. Levi bet 16,000 and Troyanovskiy called.
The river completed the board with the 
, Levi bet another 16,000 which Troyanovskiy called.
Levi tabled 
for the rivered pair of eights, Troyanovskiy tabled 
for the same pair of eights but with the higher kicker to pick up the side pot. But Zoufri held 
to triple up to 15,000.
The hand right after, Vlad Darie raised to 35,000 from mid-position and it folded to Zoufri who went all-in from the small blind for 15,000. Alexandru Papazian folded in the big blind.
