Lappo Pressures Novoselov

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Roman Novoselov opened to 4,000 in middle position and faced a three-bet from Vladimir Lappo to 12,000. Novoselov wasn't done yet, upping it again to 30,000. With the action back on Lappo, he shifted around in his seat a little before declaring his all in for another 100,000 on top.

Novoselov passed and is still in good shape with the average at 80,000 right now but that pot puts Lappo up to double the average stack.

Lipovka Convinces Karmatskiy

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Vadim Lipovka opened to 3,100 on the button and Arseniy Karmatskiy and Amir Shomron called in the small and big blinds respectively.

On the {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Lipovka continued for 4,500 when checked to and only Karmatskiy called. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and after a second check from Karmatskiy, Lipovka made it 11,500 to go further. Karmatskiy gave it some thought but looked comfortable with his fold.

Chen Building

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Pete Chen was one of the later entries in the tournament but he has managed to chip up nicely since then. His most recent chips came after he four-bet all in over Roman Novoselov's 11,000 three-bet. Novoselov decided that 95,000 total was too pricey and passed.

Two Pair vs Two Pair

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Petr Bartagov
Petr Bartagov

Maksim Bukreev opened to 2,500 and Petr Bartagov flatted behind. The flop was the {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Bukreev continued for 2,000. Bartagov raised to 6,500 and it was a call from Bukreev.

On the {3-Clubs} turn, Bukreev check-called a 16,000 barrel, after using a time bank card, which took them to the final street. The dealer laid a {k-Clubs} on the river and both players checked.

Petr Bartagov: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Maksim Bukreev: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Both players had flopped two pair but Bartagov's was the better and he narrows the gap between the two chip stacks.
