Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Vladimir Pilyavskiy limped from the hijack and Aleksandr Lakhov raised to 3,500, which resulted in a call from Aleksandr Sokolov in the small blind and Pilyavskiy. The flop brought 
and two quick checks sent the action back on Lakhov.
All it took to claim the pot was a bet of 4,400, as Sokolov and Pilyavskiy quickly got out of the way.
