Alikiyev Gone in Two Hands
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A big pot was brewing over on table nine as 230,000 were in the middle with the completed board showing 
. Leonid Semenyuk made it 100,000 to go and Narzhigit Alikiyev raised to 225,000 with 50,000 behind. Semenyuk pushed all in and Alikiyev immediately whispered a "shit" before asking for a count.
The all in was for 252,000 total and Alikiyev sigh-folded, then busted the next hand to Artur Osipov. In the meanwhile, Evgeniy Golenko and Aleksandr Chernikov chipped up to become possible contenders for the Day 2 chip lead.
