Azar Takes from Zyharau
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Uladzimir Zhyharau opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Naji Azar three-bet to 40,000 from middle position. Zhyharau made the call.
The flop came K♣6♠5♠ and Zhyharau check-called a 80,000 continuation bet from Nazar.
Nazar moved all in for roughly 230,000 on the 5♣ river and this time Zhyharau quickly folded.
Despite the minor setback Zhyharau still holds one of, if not the biggest chip stack in the room.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Yunsheng Sun and Aleksandar Tot were recently eliminated.
