Aren Bezhanyan

Yesset Aimukhanov raised to 1,200 from the button and Aren Bezhanyan called from the big blind.

Bezhanyan checked the 593 flop and Aimukhanov continued for 1,100. Bezhanyan raised to 4,000, only for Aimukhanov to come back with a three-bet to 15,000. Bezhanyan wasn't done yet, as he four-bet to 26,000, and Aimukhanov continued via a call.

The J turn saw Bezhanyan bet 12,500. Aimukhanov took inventory of his remaining stack, which totalled around 49,000, before moving all in. Bezhanyan quickly called.

A player at the table remarked, "Set of nines over fives?" thinking it was a brutal cooler. However, he was only half right.

Yesset Aimukhanov: AQ All in
Aren Bezhanyan: 55

Bezhanyan had flopped a set of fives, while Aimukhanov still held only ace-high and was drawing dead with no outs. The K river was a mere formality as Bezhanyan pulled in the pot and sent Aimukhanov to the rail.

The 6 paired the board and Zabiyakin fired a second barrel of 8,000. Ulloa wasn't going anywhere, continuing via a call.

With around 45,000 in the middle on the 4 river, Zabiyakin bet approximately 25,000. Ulloa then moved all in for 83,000, sending Zabiyakin deep into the tank.

Zabiyakin burned through a couple of time banks before announcing, "Call," and sliding his chips into the middle. Ulloa said, "Good call," and tabled KJ for a pair of jacks. Zabiyakin revealed AK for the ace-high flush, sending Ulloa to the rail on the very first hand of the day while getting off to the dream start himself.
