Sibgatova's Kings Cracked, Tabiyev Holds Against Burtin
Alisa Sibgatova just had her pocket kings cracked in brutal fashion. Afshin Afsharorumieh opened and Sibgatova three-bet to 3,500 on the button. The small blind four-bet to 11,200, which got Afsharorumieh to fold, but Sibgatova made a five-bet to 28,000. The small blind shoved, and Sibgatova called.
Alisa Sibgatova: K♥K♣ 
Small Blind: 10♦10♣
A cruel ten on the turn gave Sibgatova's opponent a set on the 2♠4♥5♠10♠A♠ runout, much to her dismay. Though she did buy right back in, so has a fresh stack of 100,000 to work with.
Elsewhere, with around 30,000 in the pot on a 5♠8♦Q♠5♦ board, Boris Tabiyev had a white chip, worth 25,000, in front of him and Kirill Burtin had shoved. Tabiyev took some time and eventually called off his stack of almost 70,000.
Boris Tabiyev: Q♣J♣
Kirill Burtin: A♠K♠
Tabiyev was in the lead, and stayed there when the 7♥ river bricked out for Burtin.
