Two Outs Are Plenty for Ruslan

Ruslan Prydryk open-raised to 12,000 from middle position, and Kalle Niemi three-bet to 35,000 a few seats over. When it came back to Prydryk, he didn't waste much time moving in for his last 91,400, and Niemi instantly called.

Prydrk was at risk with {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts}, and he was in a bad way versus Niemi and his {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}.

The board was clean until the river, but it came {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {K-Spades} {6-Spades}. The two-out six ball on the river drew opposite reactions from the two men's cheering sections along the rail as it shipped a double up over to Prydryk.

Prydrk - 190,000
Niemi - 35,000

Stepinski Steps Out

Jeremi Stepinski was all in for less than 40,000 before the flop with {A-Diamonds} {5-Spades}, and Konstantin Puchkov looked him up with {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}.

Board: {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts}.

That's all she wrote for Stepinski, leaving us with 36 players remaining. The money bubble draws ever nearer.

Hedlund Gives Vaserfirer a Kiss

Peter Hedlund, the Happy Swede

Peter Hedlund raised to 11,000 before Oleksandr Vaserfirer reraised to 27,000. Action got back to Hedlund and he began prying Vaserfirer for information. About half a minute after action fell back on Hedlund, Anton Genadiev called the clock.

"Really? I'm going to call the clock on everyone now." responded Hedlund.

Eventually, Hedlund announced that he was folding two eights. Vaserfirer showed two black jacks and Hedlund threw his arms up in the air, congratulating himself for making a good laydown. He then stood up and kissed the top of Vaserfirer's head, thanking him for showing his hand.

Sayonara Sayech

Shaun Deeb opened two back-to-back hands to 11,500 and Anatoly Gurtoyov moved all in over the top. Each time, Deeb folded. On the very hand after those two, Deeb raised to 11,500 again. Tomas Sayech decided to shove over the top for about 105,000 total. Deeb made the call this time, tabling {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. Sayech held {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Spades} {8-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades} and Deeb won the pot, sending Sayech home just a few spots short of the money. We're now down to 30 and Deeb has nearly 300,000 chips.
