongi looked up and said "I check" as well. Both continued to look at each other, then Limongi said "Who shows first?" The dealer indicated Limongi should, and he turned over 
for a pair of kings. Dubinsky slid his cards toward the muck, prompting some raising of the eyebrows and a few "oohs" around the table.Limongi pushes into the chip lead more than 700,000, while Dubinsky is at about 310,000 now.
"Straight's Good"
, Lucasz Plichta led out with a smallish bet of 10,000. After some deep consideration, his lone opponent Vitaly Tolokonnikov stacked out a raise to 45,000 and slid it forward. Plichta didn't take too long to mull it over before making the call."Straight," said Tolokonnikov, turning over
... which makes a straight flush. It's not clear whether or not he ever realized what he was showing down as Plichta mucked and he quietly raked in the pot without any reaction whatsoever. "Straight's good," said someone at the far end of the felt with a slight chuckle.

. The preflop action is unclear but significant as more than 30,000 chips were already piled in the middle of the table. After a check from Alex Fitzgerald, Kirill Boydachenko slid out a bet of 25,500. The American began stacking out a tower of chips, and he eventually check-raised to 62,000, which Boydachenko quickly called.The turn brought the
and another check from Fitzgerald. Without wasting any time again, Boydachenko fired 77,000 at the pot, and Fitzgerald would take his time to consider. He cut down his own chip stack and began to eyeball it against the stack of his opponent, shooting sour looks across the felt. The clock was called on him relatively quickly, but he didn't seem to mind as he quietly said, "I fold," after about another 30 seconds.After that exchange, Boydachenko has leapt up to 390,000, dropping Fitzgerald back to about 180,000.
Turner Terminated
