Tatlenko Scores Big Double

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was a full board of {6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} out with three players in the hand. One of them was Maxim Khabarov who was already all in for around 20,000.

Meanwhile Oleg Titov checked the river to Vadim Tatlenko who moved all in himself for 17,600. Titov called.

Tatlenko showed {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flopped straight, beating the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} pair of tens from Khabarov who was eliminated, and leaving Titov with just 25,000 after he turned over {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for top pair.

Zyrin Pulls Rabbit From Hat in "Triple Range Merge"

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Anatoliy Zyrin
Anatoliy Zyrin

Nikolay Fal opened from late position and Anatoliy Zyrin defended his big blind.

The pair checked the {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and the turn was the {a-Clubs}. Zyrin checked and Fal bet 1,600. Zyrin check-raised to 4,500 and Fal called.

The river was the {j-Spades}. Zyrin bet 11,000 and Fal promptly called. Zyrin turned over {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a rivered pair and Fal nodded before mucking.

Zyrin quickly snapped a picture of the board for posterity, sharing words with some tablemates in Russian which included the phrase "Triple Range Merge" followed by laughter.

Tides Have Turned on Table One

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} board Yuriy Sergachev checked and then folded to a bet of 25,000 into a pot of 40,000 from Nadir Yosupov, allowing his opponent to take yet more chips away from him.

Sergachev had jumped into the chip lead thanks to an early double elimination where he rivered a flush, but he is now almost 100,000 in chips down from his peak. From looking at the stacks around the table, Yosupov had already taken a large portion already before this pot, meaning it is he who is now up over 100,000 in chips.

Yantsev Gets it Right to Bust Mnatsakanyan

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} board with already 25,000 in the middle, Vanush Mnatsakanyan moved all in for 15,700. His opponent, Evgeniy Yantsev, asked for a count before calling.

Mnatasakanyan didn't look happy to turn over {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Yantsev showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. The {4-Hearts} river changed nothing and Yantsev moved up over 100,000 in chips.

Moiseev Eliminates Holodiuk Before the Break

Level 6 : 250/500, 500 ante

Serhii Holodiuk was all in pre-flop with four other players having called him.

The flop of {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} was checked around and the turn was the {q-Hearts}. Sergey Moiseev bet 1,200 from the small blind and Viktor Smolyakov called in the big blind. The remaining players folded.

The river was the {k-Hearts} and Moiseev bet 3,100. Smolyakov called.

Moiseev showed {q-Spades}{3-Spades} for a full house, better than the {7-Spades}{9-Clubs} full house of Smolyakov. Holodiuk's {a-Clubs}{6-Spades} was turned over and he was eliminated.

Ruslan Mityaev: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
