Alexey Rybin has been pushing all in a lot and moved all in once more with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.It was passed to Kayhan Tugrul who clearly had enough of the bullying. Tugrul called with {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the board came {Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{K-Spades} – Rybin made two pair and was back in the fight. Tugrul has been crippled as a result.
