The Bubble Bursts; Avanesyan and Metelskiy Chop Min Cash

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vitaliy Avanesyan
Vitaliy Avanesyan

There were two all in and a call at neighboring tables and they had to wait for all other hands to finish before proceeding with the showdown.

First up, Oleg Volkov raised to 25,000 on the button and Artem Metelskiy jammed his last 82,000 in the small blind. Ilias Hadzhyiakhiaiev in the big blind reshoved for double of that and Volkov folded.

Artem Metelskiy: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Ilias Hadzhyiakhiaiev: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board came {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Metelskiy's elimination ensured that the bubble had burst. However, he could still get half of the min cash as Vitaliy Avanesyan was at risk for 60,000 one table over against Vasiliy Tsapko.

Vitaliy Avanesyan: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Vitaliy Tsapko: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

There was an uproar on the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop as both hit their set, and no miracle one outer came on the {3-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river.

Sergey Kudryavtsev

Several players survived the bubble with very few chips and as soon as the min-cash was secured, half a dozen players were sent to the rail including Petr Bartagov and Aleksey Runets.

Miller Among Next Bustouts

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Katerina Miller was all in with her last few chips and the {a-Spades}{8-Spades}, and big stack Aleksandr Chernikov called with the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

On a board of {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, the river improved Chernikov to the superior two pair.

In the meanwhile, Pavel Vershinin has been spotted on a massive stack of more than 1.6 million and it seems likely that he claimed the stack of Sergey Kudryavtsev after the bubble had burst.

Dmitriy Bimurzaev
Dmitriy Bimurzaev

Dmitriy Bimurzaev was all in with the {a-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Ivan Fedorov looked him up with the {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Bimurzaev flopped a gutshot on {k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, but the {9-Clubs} turn and {j-Hearts} river run out instead completed a straight for Fedorov.

Volkov and Mikhno Eliminated

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Leonid Semenyuk
Leonid Semenyuk

Oleg Volkov sent over his stack to Leonid Semenyuk as his cards were already in the muck. Semenyuk had turned the nuts with {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a jack-high straight on the {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board to become the latest chip millionaire.

Right after one table over, Stepan Mikhno was all in with the {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} after a {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and Dmitryi Ilyin snap-called with the {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

Nothing changed with the {8-Hearts} turn and {8-Clubs} river and that reduced the field to the final seven tables.
