Following an open-raise to 60,000 from middle position, Alexander Lakhov moved all in for around 500,000 from late position, then Damir Zhugralin called all-in from the small blind. The original raiser folded, leaving the two players to flip their cards.
Damir Zhugralin: A♦A♠
Alexander Lakhov: A♥Q♠
Lakhov ran into aces and needed a lot of help to claw it back. He found a pair on the K♥6♦Q♦ flop, but Zhugralin held on the 7♣ turn and J♣ river to win the pot, doubling his stack.
Action folded around to Chady El Ojeil, who pushed all in from the small blind with a short stack. Hanif Shafeghat called in the big blind with a slightly bigger stack, and players turned their cards.
Chady El Ojeil: K♦8♠
Hanif Shafeghat: Q♣9♣
El Ojeil found some security on the K♠J♥7♠ flop. Shafeghat picked up a pair of queens on the Q♦ turn, but El Ojeil held as the river came the 5♦ to double his stack.
Shafeghat was left short, but doubled up next hand to stay in contention.
