Just like that we are down to three. Rushad Iskandarov moved all in on the button and Maksim Bukreev called from the small blind. Elvin Sarkarov got out of the way and the pair turned their cards on their backs.
Rushad Iskandarov: 
Maksim Bukreev: 
The all-in player was a long way ahead and remained so on the 
flop, though Iskandarov had picked up an open-ended straight draw, giving him a few more outs. The 
turn was safe too but the river gave Iskandarov broadway and he sends Bukreev to the rail.
Two are left now, Elvin Sarkarov and Rushad Iskandarov and players will take a short break before heads up play begins.
