Artur Osipov had been playing with fire and sheer aggression throughout the event so far and kept true to that on Day 3 as well. It vaulted him to more than 1.3 million but all that came to a crushing end just now in a massive pot against Natalia Panchenko and Dmitry Ponomarov.
Panchenko had raised to 35,000 in the last level and was called by Osipov in the cutoff and Ponomarov three-bet the small blind to80,000, both called. Ponomarov led the 
flop for 110,000 and picked up two calls. The turn was checked and Ponomarov check-folded to a bet of Pamnchenko for 225,000 and the shove of Osipov on the river.
Panchenko called after some consideration and Osipov only had 
for a pair of sixes, Panchenko tabled for rivered two pair to scoop the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
