Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Natalia Panchenko: 
The 
flop was a tease with the open-ender, but the 
turn and 
river kept Nugmanov in contention.

Everybody Loves a Chop Pot
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leonid Kartashov raised to 10,000 first to act and Stepan Mikhno three-bet to 28,000 in the hijack. Ruslan Mityaev on the button four-bet to 59,500 and Kartashov folded, while Mikhno called after some table chat. The flop came 
and Mikhno checked, Mityaev snap-jammed for around 95,000 and the instant call followed.
Stepan Mikhno: 
Ruslan Mityaev:
The 
turn and the 
river were a formality as both chopped it up.
