Welcome to Day 1B of the EPT Sochi National
The second of three starting flights for the EPT Sochi National will get underway shortly. Due to kick-off at 7pm, this flight differs from the other two in that it has 30-minute levels on the clock. It also offers players additional opportunities to get involved in the action as late registration for Day 1a ends after Level-8.
All flights have a starting stack of 30,000 chips and each Day 1 will play until 15% of the field remains. This means that every player who makes it through to Day 2 will return already in the money. The levels are 60 minutes from Day 2 onwards. There are unlimited re-entries available across all of the starting flights.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for full coverage of the event, which starts at 7pm local time.

Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
There were four players in on the turn, with 
down. Maksim Bukreev, Ivan Volodko and Marat Achilov check and Uri Gilboa bet 4,400. Only Volodko folded and leaving three players still in as they headed onto the river.
It's the and Bukreev opted to lead for 13,000. After a short spell in the tank, Achilov decided to pass and Gilboa went all-in over the top for 800 more. It's an easy call for Bukreev and they flip their cards over.
Uri Gilboa: 
Maksim Bukreev: 
It's the nuts versus the second nuts and Gilboa is off to a flying start. Meanwhile Bukreev is down to a third of what he started with.
