Chen Makes His Presence Known

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Maksim Bukreev has been the short stack for a while, with around 20 big blinds in play. He's been very quiet whilst the other three players have tussled and in the last couple of hands, it's Pete Chen who's come out on top.

First, he was in a hand with Elvin Sarkarov and bet 300,000 on the river, (more than the pot value) with {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts} down. It was enough to convince Sarkarov to pass.

Then Sarkarov opened the button to 44,000 and Chen called in the small and Rushad Iskandarov called in the big blind. The dealer laid {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs} on the flop and everyone checked.

On the {9-Clubs} turn, Chen lead for 57,000 and both Iskandrov and Sarkarov came along. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Chen barreled 160,000. Iskandarov folded but Sarkarov made the call. Chen tabled {k-Spades}{9-Spades} for the low full house and Sarkarov mucked.

Three Barrels Sees Sarkarov Extend His Lead

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Elvin Sarkarov is pulling in ahead after three-barrelling in a pot against Rushad Iskandarov.

He had opened the button and then bet 34,000 on the {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, 89,000 on the {10-Diamonds} turn and 218,000 on the {k-Spades} river, which Iskandarov check-called.

Sarkarov opened {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a turned two pair and Iskandarov sent his cards into the muck.

Back and Forth

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There hasn't been a showdown for a while and though there haven't been any big pots won, they have added up to make a fair difference in the counts.

Chen Makes a Move on Iskandarov

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pete Chen opened the button and was three-bet by Rushad Iskandarov to 122,000 in the small blind. Back on Chen and he wasn't done yet, four-betting all in. Iskandarov couldn't find a call and Chen took it down.

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

It's all over for Valery Yantsevich. He moved all in under the gun for 260,000 (13 big blinds) and Rushad Iskandarov called from the big blind. They opened their cards and Yantsevichh was ahead but not by much.

Rushad Iskandarov: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Valery Yantsevich: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop was safe for the all in player. So too was the {2-Hearts} on the turn. A {10-Spades} on the river sent the chips Iskandarov's way and Yantsevich made his way to the payouts desk.
