Shilenkov Eliminated by Volodko

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Evgeniy Shilenkov was down to his last 11 big blinds and moved all-in from early position. Ivan Volodko threw a chip in to signify a call and with everyone else folding, they turned their cards on their backs.

Ivan Volodko: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Evgeniy Shilenkov: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Shilenko was a long way behind and the {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts} was no help to him. He hit the rail, whilst Volodko is now up to almost double what he started the day with.

Denisov Chips Up

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Aleksandr Denisov
Aleksandr Denisov

There was some serious action taking place between Aleksandr Denisov and Igor Shemchuk. The flop was already out and it read {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Both players committed their chips and Denisov was at risk with the shorter stack of 43,100 chips.

Aleksandr Denisov: {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Igor Shemchuk: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Denisov had flopped huge against Shemchuk's pocket rockets and the {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} turn and rivers held for him, putting him over the six-figure mark and is one of the biggest stacks at the moment.

Zakharenko Survives vs Denisov

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Maksim Zakharenko was down to the wire and he chose to get it all-in preflop just now. There were three calls, making it a multi-way pot. The flop fell {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Aleksandr Denisov bet 1,000 and one player called. On the {q-Hearts} turn, he barrelled for 3,000 and his opponent folded.

Maksim Zakharenko: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Aleksandr Denisov: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}

Zakharenko was ahead at this point and the {j-Diamonds} river did nothing to change that and he takes a small pot. He is still under ten big blinds but he has survived to play another hand nonetheless.

There were five players in on a {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop and everyone checked to Roman Gadzhiev who was in position. He bet 5,000 and Viktor Kudinov and Uri Gilboa were the only players to call.
