The {9-Spades} paired the board on the turn and the Kazakh bet 2,900 and was called by Salvatore.

Both players checked the {j-Spades} river and Zhugralin turned over {6-Spades}{3-Spades} which was good enough to take the pot.

Akgul Sent To The Rail By Gulfer

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Huseyin Akgul moved all-in from the button for their remaining 8,800 and was called by Gursel Gulfer in the small blind.

Huseyin Akgul: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Gursel Gulfer: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

A classic race ensued and the flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} was relatively safe for Gulfer. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn gave Akgul a backdoor flush draw which panicked Gulfer to shout "no bloody diamond!"

The {8-Clubs} on the river was safe for Gulfer whose pocket queens held and eliminated Gulfer.

The Kazakhstani Battle

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After a raise to 5,200 from Baurchan Akimov from the small blind over an open of 1,600 from Damir Zhugralin, which the button had called, Zhugralin made the call and the button got out of the way.

Heads-up to a flop of {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, both players checked.

Same again on the turn, both players checking the {10-Clubs} turn.

The {6-Clubs} river however, brought a lead of 3,000 from Akimov, which Zhugralin quickly mucked to.
