Sokolov Eliminated by Zamayatin

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Dmitry Yurasov opened the action, making it 1,200 in middle position. Dmitriy Sokolov was sat in the small blind and moved all in for 14,100. Mikhail Zamyatin was sat on his direct left in the big blind and he paused before going all in over the top. It was enough to convince Yurasov to get out the way and he made an immediate fold.

Mikhail Zamyatin: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Dmitriy Sokolov: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Sokolov naturally looked disappointed to have run into the better hand and he stood up before the dealer laid out the {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} board, which held for Zamyatin.

Zyrin Chipping Up

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

The {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop was already out and there was 4,900 in the middle, with four players still in. Igor Izmailov was in the small blind preflop and he checked, Anatoliy Zyrin checked from the big blind and then Maksim Pisarenko and Roman Peresypkin followed suit who had been in early position preflop.

Izmailov checked again on the {7-Diamonds} turn and Zyrin put 2,500 over the line. Pisarenko passed, before Peresypkin raised to 7,000. Izmailov got out the way and Zyrin called, taking them heads up to the river.

On the {q-Hearts} river, Zyrin lead for 5,000 and Peresypkin upped it to 17,000. Zyrin immediately threw in a chip to signify a call, which prompted Peresypkin to send his cards into the muck. Zyrin continues to climb up in the counts.

Ved and Waigel in the Field

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Kartik Ved has only just finished playing the final table of the National and has already hopped into the Main Event. He has just won RUB 3,059,000 for his 4th place finish and will be hoping to build on the success he has already achieved during the festival.

Ezequiel Waigel is also in contention after making use of late registration. No doubt, he will be looking to improve on his 53rd place finish in this event last year.

Denisov on the Up

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Aleksandr Denisov
Aleksandr Denisov

Aleksandr Denisov and Adam Lamb were on the flop with {2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} on show. Denisov opted to bet-call Lamb's reraise. Taking them to the turn.

Denisov then checked and Lamb moved all in. It was a quick call from Denisov and Lamb was in trouble with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} in the hole against Denisov's {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Lamb was looking for a king, a deuce or an eight but instead the river came the {a-Spades} and Denisov took it with two pair. Lamb is left very short, whilst Denisov has one of the biggest stacks in the room now.

Big Call for Gao

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

There were three players in on a {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board. Wenling Gao who was in small blind position checked, as did Vladimir Pilyavskiy who was in the big blind. Vanush Mnatsakanyan bet 5,000 and Gao called before Pilyavskiy raised all-in for 25,600.

Mnatsakanyan let it go and Gao went into the tank, checking her cards several times before making the call. She was the player at risk but she was ahead with {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} against Pilyavskiy's {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

The dealer put an {a-Diamonds} out on the turn, which made Pilyavskiy a flush and Gao rose out of her seat before the irrelevant {8-Spades} came on the river.
