Nikita Luther
Nikita Luther

Ivan Zhechev opened to 5,300,000 from early position, leaving just 50,000 behind. Renat Bohdanov called in the hijack, and Nikita Luther called all in for her 4,750,000 chips in the big blind.

The dealer spread the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop and Zhechev check-called for his remaining 50,000.

Nikita Luther: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Ivan Zhechev: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Renat Bohdanov: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Bohdanov had the best hand with his cowboys, and the board ran out to leave him with the best hand, eliminating Luther in 16th place for €27,930 since she had fewer chips, and eliminating Zhechev in 15th place for €32,120.

On a {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board, Andrew Wilson checked in the big blind and Jack Sinclair bet 2,800,000 on the button. Wilson called.

The {2-Clubs} completed the board, Wilson checked, and Sinclair bet 8,500,000, with not much more behind. Wilson thought about it and begrudgingly put chips down onto the felt to signify a call.

Sinclair showed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, and Wilson mucked to send the chips over to his fellow Brit.
