Viacheslav Igin opened for 5,500 under the gun and Suleyman Ciftsuren three bet to 12,000 from the cutoff. Alexsandr Nemtcov on the button shoved all in for 43,600 and Igin folded. Ciftsuren made the call and there was another serious showdown.
Ciftsuren:
Nemtcov:
The flop was good for Nemtcov, and the on the turn and on the river were no thread. Double up for Nemtcov, while Ciftsure is struggling now.
It's really tough to count Maksym Panyak's chips, as he has towers of different heights, and he has a lot of them. Just now we saw Dzmitry Urbanovich get up from the table, and again it was Panyak who was getting the chips. We're unsure at this point what happened, but we do know Panyak has a whole lot of chips.
Suleyman Ciftsuren has been eliminated from the tournament. By the time we came checking what was going on at table seven, he was already drawing dead. He had no way of knowing at that time though.
With on the table it was Jorn Walthaus who had a bet out. Ciftsure was already all in at the time. After some thinking we saw Viacheslav Igin move all in from the small blind. Walthaus wasn't happy, and he folded with some reluctance after about ten seconds of thinking.
Ciftsure had and there wasn't a card in the deck that could save him. Igin had for a flopped set of fives, and the couldn't spoil his party.
