Bystrenin Making Moves; Banicevic Making Promises

Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Oleg Bystrenin
Oleg Bystrenin

On a flop of 35K, Oleg Bystrenin checked from the small blind and Martin Brinkmann bet 1,600 in the cutoff. Bystrenin then bumped it up to 6,400, which Brinkmann called.

On the 4 turn, Bystrenin continued to show strength with a bet of 12,000, and that was enough to make Brinkmann folded

Bystrenin then showed Vidak Banicevic his cards, but the dealer enforced the 'show one, show all' rule and turned over 86.

During the hand, Banicevic was telling PokerNews that he would be at the final table for sure, and not to forget his name, while pointing to it on his registration slip. Not to worry, Vidak, see you on the final table!
