Andrey Pateychuk defended big blind against a middle-position raise by Alexandr Merzhvinskii. The flop was {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Pateychuk checked. Merzhvinskii bet 175,000 and Pateychuk raised to 600,000. Merzhvinskii called and the turn was a {9-Hearts}. Pateychuk jammed for about 2.9 million and Merzhvinskii snap-called.

Andrey Pateychuk: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Alexandr Merzhvinskii: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Pateychuk needed a queen or a nine and he didn't get one as the {3-Spades} hit.

Merzhvinskii Binks Two-Outer, Doubles

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alexandr Merzhvinskii
Alexandr Merzhvinskii

Paul Michaelis raised to 210,000 on the button and faced a shove worth 2.39 million from Alexandr Merzhvinskii. He leaned back in thought, said something to his opponent, then slammed in some chips to call.

Alexandr Merzhvinskii: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Paul Michaelis: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Michaelis was a favorite to increase his lead even further but the {5-Hearts} in the window indicated things would likely go otherwise. The rest of the board was {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and Merzhvinskii doubled up.

They all checked through the {k-Clubs} on the turn to the {5-Clubs} on the river. Michaelis and Kobylynskyi checked, Branco now bet 550,000. Michaelis bet 1,900,000 and Kobylynskyi folded immediately.
