Level 3
: 200/400, 400 ante
In a battle of Yuriy's, Yuriy Pantyukhov got the best of Yuriy Brechalov when he called a bet of 1,000 on the 
turn and Brechalov check-folded the 
river to a bet of 3,000. Despite losing that small pot, it is Brechalov that has started well.
Stepan Udalov joined the early big stacks after taking a decent pot off Hristo Dechev. Pavel Kovalenko had raised and Dechev called from the small blind, both then called a three-bet to 3,000 by Udalov. Only Dechev check-called bets of Udalov on the 
flop and the 
turn, the latter for 12,000, before both checked the 
on the river.
Dechev tabled pocket eights and Udalov had that beat with pocket aces.
