Vasylchenko Takes From Asmolov

Level 2 : 100/300, 300 ante

Amir Oganyan opened the action to 800 from middle position and was called by Viktor Kudinov on his left, before Oleg Vasylchenko three-bet to 2,800 on the cutoff. Timofey Asmolov called in the small blind and Oganyan and Kudinov came along too.

On the {3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, everyone checked to Vasylchenko who continued for 3,000 and only Asmolov called. Both the {4-Hearts} turn and {8-Clubs} river went check-check and they turned over their cards.

Oleg Vasylchenko: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Timofey Asmolov: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Vasylchenko's pocket jacks were good and he collected the pot.

Wang Raises Yakuba

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Yang Wang
Yang Wang

Anton Yakuba opened to 1,000 from under the gun and only Yang Wang wanted to get involved, calling from the button.

Both players checked the {4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and on they went to the turn. It came the {9-Diamonds} and Yakuba bet 2,200, which Wang called.

The last card out was the {3-Clubs} and Yakuba upped his sizing, making it 6,000 to see his cards. Wang used his full 30 seconds of time before announcing a raise and putting 21,500 over the line. Yakuba folded immediately and Wang is off the mark.

Wang and Sargsyan the First to Fall

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Yang Wang
Yang Wang

In the last 10 minutes, there have been two eliminations. The second was Yang Wang who was down to 3,800 and got it all in against Maksim Panyuk.

Maksim Panyuk: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Yang Wang: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The board ranout safe for the preflop favourite and Wang will need to make use of his single re-entry in order to stay in contention. The same is also the case for Aram Sargsyan who was the first to fall.

Zyrin Doubles Up

Level 4 : 200/500, 500 ante

Anatolii Zyrin only had 3,500 chips and he decisively moved all in from early position. Maksim Skripkin was the only caller and when the cards went over, Zyrin was the slight favourite.

Anatolii Zyrin: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Maksim Skripkin: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The board came {7-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, giving Zyrin trips by the time the river was dealt, keeping him in the game.
