In the first hand of todays final table, Ivan Soshnikov raised it up to 80,000 from the cut off. Valdimir Troyanovskiy defended his big blind and both players watched the flop come down {j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

A round of checks followed before the dealer produced the {7-Hearts} on the turn. Troyanovskiy then led out for 100,000 which was quickly called before the {8-Clubs} completed the board.

A final bet of 200,000 from Troyanovskiy was enough to take down the pot as Soshnikov mucked his hand.

Roberts: {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Leonid Markin
Leonid Markin

Juha Helppi opened the hijack to 80,000 and his next door neighbor Ivan Soshnikov three bet to 205,000 from the cutoff. Brian Roberts folded his button but Leonid Markin in the small blind had far bigger plans. Markin four bet to 475,000 and Troyanovskiy quickly folded his big blind.

Action was on Helppi who didn't need much time to make up his mind; all in for 2,025,000. Soshnikov folded and Markin asked for a count. After a minute or three of thinking he folded, throwing {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} open into the muck.

Chidwick Doubles Through Soshnikov

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Ivan Soshnikov raised it up to 80,000 from middle position. The action fell on Stephen Chidwick on the small blind who moved all in for 770,000 which was enough to force Paul Newey to fold his big blind. With the decision back on Soshnikov, he mumbled to himself before hesitantly making the call.

Chidwick: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Soshnikov: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} to see Chidwick lead from start to finish as he took down the pot. He now has 1,615,000 in chips.

Soshnikov Doubles Through Helppi

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Juha Helppi in the small blind. The Fin put on his sunglasses, peeked at his cards, and shoved all in by placing a big pile of green 100,000 chips into the middle. Soshnikov smiled, checked his cards, and called.

Juha Helppi: {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Ivan Soshnikov: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} reduced Helppi's outs to bust his neighbor, and the {J-Hearts} on the turn didn't help either. The {7-Spades} on the river didn't pair up Helppi either and wasn't the right card to do Soshnikov any damage. Double up!
