Ilin Check-Raises Gergedava

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Dmitry Gromov is back in action and currently sits right next to Gleb Tremzin, he was able to run up small profit since returning to the felt.

The same also applies for Aleksandr Ilin, who was successful with a check-raise against Pavel Gergedava. After calling a raise to 2,000 preflop, Ilin check-raised the {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop from 2700 to 6,200 to force a quick fold.

Panchenko Doubles Through Grigoryants

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Natalia Panchenko
Natalia Panchenko

In a battle of the blinds, Natalia Panchenko ended up all in for 35,000 and needed to dodge one overcard against Artur Grirgoryants.

Natalia Panchenko: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Artur Grigoryants: {a-Diamonds}{q-}

The {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop all but sealed the double but the {j-Diamonds} turn gave Grigoryants some unexpected outs. A blank {4-Clubs} followed on the river and that kept Panchenko in the running, who is now even in chips with Dmitrii Sukhorukov.

Agababaev Shows a Bluff

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Three-ways to the {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, Otabek Sharipov checked and Evgeniy Maslennikov made it 2,800 to go from late position. Georgiy Agababaev on the button had other plans and raised to 7,700, Sharipov sigh-folded and Maslennikov reluctantly called.

Both quickly checked the {7-Clubs} turn and the {3-Spades} river brought a check-fold of Maslennikov when facing a bet of 6,000. Agababaev flipped over {k-Spades}{10-Spades} for a bluff.

Gonzaga Eliminated by Osipov

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Terry Gonzaga
Terry Gonzaga

Terry Gonzaga was all in for crumbs and the bigger side pot emerged between Aleksey Samkov and Artur Osipov. The flop brought {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Samkov checked, Osipov moved all in after seeing the stack of his opponent and Samkov folded with 31,000 behind.

Terry Gonzaga: {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Artur Osipov: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Backdoor diamonds or a similar miracle was needed for Gonzaga, but the {k-Clubs} turn ended his run for now and made the {7-Hearts} river a formality.

Orlov Takes The Lead

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksandr Orlov
Aleksandr Orlov

It was about an hour ago when Aleksandr Orlov complained about his current table and asked the floor to get a new one, half-joking. Things have since changed as Orlov has become one of the biggest stacks and a few drinks went his way, along with a few coin flips.

Latest victim of Orlov's run was Igor Khachaturov who failed to get there with {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} versus {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} on a {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board.

Gromov Felts Khvan

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vitaliy Khvan had been among the bigger stacks not long ago but his fortune just ran out when he got a below-average stack in preflop against Dmitry Gromov.

Khvan was trailing with the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} as Gromov held the slightly superior {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. Both paired their kicker on the {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board and Gromov rivered a flush for good measure.

A Double for Menshov

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The hopes of Sergey Menshov to make Day 2 are still alive after he just scored a double through Giorgiy Skhulukhiya. The cards of Skhulukhiya were mucked already as he paid off 8,400, being unable to beat the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for two pair on a {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board.
