Zhang Takes Out Stalling Sidelkovskiy

Level 18 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With 400,000 in the middle on a flop of 10♣8♥3♥ Chenxu Zhang bet 25,000 from the button, which was enough to put Leonid Sidelkovskiy all in.

By the time the Israeli used three time bank cards, the rest of the table realised that he was stalling for a pay jump. The floor was called for clarification of the rules as Sidelkovskiy held a further six time cards. The floor confirmed that a player can use the cards for this purpose.

After the floor moved away, a player from another table was eliminated and Sidelkovskiy threw in his solitary 25,000 chip.

Leonid Sidelkovskiy: A♥10♦
Chenxu Zhang: Q♥J♥

Sidelkovskiy was ahead with a pair of tens, but Zhang had two overs, a flush draw, and a gutshot. Zhang hit a pair on the Q♦ turn, then improved to a straight on the 9♠ river to take the pot and eliminate Sidelkovskiy

Rusinovas Takes Out Niste

Level 17 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mihai Niste was all in for 420,000 and was looked up by Aleksanras Rusinovas, who only just covered the Romanian.

Mihai Niste: A♥10♠
Aleksanras Rusinovas: J♥J♠

Rusinovas asked Niste "Are you feeling lucky?" Niste didn't respond and stared at the board hoping his hand would win. a ten on the flop helped, but the board of 10♣8♥5♦5♠4♦ was not good enough and Niste was sent to the paycage.

Bryksin Flops the World!

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Yuliyan Kolev bet 50,000 from middle position and was called by Timur Mukhamedaminov in the hijack.

Ivan Bryksin in the big blind moved all in for 420,000. Kolev got out of the way, but Mukhamedaminov made the call.

Ivan Bryksin: K♣9♠
Timur Mukhamedaminov: 8♦8♣

The flop of K♠9♦9♥ could not have been much better for Bryksin as he made a full house. His Uzbeki opponent required the remaining two eights in the deck to win the pot. That miracle did not occur however as the 10♥4♦ completed the board.
