Nikita Lebedov Eliminated in 25th Place (€8,600)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A player in early position opened with a raise to 22,000 before Vadim Markushevski three-bet it up to 64,500. In the next seat over, Nikita Lebedov wasn't satisfied with the amount, and he moved all in for just about 270,000 total. The original raiser folded, but Markushevski didn't take too long to consider before making the call with the covering stack.

Showdown
Markushevski: {10-Clubs}

Lebedov:

The flop was pretty dry as it came {8-Diamonds}

, but a nice sweat came on the turn in the form of the {5-Hearts}

. Looking for any ace, king, or heart, Lebedov would find none. That last river card of his day was the blank {3-Clubs}

, and he has exited in 25th place.

Torsten Tent and Max Lykov are neck-and-neck for the chip lead after fast starts to both of their days. It looks like Tent was the first one to sneak over the million-chip mark, and he appears to have Lykov pipped by just a couple small chips.
