All the money went in preflop and when the cards went over it was the it turned out to be cooler stations for two of the players involved.
Irshat Shaykhov: 
Sergey Kolyasnikov: 
Vladimir Lappo: 
The board held for Shakov's rockets and he was delighted, cheering as the chips (and the chip lead) came his way. Meanwhile Vladimir Lappo has been sent to the rail and former chip leader Sergey Kolyasnikov has taken a hit but remains in good shape nonetheless.

Andrey Bondar got the last of his chips in and both Rushad Iskandarov and Sergey Kolyasnikov called in the small and big blinds respectively.
There was no further betting on the 
flop. Iskandarov bet 10,000 on the turn, which Kolyasnikov called, generating a side pot. Both players checked the 
river.
Rushad Iskandarov: 
Sergey Kolyasnikov: 
Andrey Bondar: 
Bondar was unfortunate not to win as he had been a long way ahead preflop and he has to head towards the exit just a few places outside of the money.
